==Serial compression==
Serial compression is a technique used in [[Sound recording and reproduction|sound recording]] and [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixing]]. Serial compression is achieved by using two fairly different compressors in a signal chain. One compressor generally stabilizes the [[dynamic range]] while the other aggressively compresses stronger peaks. This is the normal internal signal routing in common combination devices marketed as ''compressor-limiters'', where an RMS compressor (for general gain control) is followed by a fast peak-sensing limiter (for overload protection). Done properly, even heavy serial compression can sound natural in a way not possible with a single compressor. It is most often used to even out erratic [[vocal]]s and [[guitar]]s.
== Software audio players ==
Some [[audio player (software)|software audio players]] support [[Plug-in (computing)|plugins]] that implement compression. These can increase
