A lot of the vintage units sampled to create the compressor emulations have fewer controls or control
options than all of the available dials on Liquid Mix. As such, in default mode, some of the controls may not
be active. On the hardware, this will be indicated by the control active LEDs above those dials not being lit
and no corresponding values being displayed on the screen. On the software, the inactive controls will be
greyed out with no values directly above. Similarly, if the vintage unit simply had a few preset buttons or very
limited options then the Liquid Mix controls will step through those options as the active controls are rotated.
The Free switch on the Liquid Mix hardware and software provides you with options previously impossible
with the vintage units. Activating the switch makes all the Liquid Mix compressor controls active for that
emulation, each with a full range. For example, the ‘Vintage’ compressor emulation has no Ratio and Attack
controls in default mode but with the Free switch active both controls are enabled, with ranges of 1:1-20:1
and 0.1ms-2s, respectively. Additionally, the Release control now has a range of 1ms-20s, rather than
stepping through the 6 TC (Time Constant) presets available on the vintage units.
