Line 39: A compressor is sometimes used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal for transmission, to be expanded afterwards. This reduces the effects of a channel with limited dynamic range. See [[Companding]]. Gain Pumping, where a regular amplitude peak (such as a kick drum) causes the rest of the mix to change in volume ~~in time~~ due to the compressor, is generally avoided in music production. However, many dance musicians use this pheomenon in a creative way, causing the mix to 'pump' rhythmically in time with the beat. == See also ==
