Knee
Adjust this control to set the desired character of the compression.
• Higher settings result in a “soft knee” setting with a subtler, natural sounding compression.
• Lower settings result in a “hard knee” setting with a more aggressive sounding compression,
often used as an intended eect on individual tracks such as kick and snare drum.
Mid/Side Controls
The Dynamics module can operate in either Stereo or Mid/Side operation. See the Mid/Side
Processing section for more details.
Visuals
The display at the top of the Dynamics module oers three separate displays:
• Crossover View
• Detection Filter
• Gain Reduction Trace
To view a given display type, click on its icon on the left side of the display
Crossover View
This view displays the multiband information and crossover points for the module. For more
information, see the Using Multiband Modules section.
Detection Filter View
This view allows you to specify the frequency response of the detection circuit used by the dynamics
processor, so that it is less sensitive to lower frequencies. This is particularly useful when using the
Dynamics module in single-band mode.
You can choose between the following modes:
None: No filter is applied to the module. The detection circuit is equally sensitive across all
frequencies.
High-pass: A high-pass filter is applied to the module. You can make the following adjustments to the
filter:
• Click the “slope” label to cycle through filter slopes (6, 12, 24, and 48 dB).
• Click and drag the frequency node, on the high-pass filter display to select the frequency of the
high-pass filter.
Tilt: Similar to the THRUST circuit found on API compressors, Tilt mode preserves low frequencies
using a high-frequency weighted filter curve. You may adjust the amount of slope in the filter curve by
adjusting the Amount value.
