[. . . ] Bypassing a band means that the dynamics processing is bypassed, hence the audio is passed to the output, but the gain of the band is fixed at 0 dB. Bypassing a band is useful for hearing the action of the dynamics processor on a band. Clicking the Solo button will enable/disable soloing of the current band. Soloing a band causes the other bands to be muted (unless they are already soloed), hence only soloed bands will pass audio. Soloing a band is useful to hear the frequency range of the band, and also the action of the dynamics in that one band. Clicking the Mute button will enable/disable muting of the current band. Muting a band causes the band to become silent. 38 5. MultiDynamics Band parameter controls The six knobs below the frequency response display allow the user to change the parameters for the currently selected band. These parameters are: lo gain, threshold, hi gain, ratio, attack time, and release time. The parameters are described in the parameters section?When the current band is selected, the band parameter controls will update to reflect the values of the current band. In addition to the above band parameters, the knee control can be set on a per band basis. Operation of the knob controls and text entry fields is described in the Plug-in controls section. Band parameter global controls Below the band parameter knobs are global controls that permit changing the band parameters for all bands simultaneously. Click on the control and drag up and down. This causes the parameter to change across all bands simultaneously. For example, clicking on the threshold global control will move the threshold for all bands at the same time, which is readily seen in the frequency response display. Global parameter section The global parameters are lookahead, crossover slope, and output gain. They are described in detail in section 5. 5. 39 Wave Arts Power Suite Dynamic response display The dynamic response display shows how an input level is mapped to a gain. An the bottom of the display on the horizontal axis is the input level meter which moves left to right as the peak input level goes from -72 dB to 0 dB. The yellow band shows the range from smallest to largest level processed by the dynamics section since the last meter redraw. In the above example the levels range from -36 dB to -30 dB. The thick green line on the graph shows how the input levels map to dynamics gains, which range from -18 to +18 dB on the vertical axis. In the above figure, the range of -36 to -30 dB of input levels will map to gains of -3 dB. [. . . ] Wave Arts expressly disclaims any warranty for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
