TASCAM SS-R1
Applying the compressor while recording
You can apply the SS-R1’s built-in compressor to the
recording source while you record.
A compressor is an effect that holds down peaks in the
audio, making the overall level more consistent and more
listenable.
You’ll use the menu to turn the compressor on/off (for
details on menu operations, refer to “Operations in the
menu screens” on page 16).
