Compressor ratio question

[Zachyboy4]

I am trying to use a compressor on a vocal track in Logic. Im using just the regular compressor plug in that came in Logic.

What i dont get is that the ratio options all have three numbers, like "4:0:1". I dont know what that means.

I looked in a couple of books for an answer but couldn't find anything. they only talk about two digit ratios on compressors.

any one know what that means? thnks!

You sure it's not 4.0:1?

haha. I think you need to replace "4:0:1" with "4.0:1" The ratio is just more detailed than whole numbers.

haha. wow. thats really a bit embarrassing. thanks for pointing out the obvious!
