How to Use the Sony Track Compressor

The Sony Track Compressor is a VST post-production plug-in designed for use with home computer-based music production software. It increases the output gain of a track during the mastering process having the overall effect of making it sound louder while losing minimal dynamics. If you're familiar with music production software, it's a simple add-on with which to familiarize yourself.

      Open Sony Track Compressor on the master buss out channel of your mixer. In most programs you'll find the plug-in in an effects drop down menu on the out channel.

      Apply gain conservatively as required ensuring your track does not clip or distort as you do so. Gain increases the amplitude of your audio signal and makes it sound louder.
