261 HD96-24-CC-TP User Manual
Adaptive mode (exponential RMS - accurate)
This is a root-mean-square (RMS) sensing compressor with exponential attack and release. The RMS averaging process interacts with the attack and release to produce
a very adaptive envelope character. This allows faster attacks on large (over-threshold) signal changes and produces slower attacks on small signal changes, regardless
of attack time setting. It is also sonically accurate and works well for both compression and limiting of vocals and many other sources.
Creative mode (linear peak - slow)
This is a peak sensing compressor with linear (dB rate) attack and second order release. The compressor is very transparent, providing some dynamic control but
without unduly aecting the intentional dynamic content of the source material. The linear attack provides a constant rate of attack, such that large changes in source
signal level take longer to become compressed than smaller changes. Adding soft knee noticeably delays these attacks, which can be particularly useful on drums
where compression can be applied to emphasize transients giving more punch while retaining a good deal of artistic dynamic range from the drummer.
The compressor normally sounds best with slower attack time settings, when it can be used on dicult instruments, such as the acoustic guitar, with relatively fast
release to keep equal perceived loudness within a mix without producing excessive utter or distortion.
