Dynamics Controls
In addition to the 6 band parametric equalizer, you can also enhance and finesse the input
and master output audio using dynamics controls. Where the equalizer lets you control the
frequencies within a signal, dynamics controls let you set how various levels behave. Levels
within the signal can be adjusted including expanding the dynamic range between low levels
and high levels, gating an input so you can choose what is stronger or softer within a signal,
or you can even use the compressor and limiter so that audio can be generally lifted and made
stronger without clipping.
Combined with equalizer controls, these features are extremely powerful, giving you the ability
to precisely shape and define the audio and generally optimize the sound of the master output.
This section describes the expander, gate, compressor and limiter controls.
The dynamics controls can be opened for
each input and the master output by clicking
on its corresponding dynamics indicator
Common Dynamics Settings
The expander/gate, compressor and limiter share common settings that let you shape
how each function affects the audio. For example the level at which the function
initiates, how long the function is applied, the strength of the function, etc. The settings
available differ depending on the dynamics control you are using.
Threshold Sets the sound level at which the function activates. For example, setting
the threshold for the compressor to -20dB tells your switcher to activate
compression when the signal rises above -20dB. Alternatively, setting the
expander to -40dB means the switcher will only initiate the expander once
the signal level drops below -40dB.
Range This setting defines the range of decibels affected by the function.
Ratio Defines the maximum strength of the function once initiated.
Attack Sets the smoothness of the function when it initiates. For example, a long
attack will allow the function to fade into the signal, blending in better
without drawing too much attention, whereas a short attack may be better
for complex sound activity with many quick variations where a longer
attack may cause artifacts.
Hold Sustains the dynamics function over an adjustable period of time.
Release Similar to attack but occurs at the end of the function activity. For example,
lets the dynamics function ease out gradually, or fall away rapidly, once the
level moves out of the threshold.
