reduction curve changes abruptly at the threshold level. When set to soft, the gain reduction curve changes
gently as it transitions to the nal ratio amount.
Modern Compressor Meters
These three meters show the input level, amount of gain reduction and output level. The input and output
meters range from –80 dBFS to 0 dBFS. The reduction meter of the compressor ranges from 0 to 20 dB.
Mono metering is displayed for inputs and outputs on unlinked channels and stereo metering is displayed
for inputs and outputs on linked channels.
