OPERATION
ORBAN MODEL 8685
Intermediate Modify
Intermediate Modify is a compromise between Basic Modify and Advanced Modify.
Most people will never have any reason to go beyond Intermediate Modify.
Intermediate Modify does not provide
L

ORE
control. Furthermore,
once you have edited a preset’s dynamics parameters in Intermediate
Modify,
L
ESS
-M
ORE
control is no longer available in Basic Modify and will
be grayed-out if you access its screen. As noted above, we recommend
using the Basic Modify
L

ORE
control to achieve a sound as close as
possible to your desired sound before you make further modifications at
the Intermediate Modify level.
Advanced Modify
If you want to create a signature sound that is far out of the ordinary, if your taste
differs from the people who programmed the
L
ESS
-M
ORE
tables, or if you are using
the 8685 in mastering or production applications, you will find Advanced Modify
useful. At this level, you can customize or modify any subjective setup control set-
ting to create a sound exactly to your taste. You can then save the settings in a User
Preset and recall it whenever you wish. This sort of customization is usually unneces-
sary for sound for picture but can be very useful for radio and production applica-
tions.
Compressor attack time, knee, ratio, and threshold controls are available. These con-
trols can be dangerous in inexperienced hands, leading you to create presets that
sound great on some program material but overdrive the look-ahead peak limiter
on other material, causing objectionable pumping or distortion. We therefore rec-
ommend that you create custom presets at the Advanced Modify level only if you
are experienced with on-air sound design and if you are willing to take the time to
double-check your work on many different types of program material.
This constraint is less applicable to Dolby Digital transmissions that use
conservative values of Dialnorm like –25 dB. In this case, the 8685’s look-
ahead limiters will rarely produce gain reduction, so you can adjust the
compression parameters more freely without worrying that the limiters
will be overdriven.
In production and mastering applications, you will usually be working
with one piece of program material at a time. Here, you can use all of
Advanced Modify’s power to get the sound you want without being con-
cerned about how your settings will sound with other material.
The PC Remote software organizes its controls in tabbed screens. One set of tabs is
for surround processing and the other is for 2.0 processing. The
E

tabs in each set access the Basic Modify controls. The remaining tabs in
each set combine the Intermediate Modify and Advanced Modify controls, logically
organized by functionality.
Important Note:
Once you have edited a preset’s dynamics parameters
in Intermediate or Advanced Modify,

control is no longer
available in Basic Modify. As noted above, we strongly recommend using
the
