before you make further modifications at the Advanced Modify level. This is because
the L -M
control gets you close to an optimum trade-off between loudness

Full Modify is the most detailed control level available from the 6300's front panel. It
allows you to adjust the dynamics section at approximately the level of "full con-
trol" available in Orban's 6200 processor. Because of improvements in the 6300's sig-
nal processing by comparison to the 6200, these controls are not extremely danger-
ous (although you can still get into trouble if you try hard enough). Most people will
never have any reason to go beyond Full Modify.

If you want to create a signature sound for your broadcast that is far out of the or-
dinary, if your taste differs from the people who programmed the L
or if you are using the 6300 in mastering or production applications, you will find
Advanced Modify useful. Advanced Modify is available to you from the 6300 PC Re-
mote software only (not from the 6300's front panel). At this level, you can custom-
ize or modify 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, knee, ratio, and threshold controls are available. These con-
trols can be dangerous in inexperienced hands, leading you to create presets that
sound great on some program material but overdrive the look-ahead peak limiter
on other material, causing objectionable pumping or distortion. We therefore rec-
ommend that you create custom presets at the Advanced Modify level only if you
are experienced with transmission processor sound design and if you are willing to
affects only the dynamics processing (compression, limiting,
