OVERVIEW OVERVIEW 9 8 Consecutive Clipping Indicator Band levels Crossover Frequencies Input/Output PPM Meters Limiter Soft Clip Indication Input Level Output Level 3-Band Compressor Controls 3-Band E.
O O U U T T P P U U T T Sets the Output level. Make sur e you set the OUTPUT LEVEL properly , i.e. make sure there are no clips displayed in the OUTPUT METERS.
R R a a t t i i o o Determines the amount of compression, the higher the ratio the “ stronger ” the processing and the lower the remaining dynamics range. R R a a n n g g e e / / A A t t t t a a c c k k The Compressor’ s attack time determines how fast the compressor will react on signals exceeding the threshold.
T T a a r r g g e e t t F F a a c c t t o o r r The T arget F actor allows fast editing of the relation betw een the 3 bands, separately for each module. For example: With just one move of the T ar get F actor in the Limiter block, you can increase the focus of the Limiter block on the hi frequency spectrum.
Let’ s set the Attack and R elease T imes to remove the “ pumping” from the sound. W e start with small values for both parameters. If the attack time is too short, we may remove some “kick ” from the material. That’ s certainly not what we want, so if it happens, try a greater value.
Use the Expander car efully . The modulated noise of the ground floor level is much more audible than a higher ground floor level without such modulation. The Expander’ s thr eshold must be lower than the compressor’ s threshold. If you raise it too much, you might cut into low parts of the signal, such as reverb tails.
