Compression is an important tool in sound architecture as it helps to even out the dynamic range of an audio signal. It can reduce the volume of loud sounds and increase the volume of quiet sounds, bringing the overall volume of the signal to a consistent level. This results in a smoother and more polished sound, particularly in recordings or performances with multiple musicians or instruments. Compression can also enhance clarity and add character to a sound, depending on the settings used. Ultimately, compression helps to create a more balanced and professional-sounding audio production.
