Title: G+ Buss Compressor Calibration?
Post by: ciaopatsy on September 17, 2026, 10:41:46 AM
Hi all, I've had my G+ for two years now and so far its been difficult to get the buss compressor to stay around the "magic" -4db of gain reduction when mixing. Even with the buss comp's threshold at +15 (attack 30, release auto) it still pulls closer to -8db of reduction on the average mix. I don't think I'm hitting my desk any harder than the next guy, and when I use outboard buss compressors in place of the SSL comp they behave normally. Is there anyway to calibrate the desks buss compressor? I've seen some calibration documents for individual channels but they didn't have  any info about the center section. Thanks!
