Density D Etector B And W Eighting - Omnia .9 Installation And Operation Manual

When the dynamics detector falls below a certain level, expansion will begin, starting at a
minimum ratio of 1:1 and increasing to a maximum ratio of 4:1. The point at which that

The detected amount of dynamics in each band is indicated in the Dynamics meters. Taller bars

Density D etector B and W eighting
Each band of Undo's expander has a corresponding density detector. The Density Detector Band
Weighting controls allow you to determine how much control each detector provides its own band
as well as any other expander band. To put this concept into traditional processing terms, it is
similar to "band coupling" in a multiband compressor, where all bands may operate completely
