Then, one by one, raise and lower each slider, listening care- fully to the effect of each.

Page 14: About Compression
About Compression ∞ COMPRESSION VX3500 Compression control and LED The dynamic range of a sound is the difference between its loudest and softest points. For example, as you play your bass, you’ll probably find that some notes (for example, notes played on the upper frets of the lowest string) are consider- ably louder than others. -
