Dynamics Processor; Tascam Dv-Ra1000Hd - Tascam DV-RA1000HD Owner's Manual

8 − Effects
• The output level from the EQ effect (which
feeds the dynamics processor) is shown by
the meters at the right of the response curve.

Dynamics processor

The dynamics processor has a number of settings avail-
able:
• Three-band compressor
• Three-band expander
• Single-band compressor
• Single-band expander
The frequencies of the two crossover points of the
three-band effects can be set (the slope of the filters is 6
dB/octave).
The dynamics processor always comes after the EQ
effect.

For each band of the processor, the following
parameters are available (the screen shows the
setting, and in many cases, a graphic changes to
reflect the changes made to the parameter val-
ue). Use the and

Since each band is capable of boosting the level by
