# GetShapeEqCompCompressorMode

> GetShapeEqCompCompressorMode

# GetShapeEqCompCompressorMode

Gets the compression mode.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
SHAPE_EQCOMP_COMPRESSOR_MODE GetShapeEqCompCompressorMode(  
         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: SHAPE\_EQCOMP\_COMPRESSOR\_MODE

A member of the [SHAPE\_EQCOMP\_COMPRESSOR\_MODE](/reference/audio/shapeeqcompcontext/enums/shape_eqcomp_compressor_mode) enumeration.

## Remarks

In normal mode, the input level is instantaneous, with compression calculated for each sample. In RMS mode, a running average, representing an approximation of the RMS value, of the previous 128 samples is used as the input level, rather than the absolute level of the current input sample. (The running average is an approximation of the RMS value.)

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
