sMAX11
The sMax11 maximizer increases the loudness of the audio signal.
This is done by entering the input amplitude (gain-in). The signal will be amplified by this
level. The sMax11 simultaneously ensures that the signal doesn't exceed the output level
(gain-out) that has been set. This requires regulation of the response time set via the
mode and release time. Essentially, this involves a hard or brickwall limiter with input
amplification.
A typical approach might look like this: First, switch on the link option. Now increase the
input amplitude until the audio changes become unacceptable. Reduce the level again
slightly. Distortions may be minimized by increasing the release time. In any case, the
compression effect and the increase in loudness will therefore be lower. Maybe switch on
the bypass. The link option keeps the loudness constant, allowing changes to be
compared better. Once you have found the optimal setting, switch off the link option, and
set the output gain back to 0 dB.
sMax11 - General controls and presets
The controls Save, Load, and Delete have not been integrated directly into this dialog.
They are integrated in the preset list and are available in the lower area. clicking these list
entries enables you to save, load, or delete settings. The standard file extension is *.max.
Play/Stop: This button starts/stops the real-time preview function. Use it to check the
corresponding filter setting.
Latency display: This value provides information about current distortion of the effect in
samples that should be considered for latency compensation. The latency of this effect is
influenced by the set effects mode among other things).
OK: Applies the preset parameters.
Cancel: Rejects the parameter settings.
