Electric Guitar. This is a setting for "crunch" electric rhythm
guitar. A slow attack helps to get the electric rhythm guitar "up
close and personal" and gives punch to your crunch.
Threshold Ratio
-0.1 dB 2.4:1
Piano. This is a special setting for an even level across the keyboard. It is
designed to help even up the top and bottom of an acoustic piano. In other
words, it helps the left hand to be heard along with the right hand.
Threshold Ratio
-10.8 dB 1.9:1
Synth. The fast attack and release on this setting can be used for
synthesizer horn stabs or for bass lines played on a synthesizer.
Threshold Ratio
-11.9 dB 1.8:1
Orchestral. Use this setting for string pads and other types of synthesized orchestra
parts. It will decrease the overall dynamic range for easier placement in the mix.
Threshold Ratio
3.3 dB 2.5:1
Stereo Limiter. Just as the name implies, this is a hard limiter, or "brickwall, " setting—
ideal for controlling the level to a two-track mixdown deck or stereo output.
Threshold Ratio
5.5 dB 7.1:1
Contour. This setting fattens up the main mix.
Threshold Ratio
-13.4 dB 1.2:1
Squeeze. This is dynamic compression for solo work, especially electric
guitar. It gives you that glassy "Tele/Strat" sound. It is a true classic.
Threshold Ratio
-4.6 dB 2.4:1
Pump. This is a setting for making the compressor "pump" in a desirable
way. This effect is good for snare drums to increase the length of
the transient by bringing the signal up after the initial spike.
Threshold Ratio
0 dB 1.9:1
