Abstract
An audio compressor may regulate the level of an audio input signal depending on whether the level is above or below a threshold value. The audio compressor may control a pumping that is created when regulating a dynamic range of an audio signal with the threshold value. A feedback loop connecting the signal output from the audio compressor with a release filter may be used to modify an effective release time of the signal. A controller may be used that allows a filter coefficient of the release filter to be controlled to adjust the effective release time as a function of the signal output.
