Dynamics Processing

Dynamics Processing

The AW2400 provides gate and compressor facilities for dynamics processing. In this section operation of the gate and compressor will be explained individually.

Using the Gates

The gate attenuates signals below a specified threshold level, and can be used to eliminate noise in silent sections of a track. Gates are only provided on input channels.

1 Use the Layer section, [INPUT SEL] and [SEL] keys to select the channel to which the gate is to be applied.

2 Press the Selected Channel section [DYN] key so that its indicator lights, then press Selected Channel knob 1, 2, 3, or 4.

The DYNAMICS screen will appear.

3 Press the Display section [F1] key, or press the [DYN] key as many times as necessary until the Gate Edit page appears.

The Gate Edit Page includes the following items.

1GATE ON/OFF button

Switches the gate on/off.

BSTEREO LINK button

Turning this button on links gate operation for paired channels.

NOTE

•Gate operation can only be linked for adjacent odd and even numbered channels that can be paired.

CKEYIN SOURCE field

Selects one of the following trigger sources for the gate.

•SELF button ... Selects the signal from the cur- rently selected channel.

•CHANNEL button

............ Selects the signal from the channel

specified in the box below the but- ton (CH1–CH16). After selecting a channel in the channel box, press the [ENTER] key to confirm the selection.

•AUX button..... Selects the signal from the AUX send specified in the box below the button (AUX1–AUX4). After select- ing an AUX send in the box, press the [ENTER] key to confirm the selection.

DResponse curve

This graph indicates the approximate response of the gate settings. The horizontal axis of the graph is the input level, and the vertical axis is the output level.

ETYPE

Indicates the currently selected gate type. The dis- played indication has the following meaning.

•GATE............... Gate

•DUCKING........ Ducking

HINT

•You cannot change the gate type via this page. If you want to use a different gate type, you must recall a library setting that uses the desired type. For details on recalling library gate set- tings, refer to “EQ/Dynamics Processor Library Operation” on page 154.

FGR (Gain Reduction)

Indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the gate processor over a range of -18 dB to 0 dB.

GOutput meter

Indicates the level of the signal after it has passed through the gate processor.

HPARAMETER

Here you can edit the parameters of the gate processor. The type of parameters and their ranges will differ depending on the gate type. For details on the types of parameter and their function, refer to the appendix.
