controls and can be used to adjust the curve in a visual way, rather than setting
them with the standard controls. In dual-compressor mode you will see rep-
resentations of both compressors’ settings, with the one you’re currently in high-
lighted.
Gain Reduction Trace
The Gain Reduction Trace display is a scrolling meter that displays the incom-
ing signal’s waveform with a superimposed curve illustrating the amount of gain
reduction taking place in real-time. The Gain Trace can help you to set attack
and release controls appropriately and monitor the envelope of gain reduction
and addition.
Mini-spectrum Display
Each module of Nectar features a display of the frequency spectrum at the top
for reference while making changes to your audio within the module. The Com-
pressor’s mini-spectrum features the second compressor’s post filter mentioned
above.
Tracking vs. Mixing Mode
In Mixing Mode, Nectar’s Compressor module will make use of lookahead in
order to provide the most transparent results. However, this process requires a
small amount of latency (delay). In Tracking Mode the Compressor will use very
little latency to assist in tracking, but will be less transparent.
