Input dynamics processing (D zone)

This section deals with assigning compressor and gate dynamics processors using the

controls in the input channel strip’s D zone.

To set up a compressor/limiter

Use the D-zone’s controls to apply compression. There are four compressors available,

corrective, adaptive, creative and vintage, with each having the option of hard knee,

medium knee and soft knee.

1 In the required input fast strip, press ON in the comp section to switch the compressor on.

2 Press the quick access button in the comp section to select the compressor section.

3 Apply processing by using the controls in D-zone, for example, adjust the attack and release. See “Compressor

(D zone)” on page 48. You could set up a limiter by using a high threshold and a steep ratio (greater than 5:1).

4 Audition different algorithms (hard knee, medium knee and soft knee) using the KNEE button.

5 Try different compressor types (corrective, adaptive, creative and vintage) using the MODE button.
