11.1 DescriptionofControls
11 BUS COMPRESSOR (TDM AND AAX DSP ONLY)
5. TimeConstantandTypeSelector
Selects the compressor time constant dependency laws, NORMAL, LINEAR and
CLASSIC. The CLASSIC setting is a subset of the exponential type with fixed time
settings corresponding to a DBX 160 type compressor.
6. ExternalKeyInputSelector(notavailableforVST)
Selects externally derived signal to the sidechain input.
7. SoftRatioSelector
Selects soft ratio starting threshold in 5dB steps to –20dB below threshold control
setting.
8. RATIO
Controls the ratio of the compressor and expander processes. It is inoperative in
limiter and gate functions.
9. THRESHOLD
Controls the threshold of compressor or limiter function as selected.
10. ATTACK
Controls the attack time of compressor or limiter function as selected
11. HOLD
Controls the hold time of compressor or limiter function as selected.
12. RELEASE
Controls the release time of compressor or limiter function as selected.
13. MAKE-UP
Applies gain make-up to a maximum of +24dBr only when the compressor is
operative.
14. GainReductionMeters
Separate metering displays for relative gain reduction contributions of both
compressor (COMP) and limiter (LIMIT). Note that the overall gain reduction at any
time is the larger of these contributions.
