How do I set the compressor ratio correctly?

[daveronan]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to map the percentage value for the compressor to the actual ratio value of the compressor in Bitwig. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

My understanding is that if your ratio value is expressed in r = [1.0, inf), then the .dawproject value is (100 / r).

i.e.

• 1:1 -> 100%
• 2:1 -> 50%
• inf:1 -> 0%
