The LED meters indicate PPM values. With its fast rise time and relatively slow fallback
time, PPM metering is excellent for reading fast, transient sounds and will allow much
better detection of clips compared to RMS metering.

In the Compressor section, there is an accurate gain reduction meter. The further down
the series of LEDs the meter moves, the more gain you are losing by the compression
process.

In the Limiter section, there is a limiting meter. This LED Meter gives
feedback of the applied limiting. The more LEDs that light up, the more limiting
is applied to the signal.

rounds off the edges of the clipped wave form, making the sound easier to listen to.
