Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying a gain characteristic to an audio signal are provided. Data storing a plurality of gain characteristics at a plurality of different levels is stored in a storage means. The amplitude of an input signal is repeatedly assessed and from this a gain characteristic to be applied to the input is determined.

A method for applying a gain characteristic derived from an original sampled device to an audio signal comprising the steps of:
- storing data representing a plurality of gain characteristics at a plurality of different levels;
- repeatedly assessing the amplitude of an input signal;
- determining a level of gain characteristic to be applied to the input signal;
- and
- applying the thus determined gain characteristic comprises multiplying the input signal by the thus determined gain characteristic and convolving the results with a stored impulse response.

A method for applying a gain characteristic to an audio signal comprising the steps of:
- storing data representing a plurality of gain characteristics of a reference device at a plurality of different levels;
- repeatedly assessing the amplitude of an input signal;
- determining a gain characteristic to be applied to the input signal in response to a manual input;
- and
- using the thus determined gain characteristic to retrieve stored data representing said determined gain characteristic and applying said data to the input signal.
