GAIN REDUCTION
METER
The Gain Reduction
Meter displays the
amount of compression
taking place. If the
frequency and
threshold controls
are set properly, the
meter will display
little gain reduction
during vowel sounds
and soft consonants,
and substantial gain
reduction during
sibilants. For this
reason, the meter is a
useful tool when setting
the other controls.
SIDE CHAIN
High Pass
Frequency
This control sets the
frequency of SYBIL
Evo’s side-chain high
pass filter. The goal is
to set the frequency
such that the filter
passes any sibilance
(thereby keying the
compressor), but not
any of the desired
signal.
Command (Mac)/
Control (PC) click the
control to reset it to
its default value of
8000 Hz.
COMPRESSOR
Threshold
This control sets the threshold level
of SYBIL Evo’s compressor. The
range is from 0 dB to -80 dB. In
most cases, the default value of -48
dB is a good place to start.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click
the control to reset it to its default
value of -48 dB.
Compression
This control sets the compression
ratio of SYBIL Evo’s compressor.
The range is from 1.0:1 to 99:1. In
most cases, the default value of
2.4:1 is a good place to start.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC) click
the control to reset it to its default
value of 2.4:1.
