3. Operasyon Enstriksyon

The WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor provides precise control over different frequency ranges. Below is an overview of its interface and key controls.

Figure 1: WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor User Interface. This image displays the plugin's graphical interface, showing the frequency response curve, crossover points, and various controls for threshold, gain, range, attack, and release for each of the five bands.

3.1. Entèfas souview

• Ekspozisyon frekans: The large graph at the top shows the frequency response and the effect of compression across different bands. Adjustable points on the curve define crossover frequencies and band levels.
• Crossover (XOVER) Controls:
  • BA (181 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the Low band.
  • LMID (1198 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the Low-Mid band.
  • HMID (4750 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the High-Mid band.
  • HIGH (16000 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the High band.
  These values are user-adjustable, allowing for precise band splitting.
• Band Controls (per band): Each of the five bands (Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, High, Master) has dedicated controls:
  • THRSH (Threshold): Sets the level at which compression begins. (e.g., 0.0 dB shown)
  • GAY: Adjusts the output gain of the band. (e.g., Low band at 2.0 dB, High band at 3.0 dB)
  • RANGE: Controls the maximum amount of gain reduction. (e.g., Low band at -7.0 dB, High-Mid and High bands at -12.0 dB)
  • ATTK (Attack): Determines how quickly the compressor reacts to signals exceeding the threshold. (e.g., Low band at 65.16 ms)
  • REL (Release): Determines how quickly the compressor returns to its original state after the signal falls below the threshold. (e.g., Low band at 64.41 ms)
  • Bypass (Byp): Toggles the bypass for individual bands.
• Master Controls (Right Panel):
  • TAYE: Overall output level adjustment. (e.g., 16 dB shown)
  • DITER: Dithering options (Off, Type).
  • MAKIYAJ: Gain makeup options (Off, Manual, Adaptive).
  • RELEASE BEHAVIOR: Options for release characteristics (ARC, Electro).
  • Jenou: Adjusts the softness of the compression knee (e.g., 0.50 shown).

3.2. Operasyon debaz

1. Insert the WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor on an audio track or bus in your DAW.
2. Ajiste a XOVER frequencies to define your desired bands.
3. For each band, set the THRSH to determine when compression engages.
4. Ajiste a PRAN to compensate for level changes due to compression.
5. Sèvi ak NIVO to control the depth of compression.
6. Fine-melodi a ATTK epi REL parameters for the desired dynamic response.
7. Sèvi ak Mèt Kontwòl for overall output adjustments and specialized features like Dither and Makeup Gain.
