eshold and Energy Detector
This meter displays the sidechain energy in dBFS. The energy meter and threshold slider are aligned
for easy adjustment and visual feedback. The threshold sets the level above which attenuation occurs
in the sidechain. To adjust the threshold, drag the slider down or lower the value in the Threshold
field until the sibilance is sufficiently reduced.

e! Lowering the threshold too much results in a muffled sound. Listen to the track in context
because the other tracks will mask the sibilance
Attenuation
This meter displays instantaneous gain reduction (attenuation in dB). The attenuation meter
includes a Peak Hold value at the bottom (click to reset).
