THE BLOCKS
Attack
The Attack time is the response time that the Compressor uses to reach the gain reduction specified by the Ratio parameter. Example: If the input signal suddenly increases to 4 dB above threshold in no time with the Ratio set to 4:1 and the Attack set to 20 ms, the Compressor will use 20ms to reach the gain reduction of 1 dB.
Release
Release sets the fall back time of the Compressor, after the signal drops below the Threshold.
Equalizer
Equalizers are some of the most common signal processing devices, and are made in many different variations and with different colorations. The Equalizer types in the Gold Channel are made with parametric and shelving filters. We have put great efforts in making the EQ algorithms sound as musical and “analog” as possible.
Easy Equalizer
This EQ type is based on old style EQ’s and incorporates just a few parameters, making it fast and easy to work with.
The EQ has five bands:
Lo Cut - Cut filter with fixed
Mid - Bell filter with
Hi - Shelving filter with
Hi Cut - Cut filter with fixed
Advanced Equalizer
This five band parametric EQ has a lot more parameters than the Easy EQ, enabling you to make any adjustment you would like.
The algorithm is made with built in soft limiters on each band, which gives you a warm,
Band 1
Type - Selects Bell or Shelf type of filter Gain -
Freq - adjusts the frequency from 20 Hz - 5 kHz Slope or Width - depending on type of filter Band - On/Off function for the band
Band 2, 3 and 4 Gain - +/-18 dB range
Freq - adjusts the frequency from 20 Hz - 20 kHz Width - adjusts the bandwidth of the filter (0.1 - 4 octaves) Band - On/Off function for the band
Band 5
Type - Selects Bell or Shelf type of filter Gain -
Freq - adjusts the frequency from 501Hz - 20 kHz Slope or Width - depending on type of filter Band - On/Off function for the band
Out Level
Here you can adjust the level after the EQ filtering.
Soft Clip
The built in soft clippers/limiters on each band can here be switched On/Off.
