Cmprs (compressor)
Cmprs opens the Compressor Setup window (see Figure 3.53).With the compressor
you can change the gain transfer characteristics of the signal path and control the
dynamics of a signal.
When the signal exceeds the threshold level, gain reduction occurs at the rate
specified by the reduction ratio.The attack time determines how aggressively the
compressor reacts to increases in level.The release time controls how aggressively
the compressor reacts to reductions in level. Select the Enable Compressor check
box to activate the compressor.
Group
Use the slider to assign this compressor to a compressor group.The default is
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, 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.
Figure 3.53.Compressor Setup window
Compressors and com-
pressor groups can be
established only within the
XAP 800 unit being configured,
i.e., they cannot be configured from
a single point across multiple units.
