Compressor
Compressor — real, working dynamics. Dial threshold/ratio/attack/release/knee, and the curve on its face IS the compression it applies: the gain comes from the same function the kernel draws with. Melody-owned DSP (dynamics-rt), replacing the browser's DynamicsCompressorNode, which added an undocumented makeup gain even below threshold (measured +5.49 dB with nothing being compressed) and so drew a curve it did not play. This is the one that actually compresses.
