MD 5.1
Introduction
TheMD-5.1algorithmisamulti-channelmulti-band
Expander/Compressor,with
Limiters and extensive possibilities to assign channels to
multiple Sidechains.
BasedontheMD-2andFinalizerheritage,four-band
dynamicsarehereavailablefor5.1-productions.Withthe
MD-5.1itispossibletointegratedynamicsprocessing
ina5.1environmentofferingfeatures,whichwillnotbe
possible if using multiple stereo dynamic processors.
TogetherwiththeEQ-5.1andToolbox-5.1algorithms,
MD-5.1isaninnovative
packageofmasteringtoolsformulti-channelproductions.
The MD-5.1 algorithm contains:
• 5channelsofthreebandexpansionandcompression
• Full-rangebrickwalllimiteronallOutputs
• 1channeloffullrangeexpansion,compressionand
limitingfortheLFEchannel
• 3Sidechainsforthefivemainchannels,thatcanbe
assigned in a flexible way
• 1extraInputchannelthatcanbeusedforexternalSide
Chain input.
Toutilizethealgorithmcorrectly,makesurethattheInputs
and Outputs are
connected as follows:
Enginechannel1:LeftFront,LFr
Enginechannel2:RightFront,RFr
Enginechannel3:Center,Cnt
Enginechannel4:LowFreqEffects,LFE
Enginechannel5:LeftSurround,LSr
Enginechannel6:RightSurround,RSr
Enginechannel7:ExternalSidechaininput,Xt1(noOutput
available)
InthefollowingtheparametersinMD-5.1willbe
explained.ForfurtherinformationregardingMasteringand
multibanddynamicsprocessing,pleaseseethe“In-Depth
Information” chapter in this manual.
The MD - 5.1 algorithm occupies:
@ Normal Sample Rate : 1/4 DSP Resource
@ Double Sample Rate : 2/4 DSP Resource
Algorithm Inputs/Outputs are distributed as follows:
Main
At the Main page you have access to the general set-up
parametersfortheExpanderandCompressorsections.
Meters are shown for all seven Inputs and six Outputs at
the right of the display.
Band Xover Frequencies
Lo Xover
Range:Offto16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Lo- and the
Mid-ExpanderandCompressorbandsforthefivemain
channels(LFr,RFr,Cnt,LSr,RSr).
The two Cross-over points are not allowed to cross
each other. Therefore the parameter range can be
lessthan16kHziftheHiXoverparameterisset
below16kHz.
Hi Xover
Range:Offto16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Mid- and the
Hi-ExpanderandCompressorbandsforthefivemain
channels(LFr,RFr,Cnt,LSr,RSr).
The two cross-over points are not allowed to cross
each other. Therefore the parameter range can be
less than going down to Off, if the Lo Xover
parameter is set above the Off position.
