To add a second filter (i.e. PEQ): enable the filter 2, select the PEQ filter type, its gain and
central frequency, then set its Q factor.

to MZ 8060.

COMPRESSOR

COMPRESSOR
The compressor does not modify a signal having a level lower than the predetermined
threshold and compresses a signal with higher level.
To access its parameters (of a single input), click EDIT on the respective channel and
select the DSP window.
THRESHOLD and RATIO values can be adjusted either by moving the respective faders or
dragging (with the mouse) the red points in the graph.
THRESHOLD: adjusts the level above which the compressor compresses the signal.
OUT GAIN: adjusts the output gain (useful to minimize the signal attenuation due to
compression).
Attack: adjusts the compressor attack time.
Release: adjusts the compressor release time.
Ratio: sets the ratio between the original signal (above the threshold) and the
compressor output.
For example: if ratio is 2:1, a signal that exceeds the threshold of 2 dB will be compressed
to 1 dB (above the threshold).
Indicatively: 2:1 ratio is suitable for voice, from 2:1 to 4:1 for musical instruments.
A compressor having a ratio higher than 10:1 operates as a limiter.
A 1:1 ratio is an invalid setting, as it does not compress at all.
Enable: toggles the compressor (keep it on when using).
