DUCKING Dynamics Parameters Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications in which the background music level is reduced automatically when an announcer speaks. When the KEY IN source signal level exceeds the specified THRESHOLD, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (RANGE). Dynamics Parameters are the following types.
COMPRESSOR EXPANDER The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the level to the threshold. This means that the limiter's output level never actually exceeds the threshold. An expander attenuates signals below a specified THRESHOLD by a specified RATIO. Parameter THRESHOLD (dB) Range Parameter Description This determines the level at which compression is applied.
COMPANDER HARD (COMPANDER-H), COMPANDER SOFT (COMPANDER-S) Effect Type List Output Level The hard and soft companders combine the effects of the compressor, expander and limiter. THRESHOLD WIDTH 0dB Input Level The companders function differently at the following levels: 1 0 dB and higher ..................................Functions as a limiter. 2 Exceeding the threshold ....................Functions as a compressor. 3 Below the threshold and width ..........Functions as an expander.
