EQ
On/Off
Sets the EQ active or inactive.
Bass
Sets the amount of low frequency (80 Hz) increase (rotary knob right to 12
o'clock position) or decrease (rotary knob left to 12 o'clock position).
Mid
Sets the amount of mid frequency (as set by "Mid Freq") increase or decrease.
Mid Freq
Sets the center frequency (250 Hz to 5 kHz) for "Mid".
High
Sets the amount of high frequency (6 kHz) increase or decrease.
Compressor
The Compressor of each channel smoothes out dynamic changes of the signal so
to make it more consistent (simplified, lower signals become louder, while louder
signals become lower). A compressor is a somewhat complex device, we don't give
advice here how to operate it. Access one of the numerous sources in the internet
to learn compressors, or look at descriptions of the similar effect available in
Cubase/Nuendo. Compressors are often used for vocals so to get them more "in
the face".
On/Off
Sets the Compressor active or inactive.
Thresh (Threshold)
Sets the signal level at which compression starts. Set to lower values (left to
12 o'clock) for more compression.
Att (Attack)
Sets the amount of time that the compressor waits after a signal has crossed
the threshold level until it starts compression.
Rel (Release)
Sets the amount of time where the compressor gradually reduces
compression when the signal falls below the threshold level.
Gain
A compressor actually only ever decreases the level of the incoming signal.
To compensate for the overall signal loss, this gain control can be used to
increase the resulting level after compression (also called "makeup gain").
Thus, this also controls the overall level of the channel.
