Envelope Time Constant

Relate an exponential decay constant to a target attenuation.

Your result
Time to target (ms)
69.07755

How this works

time = τ × attenuation dB × ln(10)/20

Use the result carefully

The input time is one mathematical time constant. Compressor release labels use different conventions.
