Hold knob
The Hold parameter is the time the IO FW810S continues to reduce gain
after the signal has dropped back below the threshold. Hold is adjustable
between 0 and 500 mSec and is dynamically set while in Auto mode.
Channel Strip Dynamics – Gain Fader
This boosts or cuts the signal’s gain level, and is adjustable between 20 and
–30 dB. This is a digital trim designed to be used to compensate for the gain
or reduction created by the Dynamics or EQ.
For example, if your compressor or limiter settings are reducing your sig-
nal level, you could increase the Gain fader to bring the level back up.
Conversely, if your EQ settings are pushing levels into clipping territory, you
could decrease the gain fader to lower the level.
EQ
Inputs 1-8 in the Mixer feature a parametric EQ where you can cut or boost
selected frequency bands. You can edit parameters with the control knobs
(described below), or you can click and drag the anchor points in the EQ's
display (shown above). To open or close the EQ for a specific channel, click
the EQ indicator/button just below the Gain Reduction meter/button for
that channel.
Note: To return to flat, set all knobs to 12 o’clock (double-click a knob to
return it to 12 o'clock).
Lo Shelf – top knob (–12 dB to 12 dB)
Sets the overall gain of the low shelf frequency.
Lo Shelf – bottom knob (40 Hz to 320 KHz)
Selects the frequency of the low shelf.
