Appendix

Dynamics library list

These are the preset dynamics settings provided by the AW16G. For 
details on the function of each parameter, refer to page 174.

001   A.Dr.BD   "CMP
002   A.Dr.BD   "EXP
003   A.Dr.BD   "GAT
004   A.Dr.BD   "CPH

Use these presets to apply CMP, EXP, GAT, or CPH 
respectively to the bass drum of an acoustic drum kit.

005   A.Dr.SN   "CMP
006   A.Dr.SN   "EXP
007   A.Dr.SN   "GAT
008   A.Dr.SN   "CPS

These presets modify preset programs 1—4 for use with a 
snare drum.

009   A.Dr.Tom   "EXP

Expander for acoustic toms automatically reduces the 
volume when the toms are not played, helping to differ-
entiate the bass and snare drums clearly.

010   A.Dr.OverTop   "CPS

Soft compander to emphasize the attack and ambience 
of cymbals using overhead microphones. It automatically 
reduces the volume when the cymbals are not played, 
helping differentiate the bass and snare drums clearly.

011   E.B.finger   "CMP

Compressor to equalize the attack and volume level of a 
finger-picked electric bass guitar.

012   E.B.slap   "CMP

Compressor to equalize the attack and volume level of a 
slap electric bass guitar.

013   Syn.Bass   "CMP

Compressor to adjust and/or emphasize the level of a 
synth bass.

014   Piano1   "CMP
015   Piano2   "CMP

Piano1 brightens the sound to make it stand out slightly. 
Piano2 uses a deeper threshold setting, producing a 
more consistent overall level and sense of attack.

016   E.Guitar   "CMP

Suitable for electric guitar chording or arpeggios. Try var-
ious adjustments depending on your tone or playing 
style.

017   A.Guitar   "CMP

Compressor intended for acoustic guitar playing rhythm 
chords or arpeggios.

018   Strings1   "CMP
019   Strings2   "CMP
020   Strings3   "CMP

Compressor suitable for strings. Numbers 19 and 20 can 
also be used on low-range instruments (cello, contra-
bass).

021   BrassSection   "CMP

Compressor intended for brass sounds with fast and 
strong attack.

022   Syn.Pad   "CMP

This has a restraining effect on sounds that tend to 
become diffuse. For example, this is ideal for some rich-
sounding synth pads that conversely lack definition.

023   SamplingPerc   "CPS
024   Sampling BD   "CMP
025   Sampling SN   "CMP
026   Hip Comp   "CPS

It is effective to apply these programs to sampled sounds 
(such as from a CD-ROM) that are used among acoustic 
instruments, so that they will not seem to lack power and 
clarity. Four variations are provided; for Perc, BD, SN, 
and for looped materials (Hip Comp).

027   Solo Vocal1   "CMP
028   Solo Vocal2   "CMP

These are variations that are suitable for solo vocal 
sources.

029   Chorus   "CMP

This variation of Vocal is suitable for choruses.

030   Compander(H)   "CPH
031   Compander(S)   "CPS

A template for the compander program.

032   Click Erase   "EXP

Expander to remove click track sounds that may bleed 
out of the monitor headphones the musicians are using.

033   Announcer   "CPH

Hard compander reduces the level during the interval 
between the words, making the voice sound even.

034   Easy Gate   "GAT

A template for the gate program.

035   BGM Ducking   "DUK

Ducking background music for voiceovers, typically 
keyed from the announcer’s channel.

036   Limiter1   "CMP
037   Limiter2   "CMP

A limiter template. 1 has a slow release, and 2 is a peak 
stopping type.

038   Total Comp1   "CMP
039   Total Comp2   "CMP
040   Total Comp3   "CMP

Since these presets are effective in restraining the overall 
level or improving the overall definition, it is useful to 
apply them to the stereo output during mixdown. You 
can apply theses presets to a stereo source, and adjust 
them to create interesting effects.
