About Eect Types
156
EXPANDER Tab
EXPANDER ON Expander on/o
ATTACK
Interval until application of the expander
eect starts after the input level falls below the
threshold level
RELEASE
Interval until application of the expander eect
ends after the input level surpass the threshold
level
THRESHOLD
Volume level at which application of the
expander eect starts
RATIO
Ratio of output compression when the input level
falls below the threshold level
COMPRESSOR Tab
COMPRESSOR ON Compressor on/o
ATTACK
Interval until application of the compressor eect
starts after the input level exceeds the threshold
level
RELEASE
Interval until application of the compressor
eect ends after the input level falls below the
threshold level
THRESHOLD
Volume level at which application of the
compressor eect starts
RATIO
Ratio of output compression when the level is
exceeded
Memo
The compressor automatically corrects the level to optimal
based on the settings for the threshold level (THRESHOLD) and
ratio (RATIO). Also, because longer attack times (ATTACK) can
cause distortion, a margin of -6 dB is applied. Adjust the mixer
(L/M/H MIX) level on X-OVER tab as required.
LIMITER Tab
LIMITER ON Limiter on/o
SOFT CLIP
Suppresses prominent distortion when extreme
compressor/limiter eect is applied
ATTACK
Interval until application of the limiter eect
starts after the input level exceeds the threshold
level
RELEASE
Interval until application of the limiter eect ends
after the input level falls below the threshold
level
THRESHOLD
Volume level at which application of the limiter
eect starts
OUTPUT
Overall volume level after passing through the
limiter
