2. The "Advanced dynamics" tool is quite a comprehensive tool. This is a combination of a
classic dynamic module (compressor/expander/gate) and an approximating limiter. The
consequence is an undistorted, optimally modulated signal with defined volume. Unlike
with "Dynamics", the functionality is not specified using setups, but rather by reference line
alone. This makes free combinations between the functions possible. Setting the
parameter is either done by direct input or by graphically changing the reference line.
Volume detection can be derived either from "Peak", "RMS" or "Fast". In "Fast" mode,
processor strain is lower, but the functionality is different to classic dynamic module. "RMS"
mode corresponds exactly to the dynamic behavior of the analog dynamics module. With
"Peak" you can achieve a more lively sound.
3. The most comprehensive option of dynamic editing is provided by "multiband
dynamics". The advantage of dynamic manipulation across multiple frequency bands as
opposed to a standard process is that the danger of pumping and other side-effects
arising sink drastically when editing dynamically. For instance, it can prevent a bass top
peak from reducing the entire signal. Multiband technology also lets you specifically edit
individual frequency ranges.
4. Samplitude's am-track, am-pulse, and am-phibia also provide you with targeted
dynamic editing, which simulates analog effect processors. Read more about in "Effects -
Categories and techniques".
Which compressor should be used and when?
When you should use a certain dynamic module depends on how targeted you want your
change to be. The dynamics module works well on mixer channels for quickly and
efficiently influencing the dynamics of a channel.
The sound of an object, however, should often be changed very specifically. This way, the
dynamics of an instrument can be varied between the verse and the chorus, depending on
the playback method. This is a desired relation, which can be retained or even forced using
precise compressor settings. Here we recommend using advanced dynamics to optimally
change the dynamic behavior of the source material.
In the master module of the mixer, using multi-band dynamics gives the entire mix its final
balance. Since increasing the volume using a multi-band compressor may give rise to
clipping, it is necessary to have a limiter which approximates all clipping samples at the
limiter threshold.
When mastering CDs, we recommend using multi-band dynamics for each object/CD
track. This way you can react to the differences of each CD tracks with different multi-band
dynamics settings.
