Track dynamics
Samplitude 11.5 Producer provides two different dynamics modules: one that
can be opened via the "Offline effects" menu (talked about in further detail in
the corresponding chapter), and a second one that is only available via the
track effects and in the mixer.
Use this editor to edit the dynamics of a sample. All functions can be
previewed in real time.
The graphics display shows the corresponding resulting dynamics curve to
improve the overview.
The following functions are available:
Compressor: The dynamics of a piece are limited, loud sequences are
dampened, quiet sequences are retained. 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, the activation threshold is determined by the
threshold. You can also influence the attack and release.
Limiter: Only the loudest passages are limited (above the threshold). Quiet
passages remain unedited. Limiters are used to reduce the occurrence of big
level peaks without reducing the master dynamics. After the limiter process,
the master level can be increased using normalization without having to worry
