Grabyo Live features a simple but fully functional dynamic range compressor to help you land the right mix for your production. Whether you need subtle compression or brick-wall limiting, the built-in tool gives complete control over your audio signals.

Getting started with compression
Click the enabled icon within the audio interface to activate the compressor. Once it is on, a complete set of controls is available to shape the sound.
Control | What it does |
Threshold | Sets the level at which the compressor begins to engage |
Ratio | Adjustable from 1:1 up to 24:1 — everything from gentle levelling to strict brick-wall limiting |
Knee softness | Customises how gently or aggressively the compressor transitions into gain reduction |
Attack and release | Fine-tunes how quickly the compressor responds to peaks and how fast it lets go. An automatic mode is included |
Makeup gain | At the bottom of the interface. Boosts overall volume after the signal has been compressed to reach your required loudness |
✅ Tip: If you are not sure where to start with attack and release, switch them to automatic mode and shape the sound with threshold and ratio first.
Multi-stage processing
Compression is not limited to a single master fader. It is available across:
All inputs
All submix groups
All outputs
This means you can implement multiple stages of compression throughout the signal chain — light control at input, glue on a submix group, and final limiting at output.
