INTRODUCTION
        Radium Compressor is the system compressor in Radium,
        but distributed as a standalone jack application.

        Radium Compressor uses the stereo compressor found in 
        effect.lib in the Faust distribution.
        This compressor is written by Julius O. Smith III.

        The Radium version is an optimized version of this compressor
        by using fast approximate logarithmic and exponential functions
        written by Paul Mineiro:
        http://www.machinedlearnings.com/2011/06/fast-approximate-logarithm-exponential.html

        The GUI shows accurately the sound used for compression,
        and how much the sound is being compressed.
