The dbx type 1 noise reduction system is a quirky unit .....

the best thing to do is not to over use it. That said, moderate application is the key here. I find that if I adjust the dial on the input and output signal with similar value I get better results. However, if I dial in the input signal too much you get too much distortion as some RTR cannot take it especially the cheaper models. Nevertheless, if you dialed in the input signal too low the sound becomes flat and lifeless.

FWIW, I have my dbx 150 type 1 input and output signals both dialed in at around 11: 00 o’ clock I find that this the best configuration for my Otari 2 tracks machine as it sounded very natural coupled with excellent dynamics.
