Using track-specific compressors and equalizers
Section 2
Adjusting the sound of
compressors and equalizers
The sound of compressors and equalizers can even be
adjusted during playback so that you can listen to the
results and choose the best settings for your tracks.

Adjusting a compressor

Operation; p. 47).

the sound.
THRESHOLD
-48 dB–0 dB
Adjust this parameter to match the input signal. Compression
will be applied to input levels in excess of this level. The smaller
the value set here, the lower the level at which the compressor
kicks in.
will be applied to input levels in excess of this level. The smaller
the value set here, the lower the level at which the compressor
kicks in.
RATIO
2.0: 1–40.0: 1, INF: 1
This adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios produce a
stronger compression effect.
stronger compression effect.
ATTACK
0–100
This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the
compression ratio set by “Ratio” to be reached once the input
level exceeds the set threshold level and compression begins.
The smaller the value set here, the more rapidly compression
will be applied.

The smaller the value set here, the more rapidly compression
will be applied.
RELEASE
0–100
This adjusts the time it takes for compression to be removed
once the signal level drops below the threshold. Lower values
cause the compression to be released more rapidly, making it
easier to distinguish the sound from successively played
strings.

KNEE
SOFT, MEDIUM, HARD
This parameter affects the way in which compression is applied
(i.e., the knee) in the vicinity of the threshold.
(i.e., the knee) in the vicinity of the threshold.
SOFT:
With this knee setting, compression is applied gently and is
gradually increased as the level of the audio signal approaches
the threshold.

MEDIUM:
With this knee setting, compression is applied a little gently and
is a little gradually increased as the level of the audio signal
approaches the threshold.
is a little gradually increased as the level of the audio signal
approaches the threshold.
HARD:
With this knee setting, no compression whatsoever is applied
until the level of the audio signal reaches the threshold, and
once the threshold has been crossed, compression will be
applied fully in accordance with the ratio setting.
