Included Effect Plug-ins
Dynamics Plug-ins
Soft Knee
If this button is deactivated, signals above the threshold are compressed instantly
according to the set ratio (hard knee). If Soft Knee is activated, the onset of
compression is more gradual, producing a less drastic result.
Make-Up (0 to 24 dB or Auto mode)
Compensates for output gain loss, caused by compression. If the Auto button is
activated, the knob becomes dark and the output is automatically adjusted for
gain loss.
Attack (0.1 to 100 ms)
Determines how fast the compressor responds to signals above the set
threshold. If the attack time is long, more of the early part of the signal passes
through unprocessed.
Hold (0 to 5000 ms)
Sets the time the applied compression affects the signal after exceeding the
threshold. Short hold times are useful for DJ-style ducking, while longer
hold times are required for music ducking, for example, when working on a
documentary film.
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.
Analysis (Pure Peak to Pure RMS)
Determines whether the input signal is analyzed according to peak or RMS
values, or a mixture of both. A value of 0 is pure peak and 100 pure RMS. RMS
mode operates using the average power of the audio signal as a basis, whereas
Peak mode operates more on peak levels. As a general guideline, RMS mode
works better on material with few transients such as vocals, and Peak mode
works better for percussive material with a lot of transient peaks.
Live
If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is deactivated.
Look-ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a specific amount
of latency as a trade-off. If Live mode is activated, there is no latency, which is
better for live processing.
DeEsser
This effect reduces excessive sibilance, primarily for vocal recordings. It is a special type of
compressor that is tuned to be sensitive to the frequencies produced by the s-sound.
