Control Dialogs
Leveler
Levelers are automatic gain controls, which affect long-term
average levels. Response Time determines how quickly the
Leveler reacts to input level changes. Threshold determines what
input level will trigger gain reduction. To maintain a consistent level,
set Threshold to lowest desired level. A meter & numeric display
indicate the amount of gain reduction. Identifier provides a custom
label, when dialog box is minimized (see below). Bypass disables
the Leveler without changing settings.
Right-clicking over certain settings will provide a menu of additional
options. Control Dialog Boxes for Levelers can be minimized to
create user control surfaces (see
Customizing Component
Objects ).
Comp/Limiter
Comp/Limiters affect short-term signal dynamics
(peaks). Attack determines how quickly the
Comp/Limiter reacts to input level changes.
Compression Ratio
determines the intensity of gain
reduction (input level increase vs. output level
increase). Release Time determines how quickly
gain reduction is released, once input signal falls
below Threshold. Threshold determines what input
level will trigger gain reduction. A meter & numeric
display indicate the amount of gain reduction.
Bypass
disables the Comp/Limiter without changing
settings. Identifier provides a custom label, when
dialog box is minimized (see below).
Right-clicking over certain settings will provide a
menu of additional options. Control Dialog Boxes for
Comp/Limiters can be minimized to create user
control surfaces (see
Customizing Component
Objects ).
