Chapter 8: Dugan Music System and Gain Limiting
Dugan Gain Limiting is typically used with the Dugan Music System. To learn more
about these concepts, see Chapter 2: Theory of the Speech and Music Systems.
Dugan Music System
The Dugan Music System is a ducker with its threshold set by the level of an audio side
chain (the Music System Threshold Input). Each channel has a 2:1 expansion ratio
below the floating threshold.
The music tab appears on the right margin of the Master Panel when at least one
channel has an active music or NOM button. Click the music tab to open the Dugan
Music System panel. If more than one group has a music channel, additional columns
appear for each group.
NOTE: To learn how to set the various controls on this panel, see Setting Controls on page 37.
