TARGET sets the reference range for vocal mix positioning. Since Gain Riding is relative
to the Target position, changing the Target setting will move the Rider Fader’s ‘0’
calibration, re-focusing the correct level range.
Range: 0 to -42 dBFS
Default: -21
SPILL differentiates between vocal signal and unwanted ambient stage noise, to provide
better tracking. (Vocal Rider Live components only)
Range: -12 to -48 dBFS
Default: -48
VOCAL SENSITIVITY controls the vocal detector sensitivity, which differentiates vocal
content from noise floor, spill, and ambience, and identifies the beginnings and endings
of words.
Range: -12 to +12 dB
Default: 0
VOCAL ACTIVITY DISPLAY indicates when vocal activity is detected.
Range: Ride, Idle
Default: Idle
