Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 63)

• The Transient Enhance, Maximum Gain, Ratio, Attack speed, Release speed, Target, Gate
Threshold, and Freeze Threshold controls work in the same manner as their counterparts in the
Wideband AGC1 section.
• The Wideband AGC2 dropdown control enables or disables the Wideband AGC2 section and
allows you to choose whether it is situated before or after the Multiband AGC section or used as a
dedicated Bass Compressor.
• If you use the AGC2 as a Bass Compressor, it will be situated after the Multiband section but will
affect only the lower bands, and allow you to push the bass a bit harder without over-driving the
final clipper or using excessively fast attack and release speeds in the lower bands of the Multiband
AGC.
• Bass Only (“BO”) employs a sidechain filter that allows only the audio from the lower bands to
affect gain, so only the lower frequencies are compressed above threshold.
• Bass Wideband (“BW”) also employs a sidechain filter, but one that contains the entire audio
spectrum, so the bass becomes more compressed when the entire mix is above threshold. This
mode is most useful when loudness is your primary processing goal, as it could allow full-scale
bass audio in circumstances when there is no mid-range or treble audio present. However, there
will be less bass present in situations when there are other frequencies present.
Wideband AGC3 Menu
The Wideband AGC3 menu operates in the same manner as Wideband AGC2, with all of the same
controls, but with one difference: It cannot be used as a wideband compressor before the multiband
section, only after. It can, however, be used in the Bass Only or Bass Wideband mode just like Wideband
AGC2.
Band Mix Menu
The Band Mix Menu allows you to adjust the final output of each band after all Wideband and Multiband
processing has been applied. It can be used very effectively to tailor the overall spectral balance of your
sound, but keep in mind that this is the final point of adjustment before the audio reaches the Final
Limiter. In other words, levels increased in the Band Mix section can only be controlled by final limiting,
which may result in unexpected or unwanted density on some material, so care is required when making
adjustments here.
