Comp PreDelay 0ms to 100ms Determines how long it takes before the compressor is
activated.
Comp Ratio 1.0:1 to INF:1 Sets the amount of compression. The range is based on
decibels (dB) above the threshold. If set to 4:1 for
example, it will allow 1 dB increase in output level for
every 4 dB increase in input level. When set to infinity, it
acts as a limiter.
Comp Attack 50us to 10.0s Determines the time after the initial signal has been
detected and before the compression takes affect.
Comp Release 50us to 10.0s Determines how long it takes for the compression to be
fully deactivated after the input signal drops below the
threshold level. This is generally set longer than the
attack time.
Comp Thresh -96.0dB to 0.0dB Sets the threshold level. Signals that exceed this level
will be compressed, while signals that are below will be
unaffected. To turn off the compressor, set the level to
+00 dB.
Comp Output Off, -49.5dB to +48dB This parameter boosts or cuts the compressed signal
level.
Gate Thresh -96.0dB to 0.0dB Sets the upper threshold level at which the noise gate
passes the audio.
Gate Hysteresis 0dB to 48dB Sets the lower threshold level relative to Gate Thresh,
below which the noise gate shuts off the audio.
Gate Attack 50us to 10.0s Determines the time after the initial signal has been
detected for the gate to occur.
Gate Release 50us to 10.0s This parameter sets the amount of time after the signal
has elapsed for the noise gate to shut down. For a longer
sustain, set this parameter higher.
Gate Hold 50us to 10.0s This is the detection sustain time in the ADSRÑit
determines how long the gate will last.

EQ Input Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Adjusts the input level trim to the EQs to eliminate the
possibility of clipping boosted signals.
LoShelf Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Sets the center of the low frequency EQ.
LoShelf Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this low
frequency shelf.
Mid 1 Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Sets the center of the mid frequency parametric.
Mid 1 Q 1.0 to 40.0 This parameter is a bandwidth control that determines
the width of the resonant peak at the center frequency
band. This parameter is equal to the cutoff frequency
divided by the bandwidth. By raising the value, you can
produce a narrower bandwidth.
Mid 1 Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this mid
frequency band.
Mid 2 Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Identical to the Mid 1 Fc parameter, and is used to
control different bandwidths within the mid range.
Mid 2 Q 1.0 to 40.0 Identical to the Mid 1 Q parameter, and is used to
control different bandwidths within the mid range.
Mid 2 Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Identical to the Mid 1 Gain parameter, and is used to
control different bandwidths within the mid range.
HiShelf Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Sets the center frequency of the high frequency shelf.
HiShelf Gain Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to this high
frequency shelf.
EQ Output Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Controls the gain coming out of the parametric EQ.
Dry Blend Full Dry to Full Wet Controls the amount of the dry signal.
