These areas are:
Two dynamics processing modules, and their controls and metering:
• The Comp/Exp (“Compressor/Expander”) module
This acts as a compressor or an expander (which may operate at low, middle or high input levels). It
includes two bar meters to monitor respectively gain reduction (in red) or increase (in yellow), and input
dynamics control level (in blue). The various buttons and Value Windows control the operating parameters, as described by the captions, and in detail in the main C1 User’s Guide.
• The Gate/Exp (“Gate/Expander”) module
This acts as a Gate, or a low-level (downward) expander or low-level compressor. It includes two bar meters
to monitor respectively gain reduction (in red) or increase (in yellow), and input dynamics control level (in
blue). The various buttons and Value Windows control the operating parameters, as described by the
captions, and in detail in the main C1 User’s Guide.
• A filter module, including graphical display of filter responses
This filter module may be used to equalize just the control sidechains of the dynamics processor, or to split
the audio into two bands only one of which is dynamically processed, or any combinations of the two.
Filter type, frequency and Q buttons and Values Windows are provided for filter adjustment. A graphical
display shows the frequency responses of the “active” filter band in red, and the complementary “passive”
band of the bandsplit in blue. The filters may also be adjusted by clicking and dragging the cross-marker on
the graph.
• An input/output (I/O) graphical display of dynamic signal levels
This displays the way the output level of the two dynamics modules (yellow for the Comp/Exp module,
light blue for the Gate/Exp module) varies with input level, and shows the moment-by-moment variations
of level on the graph itself. The triangular grab markers below the graph display, and can be used to adjust,
the threshold settings of the two dynamics modules by clicking and dragging.
• An input and output signal level control and monitoring area
This includes an output level slider, input level controls for left and right channels (which are normally left
at 0 dB unless alterations in balance are required), peak-reading output level meters for the 2 stereo
channels, and buttons to switch between normal stereo operation and keyed operating modes, and a
monitor button to allow auditioning either of the processed audio or of the sidechain or passive bandsplit
signal band signals for setting up purposes.
• A number of controls for saving, loading, copying and altering setups
• Controls for previewing and processing sound files
• A title bar indicating name of loaded setup
• An IDR button for optimizing digital resolution at the 16 or 20 bit wordlength.
