RELEASE
Release is similar to Attack in many ways, but refers instead to the speed with which the
compression effect is removed as a source signal falls back on its own so that it no longer
exceeds the Threshold.
GAIN
Naturally, compression impacts the overall output level of the source or output. The Gain
control allows you to compensate, bringing the post-compressor signal back to a comfortable
nominal range.
Hint: Different circumstances call for different Attack and Release strategies. For example,
much less aggressive settings could work nicely for vocals, but fail badly when applied to a
snare drum. Many websites provide suggestions on establishing the best compressor/limiter
settings for different environments.
13.5 PRESET BIN
Audio presets work just like their counterparts in the Media Players. Presets are a convenient
way to quickly store and recall audio steps and settings for different venues, productions, and
users.
Hint: When you roll the mouse to the edge of the screen, the very same Audio Preset bin appears
either at left (in External Audio) or at right in the Internal Audio tab. In other words, there is just
one uniform set of Audio presets, rather than one for each tab.
