Detailed Settings for Each Function
Making the System Compressor
Settings (System Compressor)
This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the nal
output.
With separate settings for the high-frequency range, midrange,
and low-frequency range, this reduces inconsistencies in volume
levels by compressing the sound when the volume exceeds a preset
volume level.
