Compression reduces the difference between louder and quieter parts of the signal. It can restrain peaks, lift decaying notes and make picking feel more even, but strong settings also change the attack and add audible sustain or pumping. Threshold, ratio, attack, release and blend determine when gain reduction begins, how firmly it acts and how much natural transient detail remains.
