Yes, that's the Fractal part of Fractal Audio! But seriously, it's not time travel, but volume travel: the compressor makes up the volume.
Pictures are always helpful! Instead of the note sounding like it's coming in at 2 because of the swell, it is pulled back towards 1 via the compressor.

Disclaimer for the pedants: not to scale, not the right tapers for pick attack, swell effect or compression, fictional time scale. Simply a diagram.

I was messing around with this today, can anyone recommend which Compressor to use and what settings are best to achieve this?
