Using the master compressor
5 When used as a compressor, this allows you
to raise the overall loudness of the drums by
compressing brief peaks in the sound. This lets the
sound project better, without being buried in the
mix by the other instruments.
5 When used as a comp-limiter, this lets you increase
the recording level while limiting the maximum
input to the recording device.
5 If you’re using a small monitor amp, you can use
this effect as a limiter so that the peaks of the drum
sound are limited, making the sound less likely to
distort.
Using the master equalizer
5 This lets you adjust the tonal character by boosting
or cutting each of the four bands (LOW/MID1/
MID2/HIGH).
5 You can also use this to make compensations in
the tone when using the master compressor.
