Dynamics processors can be difficult to work with at first, because they both reduce

worksbyloweringthedynamicrange—andbyextension,thegain—ofasignal,
but it also gives you a make-up gain controlthat allowsyou to get some of that
back. If you apply a lot of gain reduction to a signal,then boost it toofar with the

动态处理器一开始可能很难操作，因为它们既能减少增益又能放大增益。让
我们先看一下压缩器。压缩器的工作原理是降低信号的动态范围，进而降低
其增益，但它也给你提供了一个补偿增益控制，使你能重新获得一些增益。
如果你将大量的增益降低到一个信号上，然后用补充增益将其提升得太远，
你的声音就会很快变得非常不流畅。就像

一样，只有在你需要的时候才压
缩信号（除非你用它来做创造性的效果），并且只有在你需要的时候才回升
它的增益，使它能够穿过你的混音。
Step 3: Setting Your Mix—The Unity Myth

有一
个不幸的传言，在音频专家互联网的黑暗角落里持续存在。它说，你所
有的推子都应该设置为统一（推子标记中间的那条粗线为
0dB
）。但是，
如果你这样做，你会限制你的信号的动态范围，而且不是一个好的方式。

你的推子旁边的粗体标记只意味着一件事。
通道和输出混合电平控制并没有为你的信号增加或减少
任何振幅（音量）。

为什么你需

With the channeland the main faders at unity, you can listen to an individual
channel unadulterated while you’re setting your input gain level and adjusting
your EQ and dynamics to sculpt the sound. Once that’s done, the fat line in the
middle of the channel has largely served its purpose. Are you getting too much
of your animated guest caller in your headphones? By all means, go ahead and
lower it. Need to give your own channel a little gas to compete? That’s what that
10 dB above unity is for.
在通道和主推子处于统一的情况下，你可以在设置输入
增益水平和调整均衡器和动态来雕刻声音的时候，不加修饰地聆听单个通道。一
旦这样做了，通道中间的肥厚线就基本上达到了它的目的。你是否在耳机中得到
了太多你的动画嘉宾来电？通过各种手段，继续降低它。需要给你自己的频道加
点油来竞争吗？这就是高于统一标准的

分贝的作用。
