Bass/Mid/High: These knobs control the level of compression for each frequency
band.
Presets: In MultiMax you can use the presets to open two more special functions.
• Cassette NR-B decoder: MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013 simulates decoding of
Dolby B + C noise suppression if no Dolby player is available. Casettes recorded
with Dolby B or C sound more muffled and slurry if played back without
corresponding Dolby.
• DeEsser: These special presets are for removing overstressed hiss sounds from
speech recordings.
Dynamics
The compressor is an automated dynamic volume control. It limits overall dynamics,
maintains the volume of loud passages so they stay loud, and increases the volume of
low passages. A compressor can be put to good use for e. g bass recordings and
vocals, but also as a master effect in the mixer for subsequent editing of the overall
sound.
Processing is carried out using a "look-ahead" method, similar to high-quality studio
appliances. There are no peak overmodulations or other artifacts as the algorithm can
never be 'surprised' by sudden level peaks.
Ratio: This parameter controls the compression level.
Threshold: This sets the volume threshold below and above which compression is
applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to increasing sound levels. Short attack
times can create an undesirable "pumping" sound, as the volume is quickly reduced or
increased correspondingly.
Release: Sets the algorithm's reaction time to falling sound levels.
Gain: The gain controller amplifies the compressed signal.
Presets: Here you'll find settings for a variety of standard applications of the
compressor.
