smooth out the levels of certain instruments or tracks. The

AW2400 provides compression on the following tracks.

• Input

•Track

• Stereo Output

• Bus Master

•AUX Send Master

• Effect Send Master

Compression can be controlled either via the knobs in the

DYNAMICS screen or the physical controllers in the

Selected Channel section.
