prominent part of the programme sound, and can be reduced without damaging the
sonic character of the results. If very short-term peaks are reduced, higher modulation
levels can be achieved without overloads. Since the look-ahead process timing can act
on the signal before it appears at the output of the plug-in, short-term peaks can be
effectively reduced without apparent loss of overall sonic character.
To achieve this effectively, small negative Transient Level and Transient Release values
should be used with the minimum Transient Attack setting, in order to catch the fastest
transients only. Coupled with an appropriate Transient Sensitivity setting transients can
be reduced by the required amount, allowing the overall level of the programme to be
increased before limiting occurs.
Since Envolution is an adaptive process that constantly changes with programme
content, the peak limiting function will not be as predictable and accurate as that
provided by a programme limiter.
