More CLARITY
We can obtain extra clarity and quality in several ways.
Multi-band AGC:
Slow down the release times, making them slower.
Multi-band Limiters:
Speed up the peak attack times, letting less through to the clippers.
Slow down the release times of the average release time constants.
Speed up the average attack time so that the average time constants dominate the control signal providing slower
control.
Decrease the master limiter drive.
Decrease the individual limiter drives.
Final clippers:
Decrease the final clipper drive.
Decrease the clipper hardness control.
Decrease the composite clipper drive.
WE SUGGEST ONLY SMALL MODIFICATIONS FROM FACTORY PRESET SETTINGS IF YOU ARE
MODIFYING LOTS OF THE PARAMETERS. IF YOU ARE ADJUSTING ONLY A COUPLE FROM THE ABOVE
SUGGESTIONS THEN YOU PROBABLY HAVE A BIT MORE LEE-WAY. IT IS VERY EASY TO BECOME
UNSTUCK AND LOSE YOUR WAY ONCE YOU START 'TWEAKING' LOTS OF DIFFERENT SETTINGS.
More BASS
We can obtain more bass in several ways.
Bass Enhancement:
Increase the peaking filter gain.
Increase the peaking filter Q factor.
Multi-band AGC:
Increase the drive to the AGC band 1.
Speed up the AGC band 1 release.
Lower the AGC band 1 gate threshold, allowing more gain to be applied to low level bass waveforms.
Consider 'force gating' the AGC band 1 so the multi-band AGC for band 1 is bypassed.
Multi-band Limiters:
Increase the band 1 and band 2 limiter drive.
Slow down the peak attack time for band 1, letting more through to the clippers.
Speed up the release time of the average release time constant of those bands
Slow down the band 1 and band 2 average attack times so that the peak time constant dominates the control
signal providing faster control.
Bass clipper:
Increase the bass clip level.
