Dynamics Plug-ins
Threshold (-60 to 0
dB)
Determines the level where the expansion kicks in. Only signal levels below the
set threshold are processed.
Ratio
Sets the amount of gain boost applied to signals below the threshold.
Soft Knee
If this button is deactivated, signals below the threshold are expanded instantly
according to the set ratio (hard knee). If Soft Knee is activated, the onset of
expansion is more gradual, producing less drastic results.
Fall (0.1 to 100
ms)
Determines how fast the expander responds to signals below the set threshold.
If the fall time is long, more of the early part of the signal passes through
unprocessed.
Hold (0 to 2000
ms)
Sets the time the applied expansion affects the signal below the threshold.
Rise (10 to 1000
ms or Auto mode)
Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level when the
signal exceeds the threshold. If the Auto Rise button is activated, the plug-in
automatically finds the best rise 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
