Mastering Tool Kit parameter functions
Section 2
Bass Cut Filter
This filter cuts out vocal pop and other unwanted low-band
noise.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This setting turns the Bass Cut Filter on or off.
Cut Off Freq 20 Hz–2.0 kHz
This parameter sets the frequency below which vocal pop and other
undesirable lower-range noises will be filtered out.
Enhancer
This effect makes a sound livelier, and thus, more present in the mix.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the enhancer on or off.
Sensitivity 0–100
Sets the degree to which the enhancer is to be applied.
Frequency 1.0–10.0 kHz
Sets the frequency at which the enhancer will begin to affect the sound.
Mix Level -24–+12 dB
Sets the volume of the effect sound.
Input
This effect divides the original sound into three frequency
bands—namely, low, middle, and high.
Input Gain -24–+12 dB
Sets the overall volume level before the signal passes through the
expander/compressor.
Delay Time 0–10 ms
This parameter sets the amount of time by which the input sound is delayed.
Split Freq L 20–800 Hz
Sets the low-band frequency at which the source sound is split into
low and middle bands.
Split Freq H 1.6–16.0 kHz
Sets the upper-band frequency at which the source sound is split into
middle and high bands.
Expander
This effect expands the dynamic range at a fixed ratio.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This setting turns the expander on or off.
ExpL: Thres -80–0 dB
This parameter sets the volume level at which the low-band
expander begins to affect the sound.
ExpL: Ratio 1:1.00–1:16.0, 1:INF
Sets the ratio for output increase in the low band when the input
level falls below the Lo threshold.
ExpL: Attack 0–100 ms
Sets the time it takes for the low-band expander to start affecting the
sound once the input level falls below the Lo threshold.
ExpL: Release 50–5000 ms
Sets the time it takes for the low-band expander to stop affecting the
sound once the input level rises above the Lo threshold.
ExpM: Thres -80–0 dB
This sets the volume level at which the midrange expander goes into
effect.
ExpM: Ratio 1:1.00–1:16.0, 1:INF
This parameter sets the volume level at which the middle-band
expander begins to affect the sound.
ExpM: Attack 0–100 ms
Sets the time it takes for the middle-band expander to start affecting
the sound once the input level falls below the Middle threshold.
ExpM: Release 50–5000 ms
Sets the time it takes for the middle-band expander to stop affecting
the sound once the input level rises above the Middle threshold.
ExpH: Thres -80–0 dB
This parameter sets the volume level at which the high-band
expander begins to affect the sound.
ExpH: Ratio 1:1.00–1:16.0, 1:INF
Sets the ratio for output increase in the high band when the input
level falls below the Hi threshold.
ExpH: Attack 0–100 ms
Sets the time it takes for the high-band expander to start affecting the
sound once the input level falls below the Hi threshold.
ExpH: Release 50–5000 ms
Sets the time it takes for the high-band expander to stop affecting the
sound once the input level rises above the Hi threshold.
