T I P
If you are unsure of the operation of a compressor or
any of the effects described here, it is a good idea to
read one of the many excellent introductory books on
audio and recording.
NOTE
Even if no mic effects are assigned, you can still edit
the parameters on each channel. You must assign the
mic effects in order to use them.
