Abstract
For a media clip that includes audio content, a novel method for performing dynamic range compression of the audio content is presented. The method performs an analysis of the audio content. Based on the analysis of the audio content, the method generates a setting for an audio compressor that compresses the dynamic range of the audio content. The generated setting includes a set of audio compression parameters that include a noise gating threshold parameter ('noise gate'), a dynamic range compression threshold parameter ('threshold'), and a dynamic range compression ratio parameter (“ratio”).
