LFO Type

Sets the rate at which signals are expanded, up to 5:1. For example, if the ratio is 5:1, a level decrease of 1 dB is expanded by 5

dB, resulting in a much faster decrease of the signal.

Reduces clipping in audio clips that contain peaks in the signal. For example, by leveling out peaks that exceed 0 dB in an audio file, the

overall level of the audio doesn’t have to be reduced below 0 dB to avoid clipping. Use the following controls with Limiter:

Specifies the maximum level of the signal, between –12 and 0 dB. All signals that exceed the threshold are reduced to the

same level as the threshold.

Specifies the time (between 10 and 500 milliseconds) required for the gain to return to the normal level after a clip occurs.

Reduces clipping similar to Limiter but doesn’t use hard limiting. This control adds an edge to some signals to better define them within

an overall mix.

EQ effect

The EQ effect acts as a parametric equalizer, meaning that it controls frequency, bandwidth, and level using multiple bands. The effect includes
three fully parametric mid bands, a high band, and a low band. The low and high bands are shelving filters, by default. Gain is constant over
frequency. The Cut control switches the low and high band from shelving to cutoff filters. Gain is fixed to -12 dB per octave and is deactivated in
cutoff mode.

Use the graphical controls in the Custom Setup view, or adjust values in the Individual Parameters view. In the Custom Setup view, you can
control the properties of the filter bands in the Frequency window by dragging band handles. Each band includes a control for Frequency and
Gain. Mid bands include two additional controls for adjusting the Q-factor. This effect is available for 5.1, stereo, or mono clips.

Specifies the amount by which to increase or decrease the band (between 20 and 20,000 Hz).

Specifies the amount by which to increase or decrease the band (between –20 and 20 dB).

Changes the functionality of the filter from shelving to cutoff.

Specifies the width of each filter band (between 0.05 and 5.0 octaves).

Specifies the amount of gain to compensate for increases or reductions of frequency bands on the output gain of the EQ.

Fill Left effect, Fill Right effect

The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right
channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left
channel information. Apply to stereo audio clips only.

Think of Fill Left as “fill from the left,” and think of Fill Right as “fill from the right.”

Flanger effect

Flanging is an audio effect caused by mixing a varying, short delay in roughly equal proportion to the original signal. It was originally achieved by
sending an identical audio signal to two reel-to-reel tape recorders, and then pressing the flange of one reel to slow it down. Combining the two
resulting recordings produced a phase-shifted, time-delay effect, characteristic of psychedelic music of the 1960s and 1970s. The Flanger effect
lets you create a similar result by slightly delaying and phasing a signal at specific or random intervals.

Specifies the wave type for the Low Frequency Oscillator: Sin(e), Rect(angle), or Tri(angle).
