Multi-band technology also lets you specifically edit individual frequency
ranges.
Link bands: When this button is activated and one fader is adjusted all faders
are changed in the same ratio. The type of dynamic editing is not influenced.
Limiter: MultiMax includes a limiter that prevents clipping by automatically
lowering the level. Quiet parts remain unaffected.
High quality: When the "High quality" setting is activated, an even more
precise algorithm is used, but it also requires more processing power. We
recommend that you switch on this setting before you export the project.
Setting the frequency bands: The settings of the frequency bands are
changed directly in the graphic. Simply click on the separator lines and move
them.
Bass/Mid/High: These knobs control the level of compression for each
frequency band.
Presets: In MultiMax you can use the presets to open two more special
functions.
Cassette NR-B decoder: MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX simulates decoding
of Dolby B + C noise suppression if no Dolby player is available. Casettes
recorded with Dolby B or C sound more muffled and slurry if played back
without corresponding Dolby.
DeEsser: These special presets are for removing overstressed hiss sounds
from speech recordings.
Dynamics
Fundamentally, the compressor is an automated, dynamic volume controller.
The dynamics of a piece are limited, loud sequences remain loud, quiet
sequences become louder. Compression is often used to add power to audio
material or to increase the loudness. The level of compression is adjusted by
the ratio controller, while the activation threshold is determined by the
threshold. You can also influence the attack and release.
Editing is carried out using a “look-ahead” method, similar to high-quality
studio appliances. There are no peak over-modulations or other artifacts, as
the algorithm can never be ‘surprised’ by sudden level peaks.
Sensor field: You can intuitively influence the sensor field of the
compressor with mouse movements. The graphics color and the respective
effect settings change in response to each other.
