sMax11 - Graphical displays
Mod. display: This meter indicates the modification of the signal in dB. The portion of the
input amplitude is not considered. Only the level with the non-linear changes (required for
catching level peaks) will be displayed.
In/Out displays: These meters show the input and output displays in dB.
Reset (meter): This button resets the meter displays.
sMax11 - Special control elements
Gain-in: This value specifies how much the signal should be increased (maximal).
Reset (Gain-In): Resets the "Gain-in" parameter.
Gain-out: This value sets the maximum output level.
Reset (Gain-Out): Resets the "Gain-out" parameter.
Link: This option connects both gain values.
Note: If the link option is active, then "Gain-in" may be increased, for example, without
increasing the output volume. This makes it easier to detect distortions resulting from a
high "Gain-in" value.
Release: Set the time frame for the complete dissipation of the effect on the signal in
seconds.
Mode: The setting of the mode influences the effect's control behavior:
• Balanced: Lowest level of distortion with transparent sound, robust to use
• Fast: Addresses slightly faster than "Balanced". This mode corresponds with the
behavior of the hard limiter in the advanced dynamics
• Aggressive: Very short attack time, suitable for especially sharp transients for this
reason
• Hard clipper: Controls are shut off in this mode. Level peaks are simply cut off, which
may lead to serious distortion. This mode may be useful if transients of an individual hit
still need to be highlighted.
Use of different modes is dependent on the case of application. For example, "Balanced"
mode should be used for speech. For signals with dominant percussive sections, the
sharpness of the hits may be maintained by using "Aggressive". The right setting will cover
distortions that occur or make them very minimally audible.
