A threshold slider next to the fader adjusts the threshold of the compressor, a “speed” knob, a knob for make-up gain, and a Mode selec- tor (“L”). The mode may be one of 3 selections: Level, Compress, or Limit. These modes accommo- date the most common compression techniques. The bar to the right of the threshold slider shows gain reduction in red.
