Syntax

Parameters

context   _Inout_
Type: SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT*
Pointer to a SHAPE_EQCOMP_CONTEXT object. gain   
Type: float
The gain multiplier.

Return value

Type: HRESULT HRESULT success or error code.

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.
