Activating Virtuoso; Band-Specific Editing - Behringer ULTRA-DYNE PRO DSP9024 User Manual

ULTRA-DYNE PRO DSP9024

2.2.5 Activating VIRTUOSO

The VIRTUOSO function can reduce your setup work considerably by analyzing your audio material and
automatically determining the compression values. Press the softkey A in the <PROCESS> or <METER>
menus to access the VIRTUOSO function. This brings you to the <VIRTUOSO> menu in which you can select
the required degree of compression using the four softkeys.

The ULTRA-DYNE PRO now analyzes the audio material until you end the analysis with softkey C (OK) or
cancel it with softkey D (CANCEL). The analysis is indicated by the flashing VIRTUOSO pictogram.

Next, the ULTRA-DYNE PRO automatically sets the Threshold parameters of all six Compressors for the
individual bands to suit the audio material, ensuring optimal compression (see Chapter 3.4, VIRTUOSO
function). The compression can also be corrected subsequently by changing the INGAIN parameter in the
setup menu. If the compression is too powerful, reduce the INGAIN value and vice versa.

2.2.6 Band-specific editing

Fig. 2.7: <EDIT> menu
Press the softkey C (EDIT) in the <PROCESS> menu to access the <EDIT> menu, which permits band-
specific editing via the faders. Select one of the six bands with softkey B. The pictogram shows the currently
selected band. Pressing the key once more will switch to the next higher band.
The first six parameters (1 Gate, 4 Compressor, 1 Outgain) are available for each band, whereas the last two
(1 Ultramizer, 1 Limiter) apply to the entire frequency range.
BANDLINK must be OFF to change settings per band.
Softkey D (A/B) allows you to compare the current setting with the settings of the program as it was loaded.
The B in the pictogram is displayed in bold whenever you modify a loaded program. If you are not satisfied
with the new setting, you can return to the original program by pressing softkey D a second time and trying a
new setting from there. As soon as you change a value, the B in the pictogram will once again be displayed in
bold. Upon loading a new program, neither A nor B will be highlighted as long as no changes have been made.
