Dynamics Gain Controls and Meters
Clip indicator
Input meter
Level controls (left) and meters (right) in the Dynamics section
Input and Output Gain Encoders
The Input and Output Gain encoders control the input gain and output gain for the current plug-in. The Auto indicator under
each encoder knob lights when the parameter is enabled for automation.
Input and Output Meters and Clip Indicator
The Input and Output meters show the input and output levels for the current plug-in. The Clip indicator lights when a clip is
reported by the plug-in, and can be cleared by pressing the Clear Clip switch in the Session Management section.
Gain Reduction Meters
The Gain Reduction meters show the amount of gain reduction for Compressor/Limiter functions (on the left) and Ex-
pander/Gate functions (on the right).
You can also display gain reduction metering for dynamics plug-ins directly on channel meters in Normal mode. See "Displaying
Dynamics Plug-in Gain Reduction on Channel Meters" on page 68.
