Peaking: Here the effect curve is brought closer to the working point (which
represents the peak of the curve) from both sides simultaneously.
Shelving (Basic setting): Here the working point displays the beginning of the
filter curve. From this point on there is a gentle increase or decrease in the
frequency.
High or Low Pass:In Band 1 the working point displays the frequency which is
filtered out of particularly high or low frequencies.
MultiMax
MultiMax is a compressor with three independent frequency bands. The dynamics
are edited separately for each band.
The advantage of a multi-band compressor versus a "normal" compressor is that the
"pumping" tendency and other unwanted side effects are dramatically reduced while
editing the dynamics. For instance, it can prevent a peak in the bass range from
suppressing the entire signal.
Multiband technology also lets you specifically edit individual frequency ranges.
Link: When this function is activated and one controller is adjusted, all controllers are
changed at the same ratio. However, the way the dynamics are edited is not affected.
Setting the frequency bands: The settings of the frequency bands are changed
directly in the graphic. Simply click on the separator lines and move them.
Lo/Mid/Hi: These knobs define the level of compression for each frequency band.
Presets: MultiMax has a selection of presets for various applications.
Stereo FX
With the Stereo FX Enhancer you can determine the positioning of the audio material
in the stereo balance. If stereo recordings sound unfocused and undifferentiated, an
extension of the stereo base width can often provide better transparency.
