Left/Right (Stereo) Overheads. The low ratio and threshold in this
setting gives a "fat" contour to even out the sound from overhead
drum mics. Low end is increased, and the overall sound is more
present and less ambient. You get more "boom" and less "room. "
Threshold
-13.7 dB
Electric Bass. The fast attack and slow release in this setting will tighten
up the electric bass and give you control for a more consistent level.
Threshold
-4.4 dB
Acoustic Guitar. This setting accentuates the attack of the
acoustic guitar and helps maintain an even signal level, keeping
the acoustic guitar from disappearing in the track.
Threshold
-6.3 dB
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
-0.1 dB
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
-10.8 dB
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
-11.9 dB
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
