- This paper is a novel study into the timbral characteristics of seminal dynamic range compressor (DRC) designs. It involves comparative analysis of the DRCs under a range of conditions and highlights their unique traits, which affect the sound quality of these devices and in turn their impact on the sonic signature of popular music productions. The work is novel and significant because it brings together a range objective testing methodologies to present a unique working method for cataloguing the sound quality of music production equipment and how it pertains to timbre.
