Precision Maximizer Controls
Control knobs for the Precision Maximizer behave the same way as all UAD
plug-ins. Input, Shape, Mix, and Output values can be modified with text en-
try. See “Text Entry” on page 79 for more information.
Input Meter The stereo peak Input Meter displays the signal level at the input
of the processor, after the Input control.
0dB represents digital full scale (0dBFS). Precision Maximizer can
utilize input signals up to +6dB at the input before input clipping
occurs.
The displayed range is from –40dB to +6dB.
Input The Input Level knob controls the signal level that is input to
the plug-in. Increasing the input will generally result in
more processing (depending on the settings of the other
parameters).
By increasing the Input knob, input levels higher than
0dBFS (up to +6dBFS) within the plug-in can be processed.
This can increase the distortion characteristic at the output,
particularly when the Limit function (“Limit” on page 293) is engaged.
The available range is ±12dB. A good starting point for sonic experimenta-
tion is to set the input level so the input peaks occur around 0dB, then adjust
the other controls to taste.
