In most cases, the Sensitivity LED indicates that your levels hit the processor in a way that will give you the intended output result. However, it’s important to keep in mind that optimal results may be achieved even when the Sensitivity LED does not display “optimal” levels (yellow). Depending on your program material, “good” levels (green) might be best-suited to your needs; in other cases, “very hot” levels (red) might provide the most appropriate processing.
Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide • Insert the EKramer FX plug-in on the track you wish to process. • Choose the FX type you want to hear. • Adjust the Sensitivity control until you achieve proper levels, as indicated by the Sensitivity LED. • Adjust the various controls to shape your sound. • After setting all parameters, check to make sure the Sensitivity LED indicates proper levels. If it indicates excessive levels, make the necessary adjustments.
