6. Gate Release. The release sets the rate at which the gate for the selected
channel closes. Gate-release times should typically be set so that the natural
decay of the instrument or vocal being gated is not affected. Shorter release
times help to clean up the noise in a signal but may cause “chattering“
with percussive instruments. Longer release times usually eliminate
chattering and should be set by listening carefully for the most natural
release of the signal. The release time can be set from 0.05 to 2 seconds.
7. Gate Expander button. UC Surface allows you to choose
between an expander and a noise gate for each channel or
output. By default, the Expander button will be enabled.
Power User Tip: In practice, expanders and noise gates are used almost
identically. The main difference is that an expander is smoother and more
gradual, so that it is easier to set the attack and release times correctly.
8. Gate Graph. This graph shows the point at which the gate
threshold affects the signal. You can either use this graph to adjust
the threshold or the dedicated threshold control (#2).

1. Compressor On/Off. Turns the compressor on and
off for the selected analog input channel.
2. Compressor Threshold. Sets the compressor threshold for the selected channel
or output bus. When the signal’s amplitude (level) exceeds the threshold
setting, the compressor engages. The threshold can be set from -56 to 0 dB.
3. Ratio. Sets the compression ratio (or slope) for the selected channel or output
bus. The ratio sets the compression slope, which is a function of the output
level versus the input level. For example, if you have the ratio set to 2:1, any
signal levels above the threshold setting will be compressed at a ratio of
2:1. This means that for every 2 dB of level increase above the threshold, the
compressor’s output will only increase 1 dB. The ratio can be set from 1:1 to 14:1.
4. Compressor Makeup Gain. Sets the amount of makeup gain for the selected
channel or output bus. When compressing a signal, gain reduction usually results
in an overall attenuation of level. The gain control allows you to restore this
loss in level and readjust the volume to the pre-compression level (if desired).
You can adjust Makeup Gain from 0 dB (no gain adjustment) to +28 dB.
5. Compressor Attack. Sets the compressor attack for the selected channel. Attack
sets the speed at which the compressor acts on the input signal. A slow attack
time (fully clockwise) allows the beginning component of a signal (commonly
referred to as the initial transient) to pass through, uncompressed, whereas a fast
attack time (fully counterclockwise) triggers compression immediately when a
signal exceeds the threshold. You can set the attack from 0.2 to 150 milliseconds.
