# GetShapeEqCompAttack

Gets the compression attack multiplier.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
float GetShapeEqCompAttack(  
         const SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT* context  
)  
```

### Parameters

*context*   \_In\_\
Type: [SHAPE\_EQCOMP\_CONTEXT\*](/reference/audio/shapeeqcompcontext/structs/shape_eqcomp_context)

Pointer to a `SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT` object.

### Return value

Type: float

The attack multiplier.

## Remarks

Attack and release are specified in milliseconds, and correspond to how quickly the compressor should vary the output gain in response to the signal exceeding or falling below the threshold. These adjustments can be linear or log based.

The desired output level is not achieved until the input has exceeded the threshold for the time specified by attack, and similarly returns to unity only after the input is under the threshold for the time specified by release.

For more information, see [Equalization and compression](/build/console-features/audio/overviews/shape-overview#ID4ECF) in [Overview of SHAPE](/build/console-features/audio/overviews/shape-overview).

## Requirements

**Header:** shapeeqcompcontext.h

**Supported platforms:** XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
