ADJUSTING PROCESSING PARAMETERS
Mode
Adjusts the coupling between each band’s gate and how the threshold controls interact. This coupling does not
directly affect target, hold, or release. Those controls are always completely independent.
When a band is set to “Master” the threshold for that band operates completely independent of the others, but the
gate activity for each band (if set to Master or Slave) is still coupled. When set to “Slave” the threshold for that
band’s gate is slaved to the “Master” bands and has no effect. When set to “Alone” that band’s gate activity and
threshold is completely de-coupled from the other bands.
If you wanted to essentially emulate a “wideband” gate, for example, you would set the mode of all three bands to
“Master” and set the threshold for all three bands identically.
Note:
For the following controls, the advanced tab includes individual adjustments for each band, as well
as an “All” adjustment that will modify all three values simultaneously. These “All” controls function
the same as the controls that appear on the “Basic” tab.
Threshold
Sets the input threshold level at which the gate for each band begins to open. Depending on how the bands are
coupled with “Mode” the behavior and interaction of these threshold controls will change.
Target
Sets the target “resting” level of attenuation for the gate when closed. Also known as the “floor” in some other gates.
Hold
Delays the “closing” of the gate by the specified amount of time when the input level falls below the threshold.
Release
Sets the speed (in dB per second) at which the gate closes once the input level falls below the specified threshold
and the hold time has passed.
Pre-EQ
This 4-Band Parametric EQ section allows adjustment of the frequency response prior to the main 3-Band process-
ing section.
