AM MENU
Multiband Setup Menu
The
Multiband Setup
menu provides control over the number of processing bands employed, gate threshold, freeze
threshold, and gate delay.
♦
The
Band
slider determines the number of bands in the multiband processing section and ranges from 2
to 5.
♦
The
Gate Delay
control determines how long the Gate Threshold and Freeze Threshold controls wait
before they begin working. The default settings for most presets is 190ms. Setting the control to “0”
means that as soon as audio falls below the threshold as determined by the settings of the Gate and Freeze
controls, it immediately slows or stops, respectively. Higher settings mean it will take longer for the
release of the audio to slow or stop.
Note:
Setting the Gate Delay much lower than 79ms will cause the gate to take effect during the brief
pauses in dry speech, resulting in a much lower volume level from an announcer mic, for instance,
as compared to music. Used creatively, this is actually a very useful tool for controlling announcer/
music level balance.
♦
The
Gate Threshold
and
Freeze Threshold
controls work in the same manner as their counterparts in the
other sections of the Omnia.7 as explained earlier in this manual.
