T
he Bleed controls, located at the bottom of the X-Comp plug-in window, allow you to remove the compressor’s effect from
h
igh and low frequencies. Frequencies outside the mid-band bypass the compressor and are recombined with the compressed
s
ignal at the output. Note that the bypassed signal is not affected by the Make up gain.
The frequencies and slope of the bleed-band filters are indicated either side of the graph; LF to the left
and HF to the right. The slope is measured in percentage.
The bleed bands can be adjusted by clicking on the values in the displays and
dragging up and right in the usual way. Alternatively, they can be adjusted directly
using the nodes in the display – brown for low frequencies and blue for high
frequencies. Move the nodes horizontally to control frequency and vertically to
control percentage
Auditioning Bleed Bands
To listen to the bleed bands on their own, press the Defeat button, located below the Make up gain.
This mutes the compressed signal, so only the bypass portion of the signal is heard.
