Operations 3 Chapter

Using the Limiter or Compressor

Use the limiter or compressor when inputting audio with large level differences. The limiter restricts the peak components of an audio signal with large level differences. It also compresses the sound exceeding a certain threshold volume so that the threshold level is not exceeded, thus preventing excess outputs.

The compressor gently compresses the level of audio at and above the threshold level, thus smoothing out an audio signal with large level differences.

1 Press the ACCESS button in the same column as the channel fader to which the audio you want to adjust is assigned.

2 1 In the top menu, select [Limiter/Compressor]; 2 select [Limiter] or [Compressor], and confirm; 3 with the threshold slider set the level at which the limiter or compressor takes effect.

Note

A gain reduction meter appears to the right of the menu, and shows the current compression.
