Table 3-5: Multi-Band Controls
These controls are explained in detail below.
Each Multi-Band Factory Preset has a LESS-MORE control that adjusts on-air loudness
by altering the amount of processing.
LESS-MORE
simultaneously adjusts all of the
processing controls to optimize the trade-offs between unwanted side effects.
If you wish, you may adjust the
FULL CONTROL
parameters to your own taste. Always
start with LESS-MORE to get as close to your desired sound as possible. Then edit the
FULL CONTROL
parameters using the Full Control screen, and save those edits to a User
Preset.
AGC ON/OFF control activates or defeats the slow AGC prior to the multi-band com-
pressor.
AGC DRIVE control adjusts signal level going into the slow AGC, and therefore deter-
mines the amount of gain reduction in the AGC. This also adjusts the “idle gain” — the
amount of gain reduction in the AGC section when the structure is gated. (It gates when-
ever the input level to the structure is below the threshold of gating.)
The total amount of gain reduction in the Multi-Band structure is the sum of the gain
reduction in the AGC and the gain reduction in the multi-band compressor. The total
system gain reduction determines how much the loudness of quiet passages will be in-
creased (and, therefore, how consistent overall loudness will be). It is determined by the
