Mackie Stereo and Mono Side chain Compressor User Manual

The Main Screen is made up of two sections:

• Global 

Controls

• 

Compressor Controls and Contour Edit 
Screen

The Global Controls section includes the Lock 
and Hide buttons, Preset up/down buttons, Pre-
set title window, Active, Menu, and Mem A/B 
buttons.

The Compressor Controls section includes most 
of the controls and readouts. You can use your 
mouse to move the sliders left or right, or to se-
lect nodes with the Node Selector knob.

The Key Solo button allows you to listen to the 
key input on its own.

The Contour Edit Screen shows a graphi-
cal interface of the compressor contour, and 
meters showing input and output levels and 
gain reduction. The compressor contour can 
be changed by grabbing the nodes and moving 
them around.

These sections are described in the next few 
pages.
