• Stereo Link Operation: In Stereo Link mode, the same amount of compression is applied to both L/R channels, based on the sum of the two. With Stereo Link disabled, compression takes place independently for each channel, whilst retaining common controls for both.
• External Side-Chain: Use any other channel of your mix as an input to the side-chain of MIA Compressor One.
• Side-Chain Filtering: Use the High-Pass and Low-Pass filters to restrict the side-chain information to the desired frequency range.
• Band Compression: Define a certain frequency range to be compressed, while the rest of the signal remains unaffected.
• Color Type: Five carefully designed EQ curves to add some MIA flavor to your sound.
• Input, Output, and Gain-Reduction Meters: Visualize the compression process with the assistance of the input, output, and gain-reduction displays in either Peak or RMS mode.
• MIA Presets: 34 carefully designed MIA presets to achieve quick and balanced results or to act as a perfect kick start toward your desired outcome.
• Dry-Processed Control: Control the balance between the dry and the compressed signal.
