Re: DynamicsCompressor and emphasizing high frequencies

Some kind of compressor has emphasis control knob.
For example, famous vintage compressor 'LA2A' has that.
This function is originaly designed for FM broadcast application
to avoid over modulation. But now, may be used to fine adjustment
of favorite sound colors.
(WebAudioAPI's gain curve seems be same as FM broadcasting
emphasis curve)

IMO, emphasis is not essential to standard compressors
It is a category of know-how of paticular equipments.
