Dynamics (D zone)
The dynamic section — or D zone — controls two dynamic devices present in the input
channel signal path, that is, the compressor and gate. While most D zone controls are
shared between the two dynamic devices, some are device-specific. The GUI treats
both devices independently, the processing area of the one currently displayed in the
channel strip being the one currently selected to the D zone. Swapping between the
two dynamic devices can be done via an input fast strip, the D zone or the GUI (see
Chapter 7 "Navigation" on page 59). Operating the dynamic device’s ON button
activates the device, but also affects the audio.
You can select the source of both the compressor and gate, and also use the side chain
for both. For side chain details, see “Side chain” on page 296.
Compressor
The input channel compressor has four styles — corrective, adaptive, creative and
vintage — 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.
