5.4: DYNAMICS
The Ui dynamics section is a comprehensive audio compressor/limiter and gate section. Basically, a
compressor reduces the level of the audio once it passes a particular threshold. You can set the Ui

determine its ‘open ‘ (above Threshold) or ‘closed’ (below Threshold) status. When a gate is closed,
the signal level is reduced, or cut completely. A gate can, for example, be used to reduce ambient
noise picked up by a microphone when the source (instrument/voice) is not active.
7+5(6+2/'
Adjust the Threshold of the compressor
The tablet version of the software includes a horizontal THRESHOLD fader. You can drag the orange ‘T’ ball in the
dynamics graphic in both phone and tablet versions.
*$7(
Adjust the Threshold of the gate
When the audio signal level falls below this threshold, the signal is attenuated. The gate threshold is depicted in
the dynamics graphic as a darkened horizontal zone.
RATIO
Adjust the compression ratio
This determines how much the compressor attenuates the audio after the threshold level has been passed.
An infinite (inf) RATIO setting causes the compressor to become a limiter.
