[. . . ] Peak/RMS fields: Enter a smaller value for shorter peak detection, or a larger value for RMS detection, in milliseconds. Attack fields: Set the amount of time before compression starts for the selected band, after the signal exceeds the threshold. Release fields: Set the time required before compression stops on the selected band, after the signal falls below the threshold. Band on/off buttons (1, 2, 3, and 4): Enable/disable each band (1 to 4). When enabled, the button is highlighted, and the corresponding band appears in the graphic display area above. Byp(ass) buttons: Enable to bypass the selected frequency band. Solo buttons: Enable to hear compression on only the selected frequency band. Level meters: The bar on the left shows the input level, and the bar on the right shows the output level. Threshold arrows: Two arrows appear to the left of each Level meter. •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• The upper arrow adjusts the Compression Threshold (Compr Thrsh). The lower arrow adjusts the Expansion Threshold (Expnd Thrsh). Multipressor output section •• Auto Gain pop-up menu: When you choose On, it references the overall processing of the signal to 0 dB, making the output louder. •• Lookahead value field: Adjusts how far the effect looks forward in the incoming audio signal, in order to react earlier to peak volumes, and therefore achieve smoother transitions. Out slider: Sets the overall gain at the Multipressor output. The filters are used to isolate particular trigger signals in the side-chain source, but they have no influence on the actual gated signal—the audio being routed through the Noise Gate. Use the side-chain filters 1 Click the Monitor button to hear how the High Cut and Low Cut filters will affect the incoming trigger signal. 2 Drag the High Cut slider to set the upper frequency. Trigger signals above this are filtered. 3 Drag the Low Cut slider to set the lower frequency. Trigger signals below this are filtered. The filters allow only very high (loud) signal peaks to pass. In the drum kit example, you could remove the hi-hat signal, which is higher in frequency, with the High Cut filter and allow the snare signal to pass. Turn monitoring off to set a suitable Threshold level more easily. Chapter 5    Levels effects 66 Noise Gate parameters The Noise Gate has the following parameters. •• Threshold slider and field: Sets the threshold level. Signals that fall below the threshold will be reduced in level. Reduction slider and field: Sets the amount of signal reduction. [. . . ] Tip:  If you set Pitch to 0 semitones, Mix to 50%, and Formant to +1 (with Robotize turned off), you can effectively place a singer (with a smaller head) next to the original singer. Both will sing with the same voice, in a choir of two. This doubling of voices is quite effective, with levels easily controlled by the Mix parameter. Chapter 10    Vocal effects 121 Using robotize mode When Robotize is enabled, Vocal Transformer can augment or diminish the melody. You can control the intensity of this distortion with the Tracking parameter. The Tracking slider and field feature is enhanced by four buttons that immediately set the slider to the most useful values, as follows: •• •• −1 (sets the slider to −100%): All intervals are mirrored.
