So this might be a bit more of a compressor question than a logic question as such. But it's in relation to the logic compressor.
When you have the compressor in graph mode so you can see the white line threshold, is the sound only being compressed when it drops down to the actual sound level, say a bit below the peaks? I've screen grabbed two examples below. The only difference is in B I've dropped the threshold down so it is clipping the peaks visually.
Is the sound being compressed in both examples? In example B I've had to drop the threshold to about -45dB which seems a huge amount more than the books, videos and education tells you. With example A it doesn't sound any different at all though. What's happening here exactly? Thanks.
