Chapter 7: 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 soft-gating or ducking system with its threshold set by
an audio side-chain input, the Music System Threshold Input. Each channel has a 2:1
expansion ratio below the floating threshold.
If at least one channel has an active music or NOM button, the Dugan Music System
panel can be opened by clicking the music tab on the right margin of the Master
Pane. If more than one group has a music channel, additional columns will appear.
NOTE: See Setting Controls on page 29 to learn how to set them.
