Output Gain

Output Gain controls the signal level that is output from the
plug-in. The available range is ±20 dB.

Generally speaking, adjust the Output control after the de-
sired amount of compression is achieved with the Threshold
and Compression controls. Output does not affect the
amount of compression.

Meter Buttons

The Meter buttons define the mode of the VU Meter.
The buttons do not change the sound of the signal
processor. The active button has a darker appear-
ance when compared to the inactive buttons.

VU Meter

When set to Input, the VU Meter indicates the
plug-in input level in dB. When set to Output,
the VU Meter indicates the plug-in output level
in dB. When set to Gain Change, the VU Meter
indicates the amount of Gain Reduction in dB.

Power

The Power switch determines whether the plug-in is active. Click the
button to toggle the state. When the Power switch is in the Off
(lighter) position, plug-in processing is disabled and UAD DSP us-
age is reduced (load is not reduced if UAD-2 DSP LoadLock is en-

abled).
