Eddie Kramer PIE Compressor Plug-In User Guide

Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide
The Kramer
PIE offers 3 main compression controls:
•
Use the Threshold control to control
the level at
which the compressor activates, beginning
attenuation. Watch the VU meter needle to
determine when attenuat
ion begins,
and adjust your
settings a
c
cordingly.
•
Use the Compression Ratio control to set the am
ount
of gain change that will be applied to
signal
overshooting the threshold.
•
Use the Decay Time control to set th
e speed at
which the compressor will return to u
nity gain when
the signal fa
lls below the threshold. F
aster decay
times will pr
oduce louder sound with
more harmonic
distortion;
slower decays will result i
n a smoother
sound with less loudness and distortion.
•
Use the Output gain control to set th
e level that you
wish to hear. This will no
t affect the compression,
rather just the output level.
