COMPRESSOR | 7
MANUAL ATTACK / RELEASE
Feature: By default, the unit is set to
auto attack / release mode. Engaging this button will override the auto attack / release.
Benefit: The
auto attack / release has a preset timing of approximately 30 milliseconds for both. Engaging the button will allow
the use of the attack and release knobs. The green LED between the knobs will also light, reminding you that they are
activated.
Tip:
, Have a pesky backseat producer riding you like a hobby horse? Place the compressor in auto attack / release and allow
them to make the manual and completely ineffective adjustments to their heart’s content.
