Editing is carried out using a “look-ahead” method, similar to high-quality
studio appliances. There are no peak over-modulations or other artifacts, as
the algorithm can never be ‘surprised’ by sudden level peaks.
Sensor field: You can intuitively influence the sensor field of the
compressor with mouse movements. The graphics color and the respective
effect settings change in response to each other.
Ratio: This parameter controls the amount of compression.
Threshold: Set the threshold, above which compression is applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction speed to increasing sound levels. Short
attack times can create an undesirable "pumping" sound, as the volume is
quickly reduced or increased correspondingly.
Release: Sets the algorithm's reaction speed to falling sound levels.
A/B: If you have selected a preset for the effect and make manual changes to
it later, you can compare the original preset sound with the new settings by
using the A/B-button.
Reset: This resets the effect device to its original neutral starting point where
minimal processing power is required and no effect is added to the sound.
Load/Save: Here you can save the current settings as an effect file so that they
can be used on other projects as well.
Frequency/Filter
10-Band EQ
The 10-band equalizer subdivides the frequency spectrum into ten areas
(‘bands’) and equips them with separate volume controls. This way it is
possible to create many impressive effects, from a simple boosting of the bass
to complete elimination of a certain range of frequencies. Note: If low
frequencies are boosted too much, the overall sound level is heavily increased
which may lead to distortion. In this event, adjust the overall volume downward
by using the "master volume" control situated in the main screen.
