Compression question
Compression is generally thought of as reducing dynamic range. However, let's say I've got a guitar amplifier that puts out pretty much the same volume when I pick lightly in the entire range from "light" to "soft-medium" (using an arbitrary input scale from 0dB to 3dB). If I put a compressor post-amp and side-chain it to my guitar input I could run it ducked whereby it's only active when the input is below 3dB on that arbitrary scale. Have I not expanded the lower threshold of my dynamic range?
