Dynamics Plug-ins

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 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.

NOTE

If side-chaining is supported, the expansion can also be controlled from another signal source via

the side-chain input. If the side-chain signal exceeds the threshold, the expansion is triggered.

For a description of how to set up side-chain routing, see the Operation Manual.

Gate

Gating, or noise gating, silences audio signals below a set threshold. As soon as the signal level

exceeds the threshold, the gate opens to let the signal through.
