'''Using compressor/gate functions'''
'''Using compressor/gate functions'''
Line 99: Line 101:


The threshold is the most important control on any compressor, in my opinion. Careful adjustment of this is super important. You need to make sure you are compressing the parts of the instrument that you want to compress (peaks, 20% of the time, 100% of the time etc.)

== Can I use more than one compressor function ==
;Question: Can you add more than one effect on a given channel under the "comp/gate" channel parameter on the rotary dial?
The is one compressor per channel, and it can do only one function at a time (compressor, limiter, noise gate, de-esser, kickgate). For most signal sources, this should not be a limitation as most of the applications where you would use these effects are mutually exclusive.
The other effects (Mod, Delay) and Reverb operate the same way. You can only choose one function within the family of the effect.
