D3 Parameters
Input Level
Input Level attenuates signal input level to the
compressor or limiter. The range of this control
is from –30 dB to 0 dB.
When you use the stereo version of the D3 plug-
in, each channel has its own separate Input
Level knob. To adjust input levels for both chan-
nels simultaneously, Shift-drag. Alt-Shift-click-
ing (Windows) or Option-Shift clicking (Mac) ei-
ther Input Level knob resets both channels to
0 dB.
Output Level
Output Level adjusts the overall output gain. Be-
cause large amounts of compression can restrict
dynamic range, the Output Level knob is useful
for compensating for heavily compressed sig-
nals and making up the resulting difference in
level.
When you use the stereo version of the D3 plug-
in, this single knob controls the master output
for both channels. The range of this control is
from –12 dB of attenuation to +18 dB of gain.
External Key and Key Listen
The side-chain is the split-off signal used by a
plug-in’s detector to trigger dynamics process-
ing. External Key lets you designate an external
source (known as the
key input ) for the side-
chain, while Key Listen lets you monitor the key
input.
