Downward Compression
If you follow downward compression
with some make up gain do you end up
with UPWARD COMPRESSION

And can some one really explain downward compression .

Downward compression reduces loud sounds above the threshold while quiet sounds remain unaffected.

Upward compression increases the loudness of sounds below the threshold while leaving louder passages unchanged.

Different beasts.
