4.2 Advanced Screen Controls
4 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
SOFT KNEE Button
This control allows for a gradual onset of gain reduction as the signal level
approaches the threshold level, rather than a sudden onset of gain reduction when
the signal level actually hits the threshold.
The larger the value set here (in 5dB steps up to 20dB), the earlier the onset of gain
reduction prior to reaching the threshold. For general frequency specific
compression work, this control allows for more natural compression, rather than
brick-wall limiting.
10 dB Soft Ratio
Threshold Section
MAKEUP Touch Pad
This defines how much gain is applied after compression. Makeup is useful in cases
where you want to bring the background level up within a specific frequency band,
but want the peaks to stay where they are.
