6.2.2 Dynamics
Dynamics processors include a variety of types, including compressors, limiters,
leveling amplifiers, transient designers, and de-essers. Each one differs in unique
ways, but each affects the dynamic range of the source over its duration. There are
8 insert effects that fall into this category:
• De-Esser
• Level Amp
• Limiter
• Limiting Amp
• SSL Bus Compressor
• SSL Channelstrip
• SSL Transient Shaper
• Tape Saturation
De-Esser
Control sibilants, which are hissing sounds produced by non pitched consonant sounds
at high amplitudes and frequencies, by setting the Threshold at which those frequencies
(between 3 khz and 12 khz) will be attenuated (reduced).
CONTROLS
Frequency Specify the frequency to attenuate between 3000 hz and 12 khz.
Listen Enable this switch to hear only what is being attenuated (reduced).
Threshold Specify the gain threshold (between -50 dB and 0 dB) at which signal will be attenuated.
Reduction A VU-meter that displays the amount of gain reduction in decibels (dB).
Amount Set the amount of attenuation (reduction) between 0% and 100%.
Level Amp
Reduce dynamic range similar to a compressor, only with fixed threshold and ratio con-
trols, and automatic gain makeup lost in the compression process.
CONTROLS
Input Gain Boost (+24 dB) or attenuate (-60 dB) the audio input gain.
Peak Reduction Set the minimum (0%) and maximum (100%) peak reduction.
