This added bit of headroom helps songs avoid unwanted artifacts from appearing when uploaded to streaming services.īx_masterdesk has four different TMT Compressor Modes, ranging from 1 to 4. When you engage Limiter Turbo, the boost is increased to 2dB, and the Output Trim automatically adjusts to -0.2dB. By default, the internal limiter is set to apply a 1dB boost. The Limiter Turbo button will increase the amount of limiting applied to your audio signal. You may be better off linking the channels together to avoid drastically unbalancing your mix. An example would be if there is an element in the mix continually triggering the compressor in either your left or right channel, like a pad. In most situations, you’ll probably prefer to avoid linking the left and right channels together, but there is a time and a place for this type of processing. When Compressor Link is disengaged (unlinked), you’ll typically find that you end up with a product that sounds “open,” and avoids many of the pumping artifacts that result from having Compressor Link engaged. This pumping can result from one channel triggering the threshold and compressing the opposite channel at inappropriate times. The downside to this mode is that you may notice some undesirable pumping effects. In this mode, the compression applied to your left and right channel will be even, resulting in a balanced stereo image.

When Compressor Link is engaged, both the left and right channels will be attenuated when a transient exceeds the internal threshold on either the left or right channel. This makes it quite simple to only target harsh frequency content while leaving the rest of your signal intact. Using the Solo button, you can audition the signal being attenuated. If you adjust the Foundation knob to attenuate your bass, you may notice that some top-end elements are overly prominent. At any setting in between these two extremes, you’ll be applying parallel compression.īx_masterdesk’s De-Esser is used to tame vocal sibilance, as well as harsh hi hats and cymbals. At 100%, you’ll only hear the compressed version of the song you’re working on, and at values below 86%, the compressor will disengage.

The Comp Mix knob allows you to blend your compressed audio signal into your uncompressed signal.
