Sorry if this has been asked before, but what exactly is changing in Dr. Compressor? Only the ratio? I’ve reached a pretty high level and I can’t seem to level up no matter how much I listen. I feel like the tricks I was using no longer apply.

I thought it was the ratio and threshold, but I have no idea, truth be told. Compression has always been my weak area.

I'm pretty sure the ratio is fixed at 8:1 (can't seem to find the post)

The parameters for dr. Compressor are always the same. As written in the game description the attack is very fast (close to 0) and the release time is also very short. Only the threshold is getting a bit higher with each level/stage. Distorted reality also presents a very simple saturation process, while the drive parameter is a bit higher with each stage/level. Drive and threshold values are not meaningful by themself becuase their effect also content dependent. The effect of lower threshold or higher drive is the same as if we keep these parameters at the same value and raise the audio content level. So these exact values will not add anything to your understanding of what you hear.
