CHP. 12 USING ACOUSTIC MIRROR AND WAVE HAMMER

Input/Output meter
This meter allows you to monitor the level of the incoming and outgoing signals. When the Input button
appears, the meters display the incoming signal level. Clicking
Input toggles the button to an Output button
and displays the outgoing signal level. Clicking
Output returns you to the incoming signal display.
Attenuation meter
This meter allows you to monitor the audio signal attenuation derived from the current settings.
Volume Maximizer tab
The controls on the Volume Maximizer tab are used to limit the peak amplitude of an audio file or to boost the
overall level without clipping the waveform and distorting the audio.
Threshold
The Threshold fader is used to adjust the audio level at which the volume maximizer activates. Audio with
levels higher than the
Threshold value are affected, while audio at levels lower than this value pass through
the volume maximizer uninterrupted.
Output level
The Output level fader allows you to determine the level to which peaks above the Threshold setting are
boosted or cut.
Release time
The Release time slider allows you to determine how soon after falling below the threshold the audio signal
attenuation is interrupted.
Use longer look-ahead
When you select the Use longer look-ahead check box, the volume maximizer scans farther ahead in the
incoming audio to determine the amount of limiting that is needed. This results in limiting being applied
before the threshold-surpassing audio actually occurs. However, the pre-limiting effect (fades that occur
prior to attacks) of this option may be distracting.
