PreSonus BlueMAX - Manual (Page 12)

2 SYNTH - Fast attack and release for synthesizer horn stabs and for bass lines played on a
synthesizer.
Threshold Ratio Attack Release
-11.9dB 1.8:1 0.002mS 85mS
3 ORCHESTRAL - Use this setting for string ‘pads’ and other types of synthesized orchestra
parts. It will decrease the overall dynamic range for easier placement in the mix.
Threshold Ratio Attack Release
-3.3dB 2.5:1 1.8mS 50mS
Stereo
1 STEREO LIMITER - Just as the name implies. A hard limiter setting (brick wall) ideal for
controlling level to the 2 track mixdown deck or stereo output.
Threshold Ratio Attack Release
-5.5dB 7.1:1 0.001mS 98mS
2 CONTOUR - A contoured setting for use on the stereo output to fatten up the mix.
Threshold Ratio Attack Release
-13.4dB 1.2:1 0.002mS 182mS
Effects
1 SQUEEZE
- Dynamic compression for solo work, especially electric guitar. It gives you
that glassy ‘tele/strat’ sound. A true classic.
Threshold Ratio Attack Release
-4.6dB 2.4:1 7.2mS 93mS
2 PUMP - Make the Blue Max ‘pump up the prime’. A setting for making the compressor
pump in a desirable way. This effect is good for snare drum to increase the length of the
transient by bringing the signal up after the initial spike. Very contemporary.
