The Comp/Limit switch affects the compression
ratio. The common setting for audio production
is Comp, which provides a maximum compres-
sion ratio of approximately 3:1. In Limit mode,
the unit behaves more like a broadcast limiter,
with a higher threshold and compression ratio
of approximately 15:1.
Metering
Both Gain Reduction and Output metering are
provided.
In GR (Gain Reduction) mode, the needle moves
backward from 0 to show the amount of com-
pression being applied to the signal in dB.
In Out (Output) mode, the needle indicates the
output level of the signal. The meter is cali-
brated with 0 VU indicating –18 dBFS.
Tips and Tricks
AudioSuite Processing
When using the AudioSuite version of the
BF-3A, be sure to select an auxillary side-chain
input (normally the track you are processing).
The default is “None” and if you leave it set like
this, there is nothing feeding the detector and
you will not hear any compression action.
Line Amp
Turn the Peak Reduction knob full counter-
clockwise (off) and use the Gain control to in-
crease the signal level. Although the BF-3A does
not compress the sound with these settings, it
still adds its unique character to the tone.
