MASTERING
Explanation of each area
(Compressor)
This reduces the output level when the input level
exceeds a specified value.
1. Block name (Compressor)
Displays the compressor parameters.
2. Switch
Switches the compressor block on/off.
If you press [F5 (Sw On/Off)], turn effect block
switch on/off.
Range: Off, On
3. Band split
You can apply the compressor independently to the
high, mid, and low-frequency bands.
Band Explanation
Parameters for the high-frequency band
High
compressor
Parameters for the mid-frequency band
Mid

Parameters for the low-frequency band
Low
compressor
4. Threshold
Specifies the volume at which the compressor starts
to apply.
Range: -24~0 dB
5. Ratio
Specifies the compression ratio (source signal:output
signal) of the compressor. This is the proportion by
which the output will be reduced when the input
level exceeds the value of the Threshold parameter.
Range: 1:1.00~1:16.0, 1:INF
6. Attack
This is the Attack Time parameter for the compressor.
It specifies the time from when the volume exceeds
the value of the Threshold parameter until
compression begins.
Range: 0~100 ms
348
7. Release
This is the Release Time parameter for the
compressor. It specifies the time from when the
volume falls below the value of the Threshold
parameter until compression stops.
Range: 50~5000 ms
• According to the settings of the Threshold
parameter and Ratio parameter, the level is
automatically adjusted to produce the optimal
output.
• Since longer settings of the Attack parameter may
produce distortion, 6 dB of headroom is provided
on the output. Adjust the Level parameter of the
Mixer block if necessary.
