Compressor/Limiter III — Dynamics III (RTAS and AudioSuite)
The Compressor/Limiter III plug-in applies either compression or limiting to audio material,
depending on the ratio of compression used.
Parameter Description
Gain Lets you adjust the input volume of the chorus to prevent clipping or to increase the level of the
processed signal. This slider is set to a default of +3 dB. If you recorded your source audio close
to peak level, this +3 dB default setting might cause clipping. Use this control to reduce the
input level.
Sum Inputs
button
When you use the Chorus plug-in in Stereo mode, a Sum Inputs button appears next to the right
channel Gain slider. Clicking the Sum Inputs button sums the source input signals (regardless of
whether the input is mono or stereo) before processing them. The source signal then appears in
the center of the stereo field, and the processed signal is output in stereo. When you click the
Sum Inputs button, the LFO waveform on the right channel is automatically phase-inverted to
enhance the mono to stereo effect.
Mix Lets you adjust the balance between the Dry (source) signal and the Wet (processed) signal,
giving you control over the depth of the effect.
Low Pass
Filter
Controls the cutoff frequency of the Low Pass Filter, allowing you to attenuate the high
frequency content of the feedback signal. The lower the setting, the more high frequencies are
removed from the feedback signal. The range of the Low Pass Filter is 20 Hz to 19.86 kHz, with
a maximum value of Off (which effectively means bypass).
Delay Sets the delay time between the source signal and the processed signal. The higher the setting,
the longer the delay and the wider the chorusing effect. Delay is adjustable from
0 to 20 milliseconds.
LFO Rate Lets you adjust the rate of the low frequency oscillator (LFO) applied to the delayed signal as
modulation. The higher the setting, the more rapid the modulation. You can select either a sine
wave or a triangle wave as a modulation source, using the LFO Waveform selector.
LFO Width Lets you adjust the intensity of the LFO applied to the delayed signal as modulation. The higher
the setting, the more intense the modulation. Use the LFO Waveform selector to select a sine or
a triangle wave as a modulation source.
Feedback Controls the amount of feedback applied from the output of the delayed signal back into its
input. Negative settings provide a more intense effect.
LFO
Waveform
Selects a sine wave or triangle wave for the LFO. This affects the character of the modulation.
The sine wave has a gentler ramp and peak than the triangle wave.
