Module Settings

Input

Input Gain

The input gain control trims the level of the signal at the input of EVO Comp. The meter shows both RMS signal (VU-Meter, blue) and peak signal (peak meter, green), from -24 to +18 dB range, referenced at -18dB.

Value Range : -24.0 dB / +18.0 dB

Colors : - Blue : RMS Value - Green : Peak Value

Default Value : 0.0 dB

Drive

In EVO Comp a signal Drive is available direct at the input Gain for restoring and maintaining the vitality of the sound.

The drive module has been specially designed to add a soft saturation and warmth to your audio tracks.

Value Range : 0% / 100%

Default Value : 0%

Compressor

In addition to controlling the signal dynamics, the compressor is often used for shaping the attitude of a sound. To use a compressor in a creative and artistic fashion it’s important that it’s easy to use and has the ability to create an interesting sound.

The EVO Comp’s compressor module is based on the Pure Compressor’s dynamics engine, and the same range of compression types are available in EVO Comp through the different modes available (each mode corresponds to a fine tuning of Pure Compressor). As some modes use a LID compression (Level Independent Detection) in parallel, a gain reduction may be processed even if the audio level is below the threshold.

Mode

The compressor module gives you up to 9 modes of compression.

Available modes :

  • Start
  • Kick/Snare
  • Overhead
  • Drum Bus
  • Bass
  • Acoustic
  • Piano
  • Vocal
  • Mix

Default Value : Start

Threshold

Threshold value of the compressor.

Value Range : -42.0dB / +18.0dB

Default Value : Depends on the Mode.

Ratio

Compression ratio parameter.

Value Range : 1.0:1 / 10.0:

Default Value : Depends on the Mode.

Attack

Attack value of the compressor.

Value Range : 0.1ms / 1000.0ms

Default Value : Depends on the Mode.

Release

Release value of the compressor.

Value Range : 1ms / 10000ms

Default Value : Depends on the Mode.

Auto Adapt.

When enabled, the compressor adapts its release time to the input signal depending on the audio signal, but won’t exceed the release time value.

Value Range : Enabled / Disabled

Default Value : Enabled

Gain Reduction Display

Displays the gain reduction performed by the compressor.

Value Range : 0dB / -24dB

Compressor Output Gain

Gain stage at the output of the compressor module.

Value Range : 0.0dB / 24.0dB

Default Value : 0.0dB

Wet

Wet parameter defines how much of the compressed signal is mixed with the original signal, for parallel compression.

Value Range : 0% / 100%

Default Value : 100%

Output

Output Gain

The output gain control trims the level of the signal at the output of EVO Comp. The meter shows both RMS signal (VU-Meter, blue) and peak signal (peak meter, green), from -24 to +18 dB range, referenced at -18dB.

Value Range : -24.0 dB / +18.0 dB

Colors : - Blue : RMS Value - Green : Peak Value

Default Value : 0.0 dB
