The degree to which each dynamics detector band influences and controls each expander
band is determined by a 5 x 5 slider matrix. Each column represents a dynamics detector
band, while each row represents an expander band.
The default (and recommended) settings are set up so that each expander band controlled
almost entirely by its corresponding dynamics detector band, but with some control
provided by surrounding dynamics detector bands. Higher values mean a particular
dynamics detector band has more influence over a particular expander band, and vice versa.
Please note that in order to provide a means by which to allow one dynamics detector band
to provide 100% of the control over a single expander band, every control must be designed
to go all the way to 100. When one control is set to 100 and other controls in that band are
set to a value higher than 0, thereby causing a sum greater than 100, Undo interprets that
information and adjusts the settings of each band to maintain the desired proportion of
influence you have set for each band relative to 100.
Peak Detector Menu
Undo measures audio peaks as a means by which to set the expander thresholds based upon the
incoming program audio. The Peak Detector Menu controls the attack and release speed of each
band of Undo’s Peak Detectors.
The Attack speed controls determine how quickly Undo reacts to incoming audio peaks.
Faster settings will make Undo more reactive to smaller incoming peaks by raising the
threshold. Slower settings will effectively lower the threshold.
The Release speed controls determine how quickly Undo allows the peak values to fall back
toward the actual audio levels. Faster times will cause the peak levels to fall more quickly.
