Multimax
MultiMax is a compressor with three independent frequency bands. The dynamics
are edited separately for each band.
The benefit of a multi-band compressor in comparison to a "normal" compressor is
that the "pumping" tendency and other disturbing side effects are dramatically
reduced when editing the dynamics. For instance, it can prevent a bass top peak from
"reducing" the entire signal.
Multi-band technology also lets you specifically edit individual frequency ranges.
Link bands: When this function is activated and one fader is adjusted, all faders are
changed in the same ratio. However, the way the dynamics are edited is not affected.
Limiter: MultiMax includes a limiter that prevents clipping by automatically lowering
the level if it is set too high. Quiet parts remain unaffected.
High quality: When the "High quality" setting is activated, an even more precise
algorithm is used which, however, requires more processing power. We recommend
that you switch on this setting before you export the project.
Bass/Mid/High: These knobs control the level of compression for each frequency
band.
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.
Presets
In MultiMax, you can use the presets to open further special functions:
Dynamic expander: Too high a compression rate will result in audible noise (usually
defined as a pumping sound). Radio recordings in particular are recorded with very
high compression rates to increase the perceived volume. Unfortunately compression
reduces the dynamics (interval between the quietest and loudest part). The expander
enhances the dynamics of the recording.
Tape NR-B Decoder: Samplitude Music Studio 2013 simulates decoding of Dolby B +
C noise suppression if no Dolby player is available. Cassettes recorded with Dolby B
or C sound more muffled and slurry if played back without corresponding Dolby.
