CHAPTER 10 |

AM MENU

Bypass Menu

Enabling the

Bypass Processing

button bypasses all dynamics processing except for Undo, which has its own

dedicated controls in the

Undo

menu. The

Bypass Gain

control should be set to that the level of unprocessed

(bypassed) audio matches the level of processed audio as closely as possible. Note that the final clipper is still
active even in bypass mode as modulation must still be properly controlled.
