• In order to couple an "analog" limiter with the hard limiter algorithm, define the limiter
level at the maximum desired sample level. Once set, you can simulate an "analog"
limiter by using an extreme ratio setting (compressor 10.00 or expander 0.10).
Multiband Dynamics
The "Multi-band dynamics" section lets you edit the dynamics in up to four independent
frequency bands. Here the entire signal is split into individual frequency bands. The
dynamics are then edited separately for each band.
The reassembly of the independent bands is 100% phase-neutral and thanks to the FIR
complement filter technique no discoloration of the frequency response is introduced. In
other words: If there is no dynamic editing in the individual bands, i.e. the signal is only split
into the bands and then reassembled, the audio material will be perfectly compiled to the
state it was before. 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. Multi-band technology also lets you specifically
edit individual frequency ranges.
Multiband Dynamics – Overview
In the "Frequency separation / Gain enhancement / Reduction" dialog, you'll find the
parameters for the filter bank. The graphic shows you the frequency response curves of the
individual curves. The left axis labeling shows the damping in -dB, while the upper axis
labeling shows the frequencies in kHz. The individual curves are displayed in color.
The illustration to the right displays the dynamics reference line. It illustrates the ratio from
the input level (upper axis in dB) to the output level (left axis in dB).
The dynamics reference line is always displayed for the band that was selected for
adjusting the dynamics.
The dynamics section of the individual bands is equipped with the following parameters:
"Gain", "Ratio", "Threshold", "Attack", "Release, "Gate Level" as well as the modes
"Compr. Max", "Compressor", "Limiter", Limiter 100", "Expander", and "Gate".
