threshold.
R The Attack control determines the speed with which the Input AGC acts to reduce audio above
threshold. Lower settings represent slower attack speeds and allow more audio to pass
unprocessed by the Input AGC into subsequent processing stages. Higher settings result in faster
attack speeds and allow less unprocessed audio to enter subsequent sections. Because all of
