Re: Compressor QuestionSemantics, either you use the compressor to control the peaks, and the nominal level is unaffected, or you use the compressor to flatten more of the dynamics to bring more of the material up to nominal level. In the first case, gbf is unaffected, in the second case it is obviously reduced by the amount of gain reduction at nominal level. If you want to be pernickety, even maximum available power, power compression etc. might at some intermittent points in time be reducing gbf because you have gain reduction at those points.
