AM-55 / Sep 2015
A P P E N D I C E S
more open sound in any processor there is usually some sacrifice in loudness. Fortunately
the AM-55 is much more forgiving in this regard and most users have an easier time
being loud with the AM-55 while still being quite clean and open. Operating the Leveller
and Compressor with slower attack and release times and making some minor tradeoffs
in loudness will push perceived quality off the charts while going a long way towards
achieving an open and easy to listen to sound. When this is the target sound, starting
with one of our Classical or Jazz presets and then “turning things up” is a good way
to approach achieving this sound. These presets are surprisingly competitive without
sounding “processed.”
