Mix (PSP MasterComp only)
Sets the amount of processed signal (post make-up) and input signal sent to the output level
control and output limiter. This allows to dial in a transient transparent sound with gently
processed middle dynamic ranges.
Output
Controls the output gain of the signal just before the output limiter in PSP MasterComp and
just before the output in PSP MicroComp.
On/Off
Engages or disengages processing. When set to off, metering still occurs although the signal
is untouched.
Caution!
Turning processing On and Off during playback may produce a gain
change and corresponding click.
Fat/Off
PSP MasterComp only. Engages Frequency Authentication Technique (FAT) for high quality
double sampled processing. Please note that when a FAT mode is engaged the plug-in is
using about 2.5x more CPU then with FAT mode switched off.
Caution!
Turning FAT On and Off during playback may produce a considerable click or
glitch.
Smooth button (PSP MasterComp) or Fast/Smooth switch (PSP MicroComp)
Engages the premium quality (PSP MasterComp) and high quality (PSP MicroComp)
Smooth Level Detector algorithm. In this mode, compression distortion is significantly
reduced for mid range and low frequencies. In previous PSP MasterComp editions the
premium quality Smooth Level Detector was always on. Now you have a choice between a
smooth, CPU hungry mode and a faster and less transparent mode.
Please notice that Fast mode doesn't necessarily mean it is a worse choice or a compromise.
This mode still provides very high quality processing and may be the best choice for many
applications. In PSP MasterComp, when the button in not lit plug-in turns on its high quality
Smooth Level Detector mode which is easier on CPU than the premium Smooth mode,
however it still sounds very close to the original Smooth mode. In the PSP MicroComp the
Fast mode completely omits the Smooth Level Detector algorithm, which results in further
CPU consumption reduction and more aggressive sound.
