Preset dynamics library entries

Table 5.4: Compressor/Expander preset library entries

modules only have the compressor/expander jump
keys.
These buttons are labeled
respectively.
When pressed, the appropriate library screen is
brought up, where the current settings can be stored
for future use, or preset or previously-stored settings
can be recalled for use in the project.
As always, there are no hard and fast rules as to what
"works". Feel free to use the settings in a variety of
contexts and change them as seems appropriate to
you.

Compressor/expander library entries

these settings for the compressor/expander either "as
is" or edit them to your needs and store them as part
of the project.
