Value Explanation
DYNAMICS
-20–+20
This adjusts the variation in volume
between loud and soft passages in the
performance.
Raising this setting will decrease the
variation in volume. Although this is a
convenient way to improve the overall
loudness for your song, it will decrease
the natural dynamics of the music.
Lowering this setting will increase
the variation in volume; while this
will make it dicult to obtain overall
loudness for your song, the music
will be closer to the natural dynamic
variation of the original performance.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
eect will produce its standard eect.
TONE
-6–+6
If you raise this setting, the low-
frequency and high-frequency ranges
will be boosted, producing a more
aggressive tone.
If you lower this setting, the low-
frequency and high-frequency ranges
will not be boosted, and the tone will
be mild.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
eect will produce its standard eect.
NATURAL
-50–+50
If you raise this setting, the mastering
eect will be applied more gently,
producing a more natural impression.
Since sudden peaks in volume will still
be reproduced without modication,
this will make it more dicult to boost
the overall loudness.
If you lower this setting, the mastering
eect will be applied more rapidly to
sudden volume peaks, but the sense of
naturalness will be impaired.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
eect will produce its standard eect.
