The Dynamics Graph display—used with Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter processing—shows a curve that represents the level of the input signal (on the horizontal x–axis) and the amount of gain reduction applied (on the vertical y–axis). The display shows two vertical lines representing the Threshold setting for the Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter, respectively.
The Dynamics Graph display also features an animated red ball in the gain transfer curve display. This ball shows the amount of input gain (x-axis) and gain reduction (y-axis) being applied to the incoming signal at any given moment. To indicate overshoots (when an incoming signal peak is too fast for the current compression setting), the cursor temporarily leaves the gain transfer curve.
Dynamics Graph Gain Reduction Resolution
Channel Strip lets you view the gain reduction scale on the Dynamics Graph display either in 3 dB increments from 0 dB to 18 dB or in 6 dB increments from 0 dB to –36 dB.
To change the Dynamics Graph Gain Reduction resolution:
Using the Dynamics Graph to Adjust Controls
You can drag in the Dynamics Graph display to adjust the corresponding Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter controls. The cursor updates to show which control is being adjusted:
