Chapter 30: Precision Buss Compressor

Toggling the Fade switch causes an already active fade to reverse direction,
without a jump in output level. The Fade Set rate is constant even if an active
fade is interrupted. For example: If the Fade Set value is 30 seconds and a
fade out is initiated, then Fade is clicked again after 20 seconds, it will take
20 seconds to fade back in.

Note:

Shift+click the Fade button to instantly return the level back to 0 dB (this

feature cannot be automated).

Input Level

Input controls the signal level that is input to the plug-in. Increas-
ing the input may result in more compression, depending on
the values of the Threshold and Ratio parameters.

The default value is 0 dB. The available range is ±20 dB.

Mix

The Mix control determines the balance between the original
and the processed signal. The range is from 0% (dry unproc-
essed signal only) to 100% (wet processed signal only). The
default value is 100%.

Output Level

Output controls the signal level that is output from the plug-in.
The default value is 0 dB. The available range is ±20 dB.

Output controls both the dry unprocessed and wet processed
signals (as determined by the Mix control).

Generally speaking, adjust the Output control after the desired amount of
compression is achieved with the Threshold and Ratio controls. Output does
not affect the amount of compression.

Level Meters

The stereo peak/hold Input
and Output Meters display the
signal level at the input and
output of the plug-in.

The range is from –30 dB to 0 dB. Signal peaks are held for 3 seconds before
resetting.
