Final Mix for Tracktion
dynamics bands. Double-clicking on any of
the smaller contour screens brings up the cor-
responding larger screen for detailed editing of
the contour. The contour allows you to control
the threshold and ratio, as well as a desired
knee. It is a view of the overall ‘shape’ or con-
tour of exactly what the compressor is going to
do to your signal. You can even draw in regions
of expansion. From this screen you can also en-
able or disable the band’s auto make-up gain.
Band View displays the edit screen of a selected
band along with numeric windows that display
makeup gain, attack, and release values. For
more information see the "Dynamics Processor"
section on page 14.
Global Controls Block
The global block contains all of Final Mix’s
global assignments. These assignments include
Preset Toggle Control, Preset Title Window,
Active, Menu, Mem A/B, and Fader Link. There
are also Input and Output faders, and Meters.
Block diagram and Help screens
Click on the question mark ? in the top right
corner to bring up the signal path block dia-
gram. This shows the goings-on within the
plug-in, and takes the place of a thousand
words. Or at least it would, but the thousand
words protested, brought in their attorneys, and
they are spelled out further on anyway. In the
diagram below, little arrows have been added to
show the direction of signal fl ow.
Clicking the arrow buttons in the top right will
bring on a help screen, and a note about some
of the factory presets.
