  It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Compression narrows the difference between the loudest and softest parts in a track so that it’s more consistent in level. How you set the parameters depends on the track you are working on and what you want to accomplish.
  
  Here is basic info to help you understand the options in the Music Speed Changer compressor: The wet means how much percent of the compression you want applied. The input gain is how much you want to boost or soften the signal of the track before the compression is applied. The output is how much you want the signal changed after compression. The attack determines how quickly the input signal is pulled down to the full ratio value when it exceeds the threshold. The release is the opposite, meaning the total time it takes for the signal to return to an uncompressed state. The ratio is the amount the level is reduced. It allows you to tame the peaks. The threshold is where it starts attenuating the signal. The high-pass filter is an EQ curve that removes low-frequency sounds.
  
  For a deeper technical understanding of the parts of a compressor, do a web search, there is a ton of information on compressors and how to use them available online.
  
  Try playing around with the compressor, the best setup is always what sounds best to you!
