Value Explanation
DYNAMICS
This adjusts the variation in volume
between loud and soft passages in the
performance.
Raising this setting will decrease the
variation in volume. Although this is a
convenient way to improve the overall
loudness for your song, it will decrease
the natural dynamics of the music.
-20–+20
Lowering this setting will increase
the variation in volume; while this
will make it difficult to obtain overall
loudness for your song, the music
will be closer to the natural dynamic
variation of the original performance.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
effect will produce its standard effect.
TONE
If you raise this setting, the low-
frequency and high-frequency ranges
will be boosted, producing a more
aggressive tone.
If you lower this setting, the low-
-6–+6
frequency and high-frequency ranges
will not be boosted, and the tone will
be mild.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
effect will produce its standard effect.
NATURAL
If you raise this setting, the mastering
effect will be applied more gently,
producing a more natural impression.
Since sudden peaks in volume will still
be reproduced without modification,
this will make it more difficult to boost
the overall loudness.
-50–+50
If you lower this setting, the mastering
effect will be applied more rapidly to
sudden volume peaks, but the sense of
naturalness will be impaired.
If this setting is at 0, the mastering
effect will produce its standard effect.
