Dynamics Processing
A comprehensive dynamics processing module. Functions available include one gate, one expander,
two compressors, one limiter, and a de-esser. The operation of each of these effects is interrelated in
this comprehensive dynamics processor, and the user interface shows the operative dynamic range
where each process takes effect.
Thresholds
Threshold controls set the level above or below which the plug-in will affect the dynamics of the input
signal. All the threshold settings are on the right of the window. From the bottom up, Gate, Expander,
Compressor 1, Compressor 2, Limiter, and Input Reference Level.
Reference Level
Sets the input level reference. E.g, setting the reference level to -20 would mean an input level of -20dB
is considered to be the equivalent of unity gain for purpose of calculating the input threshold levels for
all dynamics processes. The reference level value is variable between 0dB (unity gain) to -30dB.
Ratios / Slope
Limit and Gate have fixed ratios, tending to infinity. Ratio settings for the Expander and Compressors
are to the left of their respective Threshold controls.
