3. คู่มือการใช้งาน

The WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor provides precise control over different frequency ranges. Below is an overview of its interface and key controls.

Figure 1: WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor User Interface. This image displays the plugin's graphical interface, showing the frequency response curve, crossover points, and various controls for threshold, gain, range, attack, and release for each of the five bands. On the right, global controls for trim, dither, makeup, and release behavior are visible.

3.1. อินเตอร์เฟสโอเวอร์view

• การแสดงความถี่: The large graph at the top shows the frequency response and the effect of compression across different bands. Adjustable points on the curve define crossover frequencies and band levels.
• Crossover (XOVER) Controls:
  • LOW (181 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the Low band.
  • LMID (1198 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the Low-Mid band.
  • HMID (4750 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the High-Mid band.
  • HIGH (16000 Hz): Defines the upper limit of the High band.
  These values are user-adjustable, allowing for precise band splitting.
• Band Controls (per band): Each of the five bands (Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, High, Master) has dedicated controls:
  • THRSH (Threshold): Sets the level at which compression begins. (e.g., 0.0 dB shown)
  • ได้รับ: Adjusts the output gain of the band. (e.g., Low band at 2.0 dB, High band at 3.0 dB)
  • พิสัย: Controls the maximum amount of gain reduction. (e.g., Low band at -7.0 dB, High-Mid and High bands at -12.0 dB)
  • ATTK (Attack): Determines how quickly the compressor reacts to signals exceeding the threshold. (e.g., Low band at 65.16 ms)
  • REL (Release): Determines how quickly the compressor returns to its original state after the signal falls below the threshold. (e.g., Low band at 64.41 ms)
  • Bypass (Byp): Toggles the bypass for individual bands.
• Master Controls (Right Panel):
  • ตัดแต่ง: Overall output level adjustment. (e.g., 16 dB shown)
  • เหมือนกัน: Dithering options (Off, Type).
  • แต่งหน้า: Gain makeup options (Off, Manual, Adaptive).
  • RELEASE BEHAVIOR: Options for release characteristics (ARC, Electro).
  • เข่า: Adjusts the softness of the compression knee (e.g., 0.50 shown).

3.2. การทำงานพื้นฐาน

To apply multiband compression:

1. Insert the WAVES Linear Phase Multiband Compressor on an audio track or bus in your DAW.
2. ปรับแต่ง เอ็กซ์โอเวอร์ frequencies to define your desired bands.
3. For each band, set the THRSH to determine when compression engages.
4. ปรับแต่ง ได้รับ to compensate for level changes due to compression.
5. ใช้ ประเภท to control the depth of compression.
6. ปรับจูน ATTK และ เรล parameters for the desired dynamic response.
7. การใช้ประโยชน์จาก การควบคุมหลัก for overall output adjustments and specialized features like Dither and Makeup Gain.
