UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 154 - Chapter 16: Precision Buss Compressor
Gain Reduction
Meter
The Gain Reduction meter dis-
plays the amount of gain re-
duction occurring within the
compressor.
More blue bars moving to the left indicate more gain reduction is occurring.
The meter range is from -16dB to 0dB. Signal peaks are held for 3 seconds
before resetting.
Power The Power switch determines whether the plug-in is active.
Click the toggle button or the UA logo to change the state.
When the Power switch is in the Off position, plug-in process-
ing is disabled and UAD DSP usage is reduced. When the
plug-in is bypassed with this switch (but not by the host bypass), the I/O
meters and the Input Level knob remain active.
Extra Presets
Extra presets for the UAD Precision Buss Compressor that are not in the factory
bank can be downloaded from our website. These presets replicate all the
fixed attack and release setting combinations that are found on large console
VCA-style compressors. The extra presets can be found here:
