The compressor is installed. Not too sure about the Compress Ratio units. Does 0.5 mean 2:1 compression? Not a clue. I presented the problem to the forum along with samples of the work and someone posted those settings. They worked. Chris is intended to work by itself. It's a stand-alone compressor...
