MB AGC Levels

The AGC Target controls set the target gain reduction / output level of the MB AGC bands individually or overall with the
"coupled" control. A lower setting results in more gain reduction thus a corresponding lower output level while higher settings
provide less gain reduction and a higher output level. This is similar to a traditional "threshold" control when the levels are
below the target.
The Band Mix column within the Multiband AGC/MB AGC Levels allows you to adjust the final output of each band after all
Wideband and Multiband processing has been applied. This is the same Band Mix that is a separate tab under the Processing
path. It is provided here as a convenience. It can be used very effectively to tailor the overall spectral balance of your sound, but
keep in mind that this is the final point of adjustment before the audio reaches the Final Clipper (FM core) or Final Limiter
(HD and Streaming Cores). In other words, levels increased in the Band Mix section can only be controlled by final clipping
or final limiting, which may result in unexpected or unwanted density on some material, so care is required when making
adjustments here.
The Drive controls adjust the amount of drive (input level) to the AGC bands individually or overall with the "coupled"
control. Drive differs from Target in that higher settings of Drive actually raise the input level to the AGC band or section,
increasing gain reduction but not changing the output level. Depending on other AGC parameters, the output may change due
to other factors, but the output level set point does not change.
