<p>I recently had a question from a Patron asking me about whether I agreed with the views in this article: <a href="https://www.attackmagazine.com/features/columns/gregory-scott-demolishing-the-myths-of-compression/">Demolishing The Myths Of Compression</a>. Basically, the gist of the article is that a lot of people think the attack-time and release-time settings of a compressor measure how long a compressor <em>waits</em> before applying/resetting its gain reduction, whereas these parameters actually measure the <em>speed</em> at which a compressor applies/resets gain reduction. So, in answer to the Patron's question, my answer is: yes, I agree with this.</p>
