Compressor
The compressor is an automated, dynamic volume adjustment controller: louder
passages become quieter and quiet passages become louder. A compressor is useful
to make spoken passages more audible against background noise or music in case a
simple increase of the overall volume is insufficient. Several useful presets are
included for this purpose, however compression may also be set manually.
Ratio: This parameter controls the compression level.
Threshold: This sets the volume threshold below and above which compression is
applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to increasing sound levels.
Release: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to falling sound levels.
Gain: The gain controller amplifies the compressed signal.
MAGIX Mastering Suite
MAGIX Mastering Suite is a special effect rack for use with the mixer master channel.
Its effects serve the so-called "Mastering" with which the finished mixed music file is
given its last "cut".
The On/Off switches can switch the effects on and off individually. Each effect offers
a number of presets, which can be selected from a list on the bottom edge of the
effect.
The settings of all effects can also be saved
together as one preset so that you can use your
ideal mastering setting again for other
arrangements.
Each effect can be reset by pressing the "Reset" button.
Note: 5.1 Surround mode only provides the compressor (view page 190) and
parametric equalizer devices in this case.
6 Band Equalizer
The parametric equalizer has six filter bands that you can use to shape the sound of
the music track. Each band is a filter with a typical "bell shape". Within a certain
frequency range around an adjustable middle frequency you can increase or reduce
the signal level gain. The width of this frequency range is called bandwidth. The
