|
||
are too loud, and/or the quiet parts are too quiet.</p><p>This kind of problem cannot be easily solved using Faders to adjust the Levels alone. You may
|
||
set the Levels so high that they clip, or you may add unwanted
|
||
background noise by simply turning Levels up. These are all problems
|
||
with what is called the <strong>Dynamic Range</strong>, i.e., the difference between
|
||
the loudest and quietest parts of your Session. There are several types
|
||
of tools for adjusting the Dynamic Range available as <strong>Plugins</strong>
|
||
within Ardour, including <strong>Limiting</strong>, <strong>Compression</strong> and <strong>Gating</strong>.</p><h2 id=limiting>Limiting</h2><p>A <strong>Limiter</strong> is a tool that prevents the volume of a Track from going
|
||
over a certain Level, usually the Peak Level (0dB) or something close to
|
||
it. Many Limiters have the option to boost the Levels of the incoming
|
||
signal before they are Limited, and in this way you can “close the gap”
|
||
between the loudest and quietest parts of your Mix. A Limiter can be
|
||
used on the Master Bus to prevent the overall Mix from Clipping.
|
||
Limiters are almost always used Post-Fader.</p><p>In the example below, a Plugin named “<em>Fast Lookahead Limiter</em>” is used (if you don’t find that specific one among your installed plugins, look for any other called “Limiter”). To
|
||
set how much it limits, simply adjust the
|
||
“<em>Limit (dB)</em>” slider. The Fast Lookahead Limiter literally “looks
|
||
ahead” in the signal by a few milliseconds, and when it sees that the
|
||
signal is about to go over the limit you have set, it automatically
|
||
turns the Levels down.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Limiter_Fast_Lookahead.png alt=limiter></p><p>The “<em>Input Gain (dB)</em>” slider determines how much the Levels are
|
||
increased before they reach the Limiter, and the “<em>Attenuation (dB)</em>”
|
||
meter on the right-hand side shows how much the Levels are being reduced
|
||
at any given moment. While the reduction in volume is
|
||
nearly-instantaneous, the “<em>Release time (s)</em>” slider determines how
|
||
long it takes the Limiter to return to 0 Decibels of <strong>Attenuation</strong>.</p><p>Note that the “harder” one drives the Limiter (by increasing the Input
|
||
Gain and/or decreasing the maximum Peak Limit allowed), the more
|
||
reduction the Limiter is forced to make, and the more likely it is that
|
||
Artifacts of the processing will occur (such as Distortions or erratic
|
||
changes in volume). On the Master Bus, it is generally best to avoid
|
||
excessive Limiting.</p><h2 id=compression>Compression</h2><p>A <strong>Compressor</strong> boosts the overall volume of a sound, but then
|
||
“squeezes” it depending on how loud it is. This can make vocals sound
|
||
more even or drums sound fuller and louder. The end effect is similar to
|
||
how a Limiter can reduce the range between the quietest and the loudest
|
||
sound, however the effect is more selective when using a Compressor.</p><p>The simplest Compressor has relatively few controls, such as the
|
||
“<em>Simple Compressor</em>” Plugin shown below. Here, the “<em>Threshold</em>”
|
||
sets the Level at which the Compressor will start to act, and the
|
||
“<em>Compression Ratio</em>” controls how much the Compressor will “squeeze”
|
||
the sound. The “<em>Attack</em>” and “<em>Decay</em>” parameters control how quickly
|
||
the Compressor affects the sound.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Compressor_Simple.png alt="simple compressor"></p><p>A more complex Compressor, the “<em>SC1 Compressor</em>” Plugin, is show below.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Compressor_SC1.png alt="sc1 compressor"></p><p>It has three main buttons:</p><ul><li>“<em>Threshold level</em> (dB)” sets the level at which the Compressor will compress or squeeze the sound.</li><li>“<em>Ratio</em> (1:n)” controls how much it will squeeze when it reaches the threshold.</li><li>“<em>Makeup gain (dB)</em>” boosts the whole signal after the Compression occurs.</li></ul><p>To soften out a vocal, for example, you could set a “Threshold level” of −10dB or so
|
||
and a “Ratio” of 2.5, and then bring the volume back up with the “Makeup
|
||
gain”.</p><p>The other three controls — “<em>Attack time (ms)</em>”, “<em>Release time (ms)</em>” and
|
||
“<em>Knee radius (dB)</em>” — allow you to control the shape of the Compression.</p><p>For soft vocal Compression, you would want a semi-fast “Attack time” so
|
||
that the Compressor catches the beginning of each word, a slower
|
||
“Release time” to let the voice ring out, and a soft “Knee radius” to
|
||
create a gentle form of compression that isn’t too noticeable.</p><p>If you want to make drums sound big, you might try a slow “Attack time” so that
|
||
you don’t Compress the pop of the drum, a fast “Release time” so that
|
||
the Compressor can catch the next hit of the drum, and a large “Ratio”
|
||
to make the Dynamics between the beginning and end of the drum hit
|
||
similar.</p><p>Below is a screenshot of a similar Compressor from the

<a href=http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins.html>Calf Plugins Package</a>:</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Compressor_Calf.png alt="sc1 compressor"></p><h2 id=gating>Gating</h2><p>The simplest kind of <strong>Gate</strong> allows a signal to pass through when it is
|
||
over a certain Level, and blocks the signal when it is lower than that.</p><p>Gates are often used as a kind of noise reduction. For example, the Gate
|
||
on a microphone channel might only open while the singer is singing,
|
||
preventing other background noises from coming through as well when she
|
||
is not singing. Gated drums are also a very well-known studio production
|
||
trick to make them sound “sharper”.</p><p>Here, the “<em>Hard Gate</em>” Plugin displays a single control
|
||
parameter, the “<em>Threshold</em>” at which the Gate will open and let the
|
||
signal through.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Hard_Gate_Plugin.png alt=gate></p><p>Other kinds of Gates, such as the Calf Gate Plugin, are
|
||
more complex. They have independent control over how quickly the Gate
|
||
opens (the “<em>Attack</em>”) and closes (the “<em>Release</em>”), as well as other
|
||
parameters quite similar to those described for the SC Compressor above.</p><p><img src=en/Ardour4_Gate_Calf.png alt=gate2></p><h2 id=continuing>Continuing</h2><p>Now that we’ve explored some tools for getting the Dynamic Range exactly
|
||
where you want it, it’s time to look at adjusting the balance of
|
||
Frequencies present in each individual Track and in your overall Mix. In
|
||
the next chapter, we’ll learn how to use the <strong>Equalizer</strong> to do just
|
||
that.</p><p>Next: <a href=../equalizing>EQUALIZING</a></p><footer class=footline></footer></div></div><div id=navigation></div></section><div style=left:-1000px;overflow:scroll;position:absolute;top:-1000px;border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px><div style=border:none;box-sizing:content-box;height:200px;margin:0;padding:0;width:200px></div></div><script src=/ardour-tutorial/js/clipboard.min.js?1648461546></script>
