Compressor (D zone)
For the outputs, the dynamic section (D zone) only has a compressor in the output
channel signal path. As the D zone is also used for the gate on the input channels,
some controls may be redundant.
The output channel compressor has five styles — corrective, adaptive, creative, vintage
and shimmer — which are selectable via the MODE button. Each has a distinctive
appearance in the GUI channel strip. While the dynamic section is addressing the
compressor, all of its controls are enabled except the hold control knob.
For details of the compressor graph, see “About the compressor graph” on page 262.
The side chain is similar to the one used for the input channels, see “Side chain” on
page 265.
Item Description

solo bus. This side chain listen LED indicator illuminates to warn you that soloed
material is from the side chain, and not the main channel.
3 threshold control knob, sets the signal level above which gain reduction starts to be
applied. Range is from -50dBu to +25dBu.
