D3 Compressor Controls

The Compressor icon, which represents a com-

pression curve, acts as a three-state switch for en-

abling, disabling, or bypassing the compressor. Its

current state is indicated by the icon’s color.

• White indicates enabled. In this state the com-

pressor is active and using available DSP

resources.

• Black indicates disabled. In this state, the

compressor is not using DSP resources.

• Gray indicates bypassed. In this state the com-

pressor is not active, but is still using available

DSP resources.

To disable the compressor:

 Start key-click (Windows) or Control-click

(Mac) the icon. When the compressor is dis-

abled, the icon is black.

To re-enable the compressor:

 Click the icon. When the compressor is enabled,

the icon is white.

To bypass the compressor:

 Click the icon a second time. When the com-

pressor is bypassed, the icon is grey.

If you are using the Compressor/Limiter plug-in,

which allows you to use either the compressor or

the limiter (but not both simultaneously), you must

disable one module by Start key-clicking the icon

(Windows) or Control-clicking it (Mac) before

you can enable the other.

Ratio

Ratio sets the compression ratio. If the ratio is set

to 2:1 for example, it will compress changes in sig-

nals above the threshold by one half. The range of

this control is from 1.5:1 (very little compression),

to 10:1 (heavy compression, bordering on limit-

ing).
