Limiter 100%: Performs the same editing as the limiter; however, the level is immediately
raised to 0 dB, which corresponds with a subsequent normalization.
Expander: The dynamics of a piece are increased, loud sequences remain quiet, quiet
sequences become even quieter. Dynamics expansion is often used for recording speech
featuring a high noise level. The expansion causes the level of the speech to be raised
while the noise is suppressed. Please note that there is also a powerful De-noising
algorithm provided.
Gate: Very quiet passages (below the threshold level) are dampened or set to zero. This
way, you can effectively suppress noise during the pauses between takes. Even at high
compression (ratio > 5), the gate function is still useful to avoid strong increases in the
quietest of passages and background noise.
Dynamics - Parameters
Ratio: This parameter controls the compression ratio. A value of 5.0, for example,
corresponds to a volume reduction that's five times the threshold, while a value of 1.0
means that compression is not applied.
Threshold: This sets the threshold; the effect will be applied above and below this level.
Attack: This sets the time frame from crossing the threshold to the maximum extent of the
effect.
Release: This sets the time frame between the point below the threshold and the complete
reduction of the effect.
Gate level: This parameter specifies which levels should be set to 0.
