Channel Setup > Gate at a Glance [Pro]
Channel Setup > Compressor Introduction [Pro]
Compressors are used to reduce or limit transient peaks in a signal. If the signal is too hot, turn down that channel’s gain,
otherwise leave it alone. As the input level to the compressor increases, the output level increases linearly until the threshold
point is reached. After that point, the output level no longer increases linearly. Instead, it increases at a reduced rate determined
by the ratio setting.
The attack and release controls affect the rate of the gain change; attack affects the rate of the onset of gain reduction
and release affects the recovery rate once the transient has passed.
Channel Setup > Compressor On / Off [Pro]
Tap the Compressor button to turn the comp on or off. It will illuminate purple when engaged and is gray when disengaged.
Channel Setup > Compressor Presets [Pro]
Presets save parameters and may be recalled as needed. DLZ Creator comes with a library of factory presets.
There are also user presets. These may be created for each preset type.
An entire chapter is dedicated to presets. This includes detailed instructions and multiple screenshots every step of the way.
