Using The Compressor - Yamaha EMX5 Owner's Manual

Quick Start Guide

Using the Compressor

When the compressor is applied to vocals, it evens out the input level, reducing the
level of loud passages and bringing up softer passages. It also makes each sound
more distinct, enabling the listener to better understand the performer's singing.
1.
Adjust the [COMP] controls until you get the desired sound for channels you
wish to add compression.
Turn the control to the right to increase the level of compression. Avoid setting the value too high, as too
much compression may lead to feedback.
Common Compressor Applications
In addition to vocals, the compressor can be used to enhance the sound of
instruments such as guitars, bass guitars, and drums.
