Upward Leveling
Upward Leveling – this describes the possibility to make only the low
signal parts louder and leave the louder changes in dynamics unpro-
cessed.
The settings shown above are very suitable for classical music, for ex-
ample, where ‚typical‘ compression is objectionable. The compressor
works in linked Stereo mode, the Attack time is set at maximum and the
Release time is at 150ms. Under these conditions the alpha compressor
will function as a leveler.
In Feed Forward mode the Attack time is twice as long compared to
Feedback mode and therefore amounts to 300ms. The Ratio character-
istic corresponds to the one of a limiter, and the make up gain is about
6dB.
The result of these settings: Quieter passages that do not produce any
Gain reduction will be boosted by 6dB, whereas loud signals will be lim-
ited by the compressor.
Now the special trick is to set the Mix controller to 50%. By adding the
original signal the initial dynamics will be saved, and the bottom line is
that only the quieter signals will be turned up.
