Next, the mix parameter controls how much of the Sum in question gets added in to the
compressor's level detector along with the level from that channel group. For example, the mix
parameter for the LRF channel group determines what percentage of Sum
LRF
gets added into the
LRF group's level detector along with the level contributed by the LRF group itself. A value of
100% for the mix parameter means that the compressor sees all (100%) of the level from its own
channel group and 0% of the Sum level. A mix parameter of 75% means that the compressor sees
75% of the level from its own channel group and 25% of the Sum level. This is shown
schematically in Figure 11.
As shown in Figure 9, the LRF group contributes nothing to any of the Sums, the LRS group's
level is weighted by 50%, the center level is weighted by 100%, and the subwoofer level
contributes nothing to the Sums. Then, the front group compressor uses a mixture of 50% of the
LRF level and 50% of Sum
LRF
(which is equal to 50% of the LRS level plus 100% of the center
level).
The subwoofer compressor gets 100% of its level from the subwoofer level and nothing from the
other channels.
