Makeup
Controls the post compression/expansion make-up gain. The make-up gain occurs in the
signal chain before the mix control, output gain and the output limiter.
Auto Makeup
Engages the automated makeup control which uses a set ratio and threshold. Due to the fact
that some manual calibration may still be needed, a Makeup control can be used for this
purpose.
Caution!
Turning on Auto Makeup may produce a sudden considerable gain change
and corresponding click.
Low s.c. (PSP MasterComp only)
Controls the low cut or low shelf frequency of the side chain filter.
Low s.c. type switch (PSP MasterComp only)
Clicking the low shelf / low cut icon next to the “Low” label switches to an alternate low
filter type. The shelf filter is set to + 12dB while a cut filter gives attenuation down to -15dB.
High s.c. (PSP MasterComp only)
Controls the high cut or high shelf frequency of the side chain filter.
High s.c. type switch (PSP MasterComp only)
Clicking the high shelf / high cut icon next to the “High” label switches to an alternate high
filter type. The shelf filter is set to + 12dB while a cut filter gives attenuation down to -15dB.
Low s.c. filter switch (PSP MicroComp only)
This is a three state switch. In the “
\_
” position a low frequency boost in the side chain
signal is added to provide low frequency pumping. In the “
--
” position provides a flat
response of the low frequency side chain filter. This is the default setup for most individual
tracks. The “
_/
” position attenuates low frequencies in order to make a complex signal
unmodulated by low frequencies. This setting is usable for vocal tracks to preserve from pop
reaction or during de-essing.
