5.5 Dynamics Section
The Dynamics Section comprises a
compressor/limiter and an expander/gate.
Both sections work independently, but
can be operational at the same time,
providing sophisticated control of signal
levels. The filter and/or the equaliser
section can be assigned to the dynamics
sidechain allowing for advanced
processes like de-essing etc.
The Dynamics Section has a few routing
buttons ssociated with it.
DYN IN: Switches the Dynamics Section
into the signal path, post EQ.
PRE EQ: Switches the Dynamics
Section pre the EQ section (but post the
Filter section if the Filter INPUT switch
is pressed).
