Steinberg GROOVE AGENT 3 Mode D'emploi page 68

The Release knob controls how quickly the compressor recovers
when the volume of the drums drops. Short times increase the com-
pressed sound, and longer times give a more natural sound.
The Out Level knob allows you to compensate for the level changes
the Compress and EQ settings may induce.
A word of warning! Although it is fully possible use effects on every sin-
gle Groove Agent 3 output (all 12 of them), your computer may not be
able to handle the load.
Gain reduction meter
The meter next to the Compressor section shows you how much the
sound is squeezed by the Compressor.
FX Preset handling
We've made life a lot easier for you by providing preset effects. These
are suitable for individual instruments (such as kick, snare, hihat, etc.)
as well as entire drum kits. These presets can be used as-is or as a
starting point for further tweaking.
Effect presets are available in the FX Preset box. You can also save
and load your own presets by clicking the diskette symbol next to the
box.
You can easily copy the entire FX settings from one output to another
by using the Copy and Paste buttons.
The Total Bypass button is for comparing the sound of an output
channel with and without effects.
Any time you move a knob or a slider, the exact value can be moni-
tored if you keep an eye on the small value box next to the Total By-
pass button.
