[. . . ] Setting the parameter to 0 dB results in no compression of the band. •• Compr(ession) Ratio fields: Set the compression ratio for the selected band. Expnd Thrsh(old) fields: Set the expansion threshold for the selected band. Setting the parameter to its minimum value (−60 dB) means that only signals that fall below this level are expanded. Expnd Reduction fields: Set the amount of downward expansion for the selected band. 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. 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. Important:  The side-chain signal is used only as a detector/trigger in this situation. 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. 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. Attack knob and field: Sets the amount of time it takes to fully open the gate after the signal exceeds the threshold. Hold knob and field: Sets the amount of time the gate is kept open after the signal falls below the threshold. Release knob and field: Sets the amount of time it takes to reach maximum attenuation after the signal falls below the threshold. Hysteresis slider and field: Sets the difference (in decibels) between the threshold values that open and close the gate. This prevents the gate from rapidly opening and closing when the input signal is close to the threshold. Lookahead slider and field: Sets how far ahead the Noise Gate analyzes the incoming signal, allowing the effect to respond more quickly to peak levels. [. . . ] The best results are achieved with monophonic signals, including monophonic instrument clips. It is not designed for polyphonic voices—such as a choir on a single clip—or other choral clips. Setting pitch and formant parameters Use the Vocal Transformer’s Pitch parameter to transpose the pitch of the signal upward or downward. Incoming pitches are indicated by a vertical line below the Pitch Base field. [. . . ]
