The AW2400 provides dynamics processing capability on all input and track channels: compres-
sion on the track channels, and both compression and gating on the input channels. The dynam-
ics processor parameters are adjusted manually via the Selected Channel section in the same
way as the EQ parameters. A range of dynamics presets for a variety of instruments is also pro-
vided in the dynamics library.
In this section we’ll see how to recall dynamics processor preset from the library and apply com-
pression to the channel 1–8 signals.
