NOISE GATE (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This
effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
COMPRESSOR (selected by [C]/[D] buttons)
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level.
This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have widely varying dynamics. It effectively
“compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. For a maximum compression
effect, set RATIO to a high setting and adjust the OUT parameter for optimum volume.
TALK Page
The settings here are for your speech or announcements (NOT your singing performance), and are active when
the TALK (
) is set to ON. All indications and parameters (with the exception of TALK MIXING
below) are the same as in the VOCAL page. However, the settings are independent from those in the VOCAL
page.
