Multiband Dynamics – General controls
Saving, loading & deleting presets: This is where all parameters are saved, loaded, or
deleted. The default file extension is *.MDY.
Reference line
Band selection: Here you can select a band for dynamic editing. The reference line of
each selected band displays in white, while the other bands display as lines in their
corresponding colors.
Copy to all bands: After pressing this button the parameters of the chosen band, i.e. the
parameters whose values appear on the screen, are applied to all bands. If you also have
"Link bands" selected, the values for all bands remain coupled to one another.
Setup
Bands: Here you can select the number of bands between 1 and 4. In setting 1, there is
no separation into various frequency bands. In this case the algorithm works like the
standard dynamic section. The more bands there are, the more power the algorithm
drains.
Band separation: See below
Link bands: When this option is active, changes to the dynamic parameters affect all
bands. It's often not necessary to individually set up the dynamic parameters for each
band. Especially with general settings, it's often necessary to adjust the parameters
together.
Advanced mode: When this option is selected the same internal processing routines are
set as in the advanced dynamics module.
Important: If you have activated "Link bands", this does not mean that all parameters in all
bands will have the same values. Only those parameters remain the same to which
changes were made after "Link bands" was selected. If you want all bands to have the
same settings, please click on "Copy to all".
Preview: If this option is checked, the dynamics section will perform a preview. When
unchecked, artifacts like "pumping" or distortion may occur. On the other hand, without a
preview this option will not automatically "level" steep attack phases of the waveform,
which may result in "sharper" audio material. This setting affects all bands.
Bypass dyn. (bypass dynamics):
The dynamic editing of individual bands is removed from the signal route. This option is
used to compare the results of editing with the unchanged original.
The difference to the "Bypass all" switch is that with bypass dynamics in "Solo" mode,
individual bands can be compared separately, with or without dynamic editing as the filter
bank is still activated.
Bypass all:
Here too, the entire multi-band dynamic section is removed from the signal route. Since the
entire filter bank is "bridged", "Solo" mode can no longer be used. The gain fader for the
sum is also no longer active.
