OK: The algorithm is applied to the selected range of the sample or the selected object.
The parameters of the dialog window are applied when used in the master section of the
mixer.
Cancel: Click on this button to close the dialog window without calculating the effect.
When used in the master section of the mixer, the parameters of the dialog window are not
applied.
Multiband dynamics – setups and parameters
Parameters for the dynamic sections
Ratio (factor): This parameter controls the level of the corresponding effect; 1.0 means
that there is no effect. Clicking the button beside it resets the ratio to 1.00.
Threshold (-dB): This is the input threshold value above and below which the
corresponding effect is applied.
Attack (ms): This sets the time frame from crossing the threshold to the maximum extent
of the effect.
Release (ms): This sets the time frame between the point below the threshold and the
complete reduction of the effect.
Gate level (-dB): This parameter specifies the value after which the level should be set to
0.
Output parameters:
Gain Band (dB
): This adjusts the level at the output of the dynamics stage individually for
each band. Note that the influence of this controller cannot be fully displayed. If you set the
controller higher, clipping may occur; in this case, the reference line continues upwards out
of the display border.
Solo mode: In "Solo" mode, frequency bands may be monitored one at a time. This
function particularly simplifies the setting of filter parameters. For instance, you can locate a
critical frequency range of a mix before editing the dynamics.
Mode
Comp
r. max: The dynamics of a frequency range are limited, loud sequences are
dampened, quiet sequences are retained. These settings are often used to add power to
audio material or to increase the loudness. Among other things, this type of dynamics
editing effect is referred to as the "Maximizer" or "Loudness enhancer". Use the "Ratio"
input field to set the degree of compression via the "Threshold". You can also influence the
"Attack" and "Release" via the corresponding input fields.
Compressor: The influence of the dynamics corresponds with the behavior of a "classic"
compressor: The dynamics of a frequency range are limited, loud sequences are
dampened, quiet sequences are retained. This setting is used especially for sound design
via compression without raising the total volume. The level of compression is adjusted by
the "Ratio" controller; the activation threshold is determined by "Threshold". "Attack" and
"Release" may also be influenced. A "Gain" controller has also been added to the controller
to compensate for volume reduction.
