So I decided to give the inbuilt compressor in the channel strip in Cubase 8.5 a chance and work with it through a mix.

Is there any way to see the gain reduction value? Or is it too much to ask 😃

Each segment of the LED has three levels of intensity.

If the first segment is on its highest intensity it is approximately 6db gain reduction.
