G-WARE SOFTWARE • COMPRESSOR CONFIGURATION

Compressor Setup Window
To enable the compressor, select Enable Compressor.
If you wish to assign this compressor to a compressor group, slide the Group
control to the appropriate group. If you don’t want to assign this compressor to a
group, select None.
When you assign a compressor to a compressor group—such as a group of three,
configured for bass, midrange, and treble—the compressors will monitor each
other. When one compressor channel compresses and is in a group with other
compressor buses, all compressors in the group compress together. When
configured properly, this results in a smooth audio response throughout the
frequency range, with no bass, midrange, or treble dropouts. A given compressor
group must be configured for a single XAP 800 unit; a group cannot use
compressors from multiple XAP 800 units.
Next, adjust the gain of the compressor with the Gain slide control or by using
the
▲ and ▼ buttons. Note how the graph reflects the input/output decibel
levels with the gain setting you select.
The Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release controls are for configuring how the
compressor engages and disengages within the processor. Following are
descriptions of each control.
Compressors and
compressor
groups can be
established only within the
XAP 800 unit being config-
ured, i.e., they cannot be
configured from a single
point across multiple units.
