RELEASE
Five switchable ranges 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 seconds and ʻ Auto ʼ .
(With Auto selected, the release time is dependant upon the
duration of signal peaks).
Determines the time it takes for the compressor module to
ʻ recover ʼ , once the incoming signal level is becoming lower.
MAKE-UP
Level compensation to compensate for compressor action,
continuously variable from –5dB to +15dB.
COMPRESSOR IN
Switches the compressor IN/OUT of the signal path. This
Button is NOT connected to the Bypass Button in the Top bar
and inside the Mixer little Window, since even when the
COMPRESSOR switch is in off position the AUTOFADER still
works.
SC IN (only active in SC Version)
In non pressed state the compressor module is driven by the
main stereo channel signal(s), whereby the loudest L/R
signal wins.
In pressed state (SC IN illuminated) the external (mono or stereo) signal
applied to the SC INPUT drives the compressor stage.
This opens up the possibility to use the plug-in as a ʻ ducker ʼ (for audio-follow
applications) or, with external EQ, as a ʻ deesser ʼ .
AUTOFADE and RATE
The final part of the compressor is the AUTOFADE switch
and the associated RATE rotary control which provides a
timed fade down or up with a fade time of 1 to 60 seconds.
Pressing the switch will fade out the audio in the time set with
RATE, pressing the switch again will fade the audio back up
at the same rate – however the fade time can be adjusted
with RATE at any time (including when a fade is in progress).
The AUTOFADE switch will be illuminated whilst the signal is
fading down (so the button appears to be pressed).
Tip: During Fade Out you can always press the button to Fade In again.
Once the Fade Out is done and the level has reached -Infinity, the
button illumination turns red and remains in pressed state.
At this stage, you will not hear ANY signal on the Output of
Bus Compressor!
Pressing the Button again will bring the audio signal back, during
Fade In, the button will appear non pressed but will be illuminated
with an orange light until the signal has returned to unity gain.
CTRL + Double Click on the Auto Fade Button always resets the
button to normal (Off) state, no matter if any Fade In or Out was
active.
The status of the Auto Fade button is NOT saved with a Preset.
Tip: The Auto Fade produces very smooth Fades. Since both Rate and the AF Button
Status can be dynamically automated, the Auto Fade Section provides a huge
potential for creative Level Manipulation that always sounds very smooth.
