Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide
For those of you who are experienced users of audio signal processing tools, we recommend that you
approach the API 2500 as you would any compressor which you are already familiar. Keep in mind that
its Thrust, Compression Type, and Knee parameters offer capabilities that transcend other, more
conventional, processors.
Newer users should explore the API 2500’s preset library and use its presets as starting points for their
own experimentation. These presets also serve as a valuable introduction to compression techniques in
general, and offer a glimpse into the workflow of professional audio engineers.
We encourage all users to experiment with the API 2500’s settings in order to better understand its
unique processing power.
