gre gre Planeteer Registered: 08/20/11 Posts: 145	On the track mixer dynamics section which way is fast and which way is slow for the attack and release? I know different compressors are fast all the way to the left and some are fast to the right. thanks

But you could teach yourself easily enough, by testing the settings in their extremes on some sound with sharp transients and longish decay times.... a rack tom, or a single piano mid-to-high range note for instance. _________________________ uptildawn

Setting too short times can result in "stepping"/ clipping artefacts in sound though .... Cheers ! Edited by Catweazle (12/11/23 09:13 PM)
