9. THRESHOLD KNOBS

]
Feature:
threshold
selects the point where the
gain reduction
kicks in.
Benefit:
threshold
is the “when” control. “When” does the compressor start working? Gain reduction is implemented when the
audio crosses this level or
threshold
.
Operation: Full clockwise has little or no effect. Bring it back gradually, counterclockwise for implementation.
Tip:
,
ratio
determines “how much” the level will be tamed once it crosses the
threshold
.
Tip:
,
The
threshold
controls are ganged in
stereo
mode, thus the top knob will control both channels.
