Level Meters in the Compressor Panel (Plug-in Strip)

In the Plug-in Strip, the Compressor panel offers a few extra features not available in the Con-

trol area:

▪

The

Threshold

and

Gain

faders (corresponding to the

Threshold

and

Gain

parameters of the

Main

page in the Control area) provide level meters for visual monitoring of the input and

output levels. In particular, by comparing the input level with the position of the

Threshold

fader, you can easily see you which parts of the signal will be compressed, and adjust the

Threshold

fader accordingly.

▪

An additional

level meter indicates the gain reduction currently applied by the Compres-

sor to the input signal.

15.1.2 Gate

The Gate cuts any part of the input signal which falls below the input threshold. This can be

used to rhythmically chop the signal and make it stutter or sound staccato.
If this effect is used in a Sound or a Group, it also provides a Side-Chain Input page (in the

Control area and on your controller).
