The output was also softer than necessary. Finally, a compressor which achieves constant time for the attack & manely constant time for the release, without an unnecessary lag before the release. It should give slightly louder results. It can also be daisychained without artifacts. Kiwipedia calls it adaptive compression. The release can rarely be constant time, in reality.
