added. "Pre-fader" is set to catch the side chain signal. This means that the sidechain
remains independent of the fader position of the sending channel.
Right clicking on the AUX send button selects this as "Side chain send". Thereby you can
use further track as the source for the sidechain signal at a later date.
Sidechain filter: The sidechain filter can be filtered by a parametric equalizer (view page
621).
Advanced dynamics – dynamic scope
Dynamic scope appears when you play the selected object/sample in an open dialog. You
can then see a scattered white line, a "snow cloud" with individual points that represent
the input and output values. This way, the change to the samples achieved via advanced
dynamics may be visualized constantly.
The dynamic scope's functions may be easily explained via the following example:
Select "ZERO" and press "Play;, now the effect won't change the signal. The scope shows
all samples on the red line, which indicates that all output values equal the input values.
Slide the gain fader upwards to see that the "snow cloud" follows the reference line. If very
high time constants are selected, then this takes place relatively slowly.
Selecting a relatively short attack time (10 ms), a long release time (400 ms) and a severely
arched reference line can also move the effect towards "pumping". The "restlessness" of
this dynamic scope mirrors the "pumping" graphically.
Advanced dynamics – tips and tricks
Select one of the provided presets as a general setting. You can now adapt the
reference line to the source material with the help of the dynamic scope and very
precisely separate the signal components.
If the scattered line of the dynamic scope moves very jerkily, this is probably because of
the settings of the time constants. Set these according to the sound preferences and
then save the personalized presets.
In order to couple an "analog" limiter with the hard limiter algorithm, define the Limiter
level at the maximum desired sample level. Once set, an "analog" limiter may be set by
using an extreme ratio setting (compressor 10.00 or expander 0.10).
