Gain Reduction Meter and Output Meter

In the "F2 (M COMP)" screen, the "Gain Reduction Meter" and
the "Output Meter" are displayed.
The "gain reduction meter" shows the change in level (dB)
produced by the master compressor.
The "output meter" shows the output level following the
master compressor and EQ.
Adjust the master compressor's "Gain" so that the output
meter does not exceed 0 dB (i.e., so that it does not clip).
fig.04-012-mastercomp.eps_70
The output meter shows only the level of the output
signal from the MASTER OUT jacks and DIGITAL OUT
jack. It does not show the level of the output signal from
the PHONES jack or the DIRECT OUT jacks.
