Manual

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Rough Rider Pro, Audio Damage's multi-band compressor plug-in. Rough Rider Pro
is a three-band compressor built from three of our successful (and free) compressor, Rough Rider. Although
Rough Rider Pro has precise controls that permit subtle control of signals, it excels at extreme effects. Its
three-band crossover can be used like a DJ’s 3-band EQ for drastic tonal control. Each compressor offers
attack times down to near-instant and compression ratios up to 1000:1 for complete obliteration of dynamics.
If one compressor isn’t enough, Rough Rider Pro’s “series” mode strings together the three compressors,
allowing each to stomp on your signal in its own way.
Compressors can be difficult audio tools to use effectively, particularly for beginners. This manual will not
attempt to explain the finer points of how to use (or misuse) compressors in general, and will focus only on
Rough Rider Pro’s details. You might wish to consult the following online articles if you’re unfamiliar with
compressors:
