Help: This opens the "Help" window.
OK: The algorithm is applied to the selected range of the sample or the selected object.
When used in the master section of the mixer, the parameters of the dialog window are
applied.
Cancel: Click on this button to close the dialog window, without calculating the effect.
When used in the master section of the mixer, the parameters of the dialog window are not
applied.
Multiband Dynamics – Setups and parameters
Parameters for the dynamic sections
Ratio (factor): This parameter controls the strength of the corresponding effect, 1.00
means that there is no effect. By clicking on the button beside it, you can reset the ratio to
1.00.
Threshold (-dB): This is the input threshold value above and below which the
corresponding effect is applied.
Attack (ms): Here you can set the time frame between the crossing of the threshold and
the maximum extent of the effect.
Release (ms): Here you can set the time frame between the falling off of the threshold and
the complete dissipation of the effect.
Gate Level (-dB): This parameter specifies which levels should be set to 0.
Parameters for the output:
Gain Band (dB): Here you can adjust the level at the output of the dynamics stage
individually for each band. Please note that the influence of this controller cannot be fully
displayed. If you set the controller higher, clipping may occur. In this case the reference line
has to be continued upwards out of the display border.
Solo: In "Solo" mode the frequency bands can be monitored one at a time. This function
particularly simplifies the setting of filter parameters. For instance, you can locate a critical
frequency range of a mix before editing the dynamics.
Mode
Compr. Max: The dynamics of a frequency range are limited, loud sequences are
dampened, quiet sequences are retained. These settings are often used to add power to
audio material or to increase the loudness. Amongst other things, this type of dynamics
editing effect is referred to as "Maximizer" or "Loudness enhancer". You can use the
"Ratio" input field to set the degree of compression. You can also influence the attack and
release using the corresponding input fields.
Compressor: The influence on the dynamics corresponds to the behavior of a "classic"
compressor: The dynamics of a frequency range are limited, loud sequences are
dampened, quiet sequences are retained. This setting is used in particular for sound design
by compression without raising the total volume. The level of compression is adjusted by
the ratio controller, while the activation threshold is determined by the threshold. You can
