Other Controls
The interface elements that are not directly contained within the compressor or
limiter are detailed below.
Output Gain
This control is a software-only addition not found on the original hardware. It
is an overall makeup gain stage at the output of the plug-in to compensate for
reduced levels as a result of compression and/or limiting. The available
range is –2 to +20 in 1 dB increments.
Gain Reduction
Meters
The Gain Reduction Meters indicate the amount of gain reduction that is oc-
curring in dB. There is one meter for each channel. The gain reduction dis-
played is the total reduction of the limiter plus the compressor.
Note:
The meter indicator moves farther to the right as more gain reduction is
occurring. This meter behavior is opposite that of many compressors.
Link
This switch is a software-only addition that allows the two sets of controls for
each channel to be linked for ease of operation when both channels require
the same values, or unlinked when dual-mono operation is desired. The Link
parameter is stored within presets and can be accessed via automation.
Unlink
When set to unlink (up position), the controls for channels one and two are
completely independent. Unlink is generally used in mono mode. When un-
linked, automation data is written and read by each channel separately.
Note:
When unlink is switched to link, channel 1 controls are copied to chan-
nel 2. Control offsets between channels are lost in this case.
