Whether you’re looking for a snappy, fast release or a slower, more drawn-out compression effect, the release time mod gives you the flexibility to shape the sound just the way you want. This added feature provides a level of precision that helps the Level-Loc perform across a wide variety of recording and mixing scenarios.
