Release (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level when the signal
drops below the threshold. If the Auto button is activated, the plug-in
automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material.
Graphical display
Use the graphical display to graphically set the threshold and ratio values. To
the left and right of the graphical display, you find two meters that show the
amount of gain reduction in dB.
Limiter Section
The limiter ensures that the output level never exceeds a set threshold, to avoid
clipping in following devices. Conventional limiters usually require very accurate
setting up of the attack and release parameters to prevent the output level from
going beyond the set threshold level. The limiter adjusts and optimizes these
parameters automatically according to the audio material.
Output (-24 to 6 dB)
Sets the maximum output level.
Soft Clip
If this button is activated, the signal is limited when the signal level exceeds
-6
dB. At the same time, harmonics are generated, adding a warm, tube-like
characteristic to the audio material.
Release (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level. If the Auto button
is activated, the plug-in automatically finds the best release setting for the
audio material.
Meters
The three meters show the input gain (IN), the gain reduction (GR) and the
output gain (OUT).
Module Configuration Button
Using the Module Configuration button in the bottom right corner of the plug-in
panel, you can set the signal flow order for the three processors. Changing the
order of the processors can produce different results, and the available options
allow you to quickly compare what works best for a given situation. Simply click the
Module Configuration button to change to a different configuration. There are
three routing options:
• C-G-L (Compressor-Gate-Limit)
• G-C-L (Gate-Compressor-Limit)
• C-L-G (Compressor-Limit-Gate)
