    The document discusses compression ratio, threshold, attack, release and gain as they relate to audio compression. It states that a lower threshold means compression happens more often, while a higher threshold only happens on peaks. It also notes that attack determines how quickly sound is compressed after passing the threshold, while release affects how gradually the compression is reduced.
