4.1.7 OUTPUT MONITOR Section
TRIM dB Touch
Pad
This allows you to reduce the output level by up to 12dB. Dithering is applied after
the output gain control, so it may be necessary to reduce this value by a small
amount to avoid clipping.
WET/DRY Touch
Pad
This control enables you, if you want, to mix in some of the original input with the
output, rather like the Wet/Dry control on a reverb. The use of this is to allow you to
generate a very fat compressed sound, and then add a little of the original back in to
regain some dynamic character. This is particularly useful when operating the
Oxford SuprEsser as a basic compressor (ie. in ‘Wide/Wide’ mode — see Section
2.3 Advanced Operation, for more information).
At 100%, you hear only the post-dynamics signal; at 0% you hear only the input. At
50%, you hear an equal blend of the two. You will normally want this set to 100%.
Output
Level
Meter
The output meter is designed to give exactly 1dB per segment for the top 18dB of
dynamic range, and 2dB per segment thereafter. This gives a clear and intuitive
impression of the working headroom and dynamic range. There is a peak-hold
feature that holds the highest peak in the last two seconds, helping to give you a
better impression of the working dynamic range — the number of segments
between the peak and general level.
