• Gate Threshold — The signal level below which the mic channel gates off and above
which it gates on.
Range is –60.0dB to 0.0dB.
Default is –50.0dB.
• Off Reduction — The channel attenuation when a mic channel gates off.
Range is 0.0dB to 100.0dB attenuation (0 to –100 dB).
Default: 60.0dB.
• Attack Time — Sets the time at which gain is applied after a channel gates on.
Range is 0.0msec to 3000.0msec in 0.1 msec increments.
Default: 10.0msec.
• Hold Time — The time that a mic remains active after the signal drops below a
user-defined threshold.
Range is 0.0msec to 10000.0msec in 0.1msec increments.
Default: 400.0msec.
• Release Time — The time it takes to ramp the signal level to the Off Reduction
value when the mic channel gates off.
Range is 10.0msec to 10000.0msec in 0.1 msec increments.
Default is 100.0msec.
• Gate Status Indicator and meter — The meter provides real-time sampling of the
selected AM channel with a digital readout of the current level the meter. The indicator
lights when the channel is shut off.
To insert an automix block into a channel:
1. Insert an AM processing block in the desired channel.
Either:
a. Right-click the AM block and select Insert
Automixer,
b. Double-click the AM block and select Automixer.
2. Double-click the inserted AM block to open it (see “Automix parameters:” on
page56).
The AM block defaults to Bypass. Click the Bypass button to toggle the AM block to
active.
