Audio Leveler

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

It shouldn't matter if the audio are already compressed. You always have a limiter that you set to take care of sudden peaks in the audio and that will be virually unused with already compressed audio sources. The speed of the attach and release of the compression are set to get the most pleasent audio without creating a too much pumping effect. Some very cheap compressors lack som adjustable controls like attack time or even release time that are needed to tailor the sound to your preference.

Our local dispatcher is very compressed. Not only do the dispatcher speak very rapidly, the audio lacks any dynamic range. Then we have a helicopter air unit. It is mic'd with a ton of gain, excellent dynamic range. But it blasts you out of the room. Then when you turn the audio down, the dispatcher is very weak. This is all P25, so the dispatcher and many field units sound muffled.
