GetShapeEqCompInputLevel

Gets the input level of the compressor.

​
Syntax

​
Parameters

context   _In_
Type: SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT* Pointer to a SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT object.

​
Return value

Type: float The input level.

​
Remarks

The compressor limits the dynamic range of the signal by monitoring the level of input and creating a dynamic gain value. The compressor then uses the gain value as a multiplier of the signal, scaling it appropriately, according to the current level of the input signal. In other words, the compressor is an automatic volume control that is constantly monitoring the input signal and adjusting itself. For more information, see Equalization and compression in Overview of SHAPE.
