Displaying Dynamics Plug-in Gain
Reduction on Channel Meters
You can display gain reduction metering for dynamics
plug-ins directly on channel meters in Normal mode. When
this metering mode is active, the D-Control channel meters
show both track level and compressor gain reduction when
you display the plug-in’s parameters on the channel encoders.
Mono Tracks When a mono track is displayed on a D-Control
channel strip, the channel’s left meter shows track level, and
the channel’s right meter shows plug-in gain reduction.
Multichannel Tracks When a multichannel track is displayed
on a D-Control channel strip, the channel’s left meter shows
the first channel’s level, and the channel’s right meter shows
gain reduction.
Center Meter Display When the 8-channel center meters on
the D-Control Main Unit is set to display levels for the focused
track, the center meters show levels for up to two output chan-
nels, plus input, output, gain reduction, and downward ex-
pansion for a dynamics plug-in on the focused track.
To display dynamics plug-in gain reduction on channel meters:
1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Meter switch.
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “GRChan” to turn on
display of gain reduction.
3 Press the Meter switch to exit.
4 On a channel with a dynamics plug-in, press the Dynamics
switch in the Channel Strip Display controls to display the
plug-in’s parameters on the channel strip encoders.
The dynamics plug-in gain reduction is displayed in the chan-
nel’s right meter, from the top down.
To display dynamics plug-in gain reduction on the center meters:
1 In the Soft Keys section, press the Meter Prefs 1 switch.
2 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “CtrMtr” to toggle the
display to “Track.”
3 Press the Soft Key that corresponds to “GRChan” to turn on
display of gain reduction.
4 Press the Meter Prefs 1 switch to exit.
5 Focus a channel with a dynamics plug-in on the Focus
Channel Strip.
6 Press the Dynamics switch in the Focus Channel Strip Dis-
play controls to display the plug-in’s parameters on the Focus
Channel Strip encoders.
The dynamics plug-in input level, output level, gain reduc-
tion, and downward expansion are displayed in the rightmost
center meters, from the top down.
