•
RATIO
: gain reduction of the processed (compressed) signal compared to the
incoming signal
•
ATTACK
: time it takes the compressor to start compressing after the
threshold has been reached
•
RELEASE
: time the compressor uses to stop compressing after the input
signal has fallen below the threshold
•
MAKE-UP
: gain applied to the signal after compression, to globally increase
its level once dynamically modified
•
KNEE
: type of curve (transition zone around the threshold) that determines
whether the bend in the response curve around threshold is abrupt (HARD)
or gradual (SOFT)
•
GR (GAIN REDUCTION
): compression real time indicator (dB), very useful to
adjust different parameters of the compressor, including MAKE-UP GAIN
5.
COPY/PASTE
: icons to copy the settings from one channel and "paste" them in
another, cloning the settings (all settings, except the label or channel name)
The two inputs can be part of the same group. In this mode, the settings of an input
(for example the left channel) will be automatically applied to the other input (right
channel), and vice versa.
The F2 key allows you to rename an input or output channel:
