Attack variable in the mastering

[valentinbk]

Using EZMix on the master bus, what does the attack variable mean in this one? Smaller percentage = faster attack? Or the opposite?

I think it means more limiting. Look at your meters to see if they are decreasing (more limiting) or increasing (less limiting) when dialing that knob

Not entirely sure. What I was looking to fix is some popping and artifacts caused by the compression, and I read that attack time being too fast could be the cause of it.

I messed around with the attack knob a little, but wasn’t able to eliminate the popping (only by lowering the compression knob)
