Comp/Gate

The Comp/Gate affects the incoming vocal’s dynamics. The Comp/Gate can be used to smooth 

out a vocal performance by adjusting the outgoing gain of the signal based on the incoming 

amplitude of the vocal. The Gate function is useful for removing background noise from the 

incoming signal, or for muting the signal when it falls below a certain threshold.  In order to turn 

the Comp/Gate row off, you need to turn Type to 

OFF

 

and Noise Gate to 

GATE OFF

.

Turns the compressor off.

Abruptly reduces gain when the input level rises above 
the threshold. (Hard knee.)

Gently reduces gain when the input level rises above the 
threshold. (Soft knee.)

Very gently reduces gain when the input level rises above 
the threshold. (Softer knee.)

Ratio

cratio 

x.x

The ratio (x.x) of the change in input level to the change 
in output level, measured in decibels (dB). For example, 
a 2: ratio means that for every 2 dB the input level 
changes, the output level changes  dB. Range: .0 - 5.0

Warning

: Using a high compression ratio increases 

susceptibility to feedback due to the higher gain used.

Threshold

cmp thresh

This parameter determines the input level of the “knee.” 
A value of 0 corresponds to 0 dB and a value of 99 
corresponds to –40 dB. Range: 0-99

Attack/

Release

cmp rate

Controls how quickly the compressor begins and ends 
its effect on the signal. Range: -9

Noise

Turns the Gate function off.

The Gate function triggers at –xx decibels.  
Range: –80dB to –20dB

EQ

The EQ parameters allow the tone of the incoming vocal to be adjusted as indicated by the table 

below.  This function cannot be entirely bypassed via a single parameter, instead the Low Cut 

must be turned 

OFF

 and the remaining gains (

DB Bass

DB Mid Gain

DB Treble

) must 

be set to “0 dB” to bypass this feature.

Low Cut
