Achieve a professional-level finish quickly and easily!
The Spectral Compressor is a superior dynamics processor developed for demanding filmmaking and post-production. Based on Harrison's iconic enterprise-class MPC console, it delivers unparalleled precision in mastering mixes. With 18 spectral bands for dynamic range control, you can individually adjust the sound of each band or use global controls to adjust the overall tone of your mix. Smooth out harsh frequencies, boost the bass, brighten the treble—the Spectral Compressor can meet any need.
Use it as an effective de-esser, a flexible drum bus processor, or a subtle enhancer for vocals and instruments. No matter the genre of music production, the Spectral Compressor helps you achieve a professional, sophisticated sound.
The "Depth" slider below the graph controls the maximum amount of gain reduction that can be applied to the corresponding frequency band determined by the current "Range" setting. "Range" can be set to focus on a specific region of the frequency spectrum (low, mid, high, etc.) or to "Full Range" mode for control over the entire spectrum. "Threshold" sets the input signal level at which overall compression begins. Other controls include the compressor's "Knee" and output "Trim."
Controls
Threshold
The slider next to the input meter on the left is the threshold control. The threshold sets the input signal level at which the overall compression effect begins. The threshold can be set to any value between -60dB and 0dB.
Frequency Range
The "Frequency Range" section allows you to select a specific frequency range to process with the compressor. The 18 compressor bands are distributed across the selected range. For example, if you select "Mid," all 18 bands will be concentrated in the midrange, allowing for more precise control over frequencies within that range.
The available frequency range options are as follows:
Full Range, 16 Hz – 20 kHz
High Frequency, 3 kHz – 20 kHz
High-Mid Frequency, 200 Hz – 18 kHz
Mid Frequency, 180 Hz – 7 kHz
Low-Mid Frequency, 12 Hz – 8 kHz
Low Frequency, 15 Hz – 500 Hz
Depth Control
The six sliders below the graph set the depth for each band. The 18 compressor bands are divided into six sliders, each controlling the depth of three bands.
The affected frequency range is displayed below each slider.
"Depth" determines the maximum amount of gain reduction that can be applied within the control range of each slider. The range of "Depth" values is -24 dB to 0 dB. Setting the "Depth" slider to 0 dB eliminates attenuation within the control range of that slider.
Knee
The knee value determines how much the input signal needs to exceed the threshold in a particular frequency band. Exceeding this threshold yields maximum compression depth in that bandwidth. The knee value ranges from 1 to 30. A low knee value (hard knee) results in more abrupt compression when the signal exceeds the threshold. A high knee value (soft knee) applies gain reduction more gradually when the signal exceeds the threshold.
Output Trim
Output trim adjusts the compressor's output signal level from -10dB to +10dB. It can be used to increase or decrease the output level as needed for gain compensation.
Gain Reduction Graph
Visually represents gain reduction across the entire frequency spectrum. The gain reduction curve (red) is displayed on top of the input curve (orange to yellow), showing the amount of gain reduction applied and its position on the spectrum. The red line within the input curve indicates the level of the compressed signal relative to the input signal.
Until 16th May.
