Hi,

The DynamicsCompressorNode seems to expect a channel count of 2. But if I connect a mono source, it seems to always boost the level by about 3dB, because of its makeup gain adjustment. So even when using a threshold of 0 dB / ratio of 1:1 there is a gain being added to the source file.
I now have to implement an extra gain stage when the source file is mono. Isn’t there an alternative to resolve this issue?

Best wishes,

Robin
