Input dynamics processing (D zone)
Set up compressor and gate dynamics processors using the controls in the input channel strip’s D zone.
There are four compressors available, corrective, adaptive, creative and vintage, each with the option of hard knee, medium knee and soft knee (see “Compressor
envelope modes” in Appendix A).
>> To set up a compressor/limiter
1. In an input fast strip, press the compressor quick access button in the comp
section. This will select the channel and assign its compressor processing
area to the GUI channel strip.
2. In the comp section, press ON to switch the compressor in.
3. In the D zone, operate the attack, ratio/range (ratio), release, threshold
and make up controls to apply processing (see “Compressor” in Appendix
K). You could also set up a limiter by using a high threshold and a steep ratio
(greater than 5:1).
The hold control knob has no Move to just before Step 5 it is only used for
the gate.
4. Press KNEE to audition the dierent algorithms (hard knee, medium knee
and soft knee as shown below).
5. Press MODE to try dierent compressor types
(corrective, adaptive, creative and vintage).
For example, creative shown right.
>> To set up a gate
1. In an input fast strip, press the gate quick access button in the gate section.
This will select the channel and assign its gate processing area to the GUI
channel strip.
2. In the gate section, press ON to switch the gate in.
3. In the D zone, operate the attack, ratio/range (range), release,
threshold and hold controls to apply processing (see “Gate” in chapter 30).
The make up control knob has no eect because it is only used for the
compressor.
Output processing
Apart from the returns, which are similar to the input channel EQ, the outputs
have a six-band PEQ with shelving modes on bands 1, 2 and 6. They also have the
option of using a GEQ, which is accessed via the GEQ button in their EQ processing
areas.
The outputs (except returns) have the same four compressor modes as the input
channels, but with the addition of a shimmer mode.
