Included Effect Plug-ins
Dynamics Plug-ins
Expander Section
You can specify the Threshold and Ratio by moving breakpoints or using the corresponding
knobs. The first breakpoint from which the line deviates from the straight diagonal is the
threshold point.
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.
Maximum Reduction
Sets the maximum amount by which the level is reduced when the signal falls below
the set threshold.
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.
Output
Sets the output level.
Side-Chain Section
Frequency
If the Side-Chain button is activated, this sets the frequency of the side-chain filter.
Q-Factor
If the Side-Chain button is activated, this sets the resonance or width of the filter.
Side-Chain
Activates the internal side-chain filter. The side-chain signal can then be shaped
according to the filter parameters. Side-chaining is useful for tailoring how the effect
operates.
Monitor
Allows you to monitor the filtered signal.
