turning the control up to this point will cause the sound quality to become obviously
unacceptable.
You need not (in fact, cannot) create a sound entirely from scratch. All User Presets
are created by modifying Factory Presets or by further modifying Factory Presets
that have been modified previously. It is wise to set the L
achieve a sound as close as possible to your desired sound before you make further
modifications at the Advanced Modify level. This is because the L
gets you close to an optimum trade-off between loudness and artifacts, so any
changes you make are likely to be smaller and to require resetting fewer controls.

If you want to create a signature sound for your broadcast or netcast that is far out
of the ordinary, if your taste differs from the people who programmed the L

tables, or if you are using OPTIMOD-PC in mastering or production applica-
ORE
tions, you will find Advanced Modify useful. At this level, you can customize or mod-
ify any subjective setup control setting to create a sound exactly to your taste. You
can then save the settings in a User Preset and recall it whenever you wish. This sort
of customization is usually unnecessary and inappropriate for sound for picture but
can be very useful for radio and production applications.
Compressor attack time, release time, and threshold controls are available. These
controls can be dangerous in inexperienced hands, leading you to create presets
that sound great on some program material but overdrive the look-ahead peak lim-
iter on other material, causing objectionable pumping or distortion. We therefore
recommend that you create custom presets at the Advanced Modify level only if you
are experienced with audio processing sound design and if you are willing to take
the time to double-check your work on many different types of program material.
In production and mastering applications, you will usually be working with one
piece of program material at a time. Here, you can use all of Advanced Modify's
power to get the sound you want without being concerned about how your settings
will sound with other material.
