It is well suited for processing dynamic and brilliant recordings, increasing their "punch". 6) Kick Drum: In this preset, mid-low range is emphasized, while high and mid frequencies are slightly attenuated. This special preset is extremely well suited for drum recordings. It is ideal for underlining drums’ low range in multitrack recordings or mixed microphone environments. 7) Mixdown: Mixdown is less bri

Once the input signal is split into 2 "sub-bands", the DigiComp 16 operates a first limiting process on the low frequencies band, and then, once the full band, is restored, it applies a powerful stereo dynamic process on the two "recombined" channels.

Insert jacks on the back of a mixer provide a way of "inserting" external processing equipment into the signal path. The insert occurs after the input amplifier, and before the channel fader; essentially it is the same as connecting the source (inst
