Pot controls
Some controllers snap to the middle setting, which may be useful for quickly returning to a
"neutral" status. It is extremely difficult to adjust the fine settings within close proximity of
this snap point. You can temporarily deactivate this snap mode by holding the "Shift" key
before touching the controller.
You can use the mouse wheel to adjust the controllers. A combination of the mouse wheel
and "Shift" key reduces the increase/decrease by factor ten.
Regarding the controller movement please note that all plug-ins follow the host settings
regarding linear or circular mouse movement. You can usually choose whether you prefer
up/down or a circular movement to adjust the value.
Analog Modeling Suite: am-track
(Samplitude Professional)
am-track analogue modelling compressor & tape simulation
"am-track" is a combination of an analog compressor and a tape simulator in one single
device. The plug-in was developed for targeted editing and enhancement of input signals
(instruments, vocals). The audio signal can be given some more power and liveliness with a
combination of compression and tape saturation in order to assert itself in the entire mix.
Next, we explain the compressor section of the am-track, its special advantages compared
to "conventional" software compressors, and the available parameters. We will also explain
the features of tape simulation.
Compressor section
Two completely different compressors work in am-track, each with their own independent
control and sound methods.
You may ask yourself why we mention sound when talking about a compressor as the
compressors merely relate to control actions. Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as the
"making loud quiet" theory.
Various designs, algorithms and topologies for solving the actual problem (of the dynamic
reduction) which all have their own unique character have come from the history of
analogue and digital signal processing. For example, pre-filtering in the detector circle and
the type of detection have a large influence on the audio results. Lots of hardware
