can someone tell me what the button next to the release button on the compressor does. i think its called adapt release?

Release
When the signal level drops below the set threshold, this determines how long it takes before the compressor lets the sound through unaffected. Set this to short values for intense, "pumping" compressor effects, or to longer values for a smoother change of the dynamics. Range: 50ms to 600ms.

Adapt
Release
When this is used, set Release to the time you want for short peaks - when longer peaks occur, the Release time is automatically increased.

thanks joe you really cleared that up for me.
