will cause the peak expansion meter to show three
solid bars for short periods of time. Increase the
ExpLvl parameter until the peaks in the source
material sound slightly exaggerated. Then, reduce
the setting until the peaks sound natural.
• Set the Ratio parameter to 4.00:1, the Attack
parameter to 7.2msec, and the Release parameter to
1.4sec. Beginning at 0dB, reduce the setting of the
Thresh parameter until the gain reduction meter
moves between 0 and 3 to 6dB of gain reduction. If
the output level sounds unnatural, increase the
settings of the Attack and Release parameters. If
output levels are too low after peaks occur, increase
the setting of the Release parameter. If output levels
are still too low after peaks occur, increase the
setting of the ExpLvl parameter.
• Beginning at 0, adjust the Gain parameter setting
until the output level meter shows peaks above
–3dB.
LIVE-FOH (FRONT OF HOUSE)
Live-FOH programs are designed for live performances,
with controls that are more convenient for live-sound
engineers to operate. These programs use Dual Mono
routings to accommodate the sound reinforcement
systems (PAs) used in most small-to-mid-sized venues.
Often, these systems provide limited channels and mono
aux sends for effects.
For Live-FOH presets:
• Edit Page 1 contains the four most essential
parameters for the first effect, and Edit Page 2
contains the four most essential parameters for the
second effect. Non-essential parameters have been
removed from the Edit Pages.
