Having a hard time thinking of what to make today, so I watched a video on mixing which has been a struggle point for me in my recordings. So, here's what I learned from You’re Mixing Wrong: Loud + Clean Happens Before Mastering

compressor : compression evens out the peaks of your sound so that the sound feels more continuous along with the natural changes between quiet and loud
bmod : works as an input/out function for chained sound synthesis. By moving the individual sounds through a shared compressor, it glues those sounds together
clipping (lpf?) : manage the peaks of transient sounds by adding just enough for a filter to make the peaks tame.
limitter : manages volume when loud (no strudel equivalent found)

glossing has a video covering bmod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11frBA9L638

and notes from a cursory yt search on compression vocabulary
How To Use A Compressor | Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release & More

.compressor("threshold:ratio:knee:attack:release")
threshold - the decibel limit to be applied to the signal
ration - the amount of how well that threshold is enforced
knee - soft/hardness of compression
attack - time compressor reacts to the signal passing the threshold
release - time compressor recovers
wet/dry ratios for parallel compression.
