What you’ll hear
Adaptive Compression is a tricky effect to perceive, but
will significantly help your voice stay balanced in a mix. It
smoothes your dynamics by increasing low levels and
decreasing the high levels of your voice. The more
compression you apply by turning the knob right of
centre, the smoother your voice will become. Without
compression it’s like singing directly into someone’s ear.
If you're having trouble hearing the effect, try singing
with an extreme dynamic range (very loud than
suddenly very soft) with the compress knob set at full.
Try toggling between LE effects on and off with the Right
Footswitch.
You should be able to hear what it’s doing now. Leaving
the Compress control at 12 o’clock should give optimal
results in most applications.Turning the Compress Knob
down from center will reduce the effect.
Manual Compress
Press the Adaptive Compress Button to turn the
adaptive nature of the compressor off. While set to
manual, the compressor works like a soft knee
compressor. To get the right sound you may need to
adjust your input level and the Compress Knob.
