Amplitude/Normalize > Set zero
Sample data values in a selected range are set to zero to eliminate noise and
imperfections in a sample (reversible).
Dynamics
Dynamics
Fundamentally, the compressor is an automated, dynamic volume controller. The
dynamics of a piece are limited, loud sequences remain loud, quiet sequences become
louder. Compression is often used to add power to audio material or to increase the
loudness. The level of compression is adjusted by the ratio controller, while the
activation threshold is determined by the threshold. You can also influence the attack
and release.
Editing is carried out using a “look-ahead” method, similar to high-quality studio
appliances. There are no peak over-modulations or other artifacts, as the algorithm
can never be ‘surprised’ by sudden level peaks.
Sensor field: You can intuitively influence the sensor field of the compressor with
mouse movements. The graphics color and the respective effect settings change in
response to each other.
Ratio: This parameter controls the amount of compression.
Threshold: Set the threshold, above which compression is applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction speed 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 speed to falling sound levels.
A/B: If you have selected a preset for the effect and make manual changes to it later,
you can compare the original preset sound with the new settings by using the A/B-
button.
Reset: This resets the effect device to its original neutral starting point where minimal
processing power is required and no effect is added to the sound.
Load/Save: Here you can save the current settings as an effect file so that they can be
used on other projects as well.
