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.
Multimax
MultiMax is a compressor with three independent frequency bands. The
dynamics are edited separately for each band.
The benefit of a multi-band compressor in comparison to a "normal"
compressor is that the "pumping" tendency and other disturbing side effects
are dramatically reduced when editing the dynamics. For instance, it can
prevent a bass top peak from "reducing" the entire signal.
Multi-band technology also lets you specifically edit individual frequency
ranges.
Link bands: When this function is activated and one fader is adjusted, all
faders are changed in the same ratio. However, the way the dynamics are
edited is not affected.
Limiter: MultiMax includes a limiter that prevents clipping by automatically
lowering the level if it is set too high. Quiet parts remain unaffected.
