I just purchased an alesis compressor limitor. does any one know the best way to disable sam's funcations other than stereo expander & normalization funcations. thanks.

ok, I did some reading and came up with the answer. I'm posting to prevent replys and maybe help someone else in the future. If you set the compression ratio on sam to 1:1 no matter what the thereshold, attack, or release settings are there will be no compression. The other funcations like limiting and stereo expansion remain funcational. now I can use my hardware compressor for it's designed purpose

You could also click the 'Enable' button on the compressor and just disable it for LF/HF
