D3 Parameters
Input Level
Input Level attenuates signal input level to the
compressor or limiter. The range of this control is
from –30 dB to 0 dB.
When you use the stereo version of the D3 plug-in,
each channel has its own separate Input Level
knob. To adjust input levels for both channels si-
multaneously, Shift-drag. Alt-Shift-clicking (Win-
dows) or Option-Shift clicking (Mac) either Input
Level knob resets both channels to 0 dB.
In fields that support values in kilohertz, typ-
ing “k” after a number value will multiply the
value by 1,000. For example, type “8k” to en-
ter a value of 8,000.
To move forward through the different con-
trol fields, press the Tab key. To move back-
ward, press Shift+Tab.
