The Gain control determines the amount by which the frequency setting is
boosted or attenuated. The available range is ±18 dB.

sample rates less than 44.1kHz, the maximum frequency will be limited.

fected. The Bandwidth range is 0.03–32; higher values yield sharper bands.
In either of the first two bands, when the Bandwidth value is at minimum the
band becomes a low-shelf filter, and at maximum the band becomes a high-
pass filter.
Similarly, in either of the last two bands, when the Bandwidth value is at min-
imum the band becomes a high-shelf filter, and at maximum the band be-
comes a low-pass filter.

EX-1 Compressor Controls

Attack Knob
Sets the amount of time that must elapse, once the input signal reaches the
Threshold level, before compression will occur. The faster the Attack, the more
rapidly compression is applied to signals above the Threshold. The range is
0.05 milliseconds to 100.00 milliseconds.
Sets the amount of time it takes for compression to cease once the input signal
Release Knob
drops below the Threshold level. Slower release times can smooth the transi-
tion that occurs when the signal dips below the threshold, especially useful for
material with frequent peaks. However, if you set too large of a Release time,
compression for sections of audio with loud signals may extend to lengthy sec-
tions of audio with lower signals. The range is 25 milliseconds to 2500 milli-
seconds (2.5 seconds).
