Expansion allows the signal to “sneak up” to the full signal level without any
loss of “under threshold” nuances.
235L Meter
This meter displays, in dB, the amount of gain attenuation (downward
expansion) occurring in the 235L module.
235L On
This button enables the 235L module. The module is active when the button’s
green indicator is lit.
Note: UAD DSP load is reduced when this module is inactive (unless DSP
LoadLock is enabled).
225L
Compressor/
Limiter
The 225L Compressor/Limiter offers a continuously vari-
able ratio between 1:1 (no compression) and infinity:1
(limiting). Three attack speeds and continuously variable
release times are available. A hard/soft knee setting and
a unique new/old setting are also available in the mod-
ule.
225L Threshold
Threshold defines the input level at which compression
begins. The available range is +10 dB to -20 dB. The de-
fault value is 0 dB.
Signals that exceed the threshold are processed by the
Ratio value. Signals below the threshold are unaffected.
Rotate this control clockwise to increase the compression
effect.
Note: The 225L compressor automatically increases makeup gain to com-
pensate for levels that are reduced during compression. However, just like the
original hardware, the plug-in’s compensated makeup gain levels are not per-
fectly linear.
