3. Description of Controls
This section provides a summary of the ‘front panel’ controls you will encounter when using
the various sections of the Dynamics plug-in (the illustration below is of the Compressor
controls):
IN Buttons — toggle section contributions in and out for comparison purposes. Selecting IN
will also force ACCESS to that section’s controls.
ACCESS Buttons — accesses controls for that section.
INPUT and OUTPUT metering — provides a permanent display of overall input and
output levels.
Gain Transfer Display — provides a graphic display of the current overall gain transfer
curve.
Time Constant and Type Selector — this button toggles the compressor time constant
dependency laws between NORMAL, LINEAR and CLASSIC. The CLASSIC setting is a
subset of the exponential type with fixed time settings corresponding to a DBX 160 type
compressor.
