Using the Compressors

	Compression can be used to prevent signals from exceed-
	ing a preset level in order to avoid distortion, and to
	smooth out the levels of certain instruments or tracks. The
	AW2400 provides compression on the following tracks.
	• Input
16	• Track
	• Stereo Output
	• Bus Master
Pan,EQ,	• AUX Send Master
	• Effect Send Master
and	Compression can be controlled either via the knobs in the
	DYNAMICS screen or the physical controllers in the
Dynamics Processing	Selected Channel section.
