Included Effect Plug-ins
Dynamics Plug-ins
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 (attack)
passes through unprocessed.
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
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)
