QUESTION About the Compressor Module in FL Mobile

[Cursed Muse]

Hey Guys!
>[TL;DR]
How does the FL Mobile compressor Module interpret the input signal? RMS? Peak? True Peak? I want to know so I can use the same signal metering for the Analyzer module, for better fine tuning for my compression, being able to accurately see what I'm trying to compress, versus how the compressor would see it.
>[/TL;DR]


You can't quite figure out by eye how a compressor should be set from a LUFS average graph... But you can definitely use it afterwards to see what the compression did overall! However, I never am quite sure with whether to read RMS or Peak when using the Analyzer for my compressor ideas.... I know I know... It shouldn't matter as long as it SOUNDS GOOD.
And that's true for the most part, before I knew what it meant I'd always read from "true peak" because I figured true meant ACCURATE-EST! But after learning it essentially meant analog I figured that that probably wasn't accurate AT ALL as far as seeing what the compressor is gonna be reading from. Who knows maybe it doesn't really matter all that much but I'd sure love to know what exactly the compressor is reading and how I could best set the Analyzer to visually represent the compressor input.

It doesn't seem necessary for the Multi-Band Compressor because it has its own visual analyzer, which begs the question, why doesn't the normal compressor get one as well? Is there a 3 band minimum to get cool visual analysis metering? Lol!

Does ANYONE happen to know how the compressor Module interprets its input signal for compression?
Many thanks!

Awesome! Thanks you so much man!
