In the lower half of the Dynamics panel, you will find the actual controls:
Parameter
Description
Threshold
Determines the threshold level at which the dynamics processor is “trig-
gered”. Whether signal levels above or below this level will trigger the
processing, depends on the selected dynamics type.
Ratio
(Comp, Expander and Compander types only). Determines the amount
of compression/expansion. For the Compander types, this determines
the compression, while the expansion ratio is fixed.
Attack
This determines how soon the signal is affected (compressed, gated, ex-
panded, etc) once the dynamics processor has been triggered.
Release
(Comp, Expander and Compander types only). Determines how soon
the dynamics processor returns to normal gain once the signal level
goes back below/above the threshold level.
Gain / MGain (Comp, Expander and Compander types only). Sets the output signal
level. Use this to compensate for overall level changes caused by the dy-
namics processing.
Knee
(Comp and Expander types only). Determines how compression/expan-
sion is applied at the threshold point. “Hard knee” means that the speci-
fied compression/expansion ratio is applied as soon as the threshold level
is reached, while the five “Soft knee” settings apply the compression/ex-
pansion gradually for a more natural sound.
Range
(Gate and Ducking types only). Determines the amount of attenuation
when the processing is triggered, with lower values resulting in more at-
tenuation. If you want the Gate/Ducker to mute the signal completely
when triggered, set this parameter to its lowest value (-70 dB).
Hold
(Gate and Ducking types only). Determines how long the gate stays
open (or how long the ducking effect remains active) once the trigger
signal has fallen below the threshold level.
Decay
(Gate and Ducking types only). Determines how fast the gate is closed
(or, with Ducking, how fast the gain returns to normal) after the Hold time.
Width
(Compander types only). This determines how far below the threshold
level expansion is applied to the signal. If the Threshold level is -10 dB
and the Width is set to 20 dB, expansion will be applied to signals with
levels below -30 dB (20 dB below threshold).
Reduction
Meter
This meter indicates the dynamic gain reduction.
