12.6 5 Band Compressor, Modern TC style
This is a completely renewed 5-band dynamics algorithm, with a rened dynamic precision behavior and Linear Phase crossover lter design. It is an extension to the
TC Electronic multiband dynamics processor history which includes the MD4 algorithm from System 6000.
High-rate calculations provide the extra benet of very low inter-modulation distortion and precise handling of transient details in the signal. The 5 band compressor
is a downward compressor with a per-band sidechain, where material over a certain Threshold will be more and more aected by the compressor, as set by the Ratio
control. Use this 5 band compressor for the highest degree of transparency in the dynamics processing.
Makeup gain will compensate for the attenuation introduced by the compression. The makeup gain is takes into account the spectral energy distribution of music,
such that the makeup gain applied will also reduce spectral discoloration that could result from multi-band compression without makeup gain. If makeup gain is OFF, a
similar eect can be achieved manually using the Band gain of the bands.
Further features are high resolution, double precision, innite headroom.
Parameters include:
• Linkable controls: Threshold, Ratio, Gain, Attack, Release
• Threshold: -60.0 to +10.0 dB
• Ratio: 1.00:1 to Innity:1
• Gain: -20.0 to +20.0 dB
• Crossover frequency:
• 40.00 Hz to 1.250 kHz (Low)
• 80.00 Hz to 2.500 kHz (Low Mid)
• 160.0 Hz to 5.000 kHz (High Mid)
• 320.0 Hz to 10.00 kHz (High)
• Attack: 1.0 to 100 ms
• Release: 10 to 1000 ms
• Makeup gain: on/o
• Solo: on/o
• Gain reduction meters: Range 0.0 to –18.0 dB
12.7 Stereo Width
The stereo width module aects the stereo balance and width of the track, and the controls are adjustable in the Edit View section. The Side/Mid parameter is
intelligently loudness-compensated, and there are no major loudness changes when adjusting the Side/Mid ratio with typical music mixes. The Mid Pan will pan and
position only the Mid part of the signal between left and right. The L/R Balance should generally be adjusted if there is a clear imbalance between the left and right
channel.
Parameters include:
• Side/Mid Ratio: 0 to 2.0 (0 = mono, 1.0 = original, 2.0 = 6 dB increase in side compared to mid signal)
• Mid Pan: -50% to +50% (pan of Mid signal only)
• LR Balance: -50% to +50%
