Stereo dynamics

The stereo bus has a stereo dynamics processor (compres- sor or expander) available.

1With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the SELECT key.

The STEREO DYNAMICS screen appears.

2Press the YES/ENTER key. The DYNAMICS

LIBRARY screen appears.

3Use the Ó/Á cursor keys to select preset setting (PRESET) or the user setting (USER).

The PRESET category contains factory preset settings, while USER can be used to save and recall custom settings.

4Use the dial to select library entries

5Press YES/ENTER to load the entry.

The STEREO DYNAMICS screen reappears, and the selected preset parameters appear.

6Use the cursor keys and dial to select and adjust the parameters for the effect. Note that the last param- eter is an on/off switch. When set to off, the dynam- ics processor is bypassed.

NOTE

The stereo dynamics and mastering compressor (see page 71) are not compatible.

Stereo fader

Press the STEREO key to open the screen below.

As with the channel fader screen, the on-screen fader can- not be used to make adjustments. Also note that the inter- nal fader value and the top panel physical fader position may not correspond (see “Faders” on page 32).

In this case, the LVL value corresponds to the physical fader level, and INT gives the internal virtual fader value (as marked by the triangular symbol beside the on-screen fader).

In both cases, 0 is full cut, 127 is full up, and 100 is the unity gain value.
