1. Engage the gate with the on/o button.
2. Adjust the Threshold that the audio must reach in order to bypass the
gate. Any audio that does not register beyond the threshold setting will be
mutedautomatically.
3. Press this button to open the preset list where your settings can be saved
can recalled.
1. Engage the gate with the on/o button.
2. Gate Type buttons allow various types of gates to be selected. The EXP2,
3and 4 settings reduce the output by varying amounts, allowing a natural-
sounding reduction of signals that don’t reach the selected threshold.
TheGate setting enables a more aggressive drop in volume for signals
below the threshold. An additional Range parameter adjusts the amount of
attenuation. The Ducker setting attenuates the signal by a predetermined
amount whenever the signal rises beyond the selected threshold. The Range
parameter adjusts the amount of attenuation for this setting as well.
3. Adjust the Threshold that the audio must reach in order to bypass the gate or
engage the Ducker.
4. The Range parameter adjusts the amount of signal attenuation for the
Gateand Ducker settings.
5. Adjust the Attack knob to set how quickly the gate takes eect when the
input signal drops below the threshold.
6. Adjust the Hold knob to set how long the input signal must surpass the
threshold before bypassing the gate.
7. Adjust the Release knob to set how quickly the gate releases after the audio
rises above the threshold.
8. Engage the Key Filter with the on/o button.
9. Select a high-pass, low-pass or mid peak frequency and slope for the key
lter. The specic frequency can be selected by dragging the line across the
frequency chart.
10. Press the Advanced button to select between normal and advanced
gateoperation.
11. Access the Key Filter parameters by pressing this button.
12. Select a source for the key lter.
5.5 Dynamics
A channel’s dynamics can be adjusted on this page. A compressor is useful for
reducing the dynamic range of a signal, allowing the perceived volume in the mix
to be raised without clipping. An expander can add dynamics by attenuating a
signal when it drops below the predetermined threshold.
1. Engage the compressor with the on/o button.
2. Adjust the Threshold at which the compressor begins to take eect.
Audiothat falls below this setting will remain unaected.
3. Press this button to open the preset list where your settings can be saved
can recalled.
1. Engage the dynamics processor with the on/o button.
2. Adjust the Threshold at which the compressor begins to take eect.
Audiothat falls below this setting will remain unaected.
3. Adjust the Knee to allow the compressor to have a more gradual eect on
the signal. When the Knee is set fully to the left (hard knee), any signals that
rise above the threshold will receive the full compression ratio right away.
4. Select between a compressor or expander to set the action of the
dynamicsprocessor.
5. Adjust the Ratio to determine how aggressively the dynamics are aected.
6. The Wet/Dry ratio determines how much of the signal is left unaected by
the processor.
