Processing Menu - Omnia .9 Installation & User Manual

STUDIO PROCESSING MENU

Processing Menu

The vast majority of the menus and controls in Omnia.9's Studio Processing core operate just as their counterparts in the FM
Processing core do, and like the FM processing core, you should start with the About Preset tab, as this will make available the
controls that determine how much finesse you will be able to access. A detailed explanation of each menu and control can be
found and referenced in the FM Processing menu section of this manual. The Band Mix menu requires additional explanation
because of its closeness to the end of the chain:
The Band Mix (coupled) slider allows you to adjust the output levels of all bands simultaneously. Each band can also be
♦
individually adjusted with the Band 1 - Band 7 Level controls. Adjustments here should be made carefully (especially
additional gain) as the only processing stage following this section is the Final Limiter.
The Studio processing core does not use a final clipper for peak control. Instead, it uses a look-ahead limiter, which is
♦
adjustable by the Final Limiter Drive control and operates in a range between -6.00 and +6.00dB in one-quarter dB
increments. Reducing limiter drive (sliding the control to the left) reduces the amount of limiting and gives you a more
open sound, but at the expense of overall loudness. Conversely, increasing limiter drive (moving the slider to the right)
will result in more limiting and a louder output, but at the expense of dynamics.
Enabling the Multiband Limiters provides a peak limiter to ride atop each individual band, similar to the arrangement
♦
in the FM, HD, and Studio processing cores. Disabling the limiters reduces the already low latency times in the Studio
processor core slightly.
