About this drill

Hear the ratio in how much it moves.

Ratio is how hard the compressor pushes back once the signal is over the threshold. Both versions share one threshold, as if you turned only the ratio knob, and play at the same loudness. It starts at 1.5:1 against 20:1 and ends at 2:1 against 10:1.

How it works

  1. Press Start and flip between A and B (key B).
  2. Listen to how much it still moves: clamped flat, or leaned on gently?
  3. Pick the higher ratio (keys 1 and 2).

Levels

Six levels: Beginner (1.5:1 against 20:1), Intermediate (the same, lighter) and Advanced (2:1 against 10:1). Each tier starts on the drums, where compression is easiest to hear; vocals come in at Advanced. Levels 1 and 2 are free. Levels 3 and up are part of Mix Chops Pro, and every level is open while Mix Chops is in early access.
