3.3. Getting hands-on with Comp DIODE-609
3.3.1. The basics
• Load a stereo clip into an audio track in your DAW (or use a submix or group
track in one of your music projects, or even the master stereo output). A master
out or group submix would be great, since this is more of a tone sculpting
compressor/limiter;
• Load an instance of Comp DIODE-609 as an insert in that track. Open the plug-in
window;
• Ensure the Default preset is loaded. This way all parameters assume their default
values. Now click the "Advanced" button on the right side of the Upper Toolbar.
This will open the Advanced control panel below the main compressor controls;
• Start playback. You will notice several things. First one is there is just a very
slight difference in the audio (you may check this by switching the plug-on off
and on again). Switching it off will put it in Bypass, leaving the audio untouched
- only the VU meters remain active. That's because, with the controls at their
default values, only the transformer model and the diode bridge model will be
processing the audio. If you click the vintage VU meters to change the display
to the modern digital one, you will see a flat line representing Gain Reduction,
and below the volume contour (In and Out are exactly the same). The GR level
indicator to the right remains Off, meaning there isn't any reduction happening;
• This display may not look as "vintage" or "cool" as the other one, but certainly
gives you much more information. Anyway, you can always go back to the other
one by clicking to it again;
