T-SLEDGE

T-SLEDGE is a multi-band compressor for mastering, equipped with peak limiter, level maximizer

and 4 compressors/expanders/limiters. And it is equipped with 2 kinds of dividing filter IIR/FIR.

So, it also operates as a dynamics EQ.

Features

• Threshold: Controls the threshold of compressing/limiting. The signal at a level that is larger

than this value is compressed

• Ratio: Controls the ratio of compressing/limiting. It operates as an expander when this value

is smaller than 1.0. When this value is maximized, it operates as a limiter

• Attack: Controls the attack time of compressing/limiting

• Release: Controls the release time of compressing/limiting. It makes the sound smooth, if

you choose the large value

• Soft: Sets the soft/hard mode of compressing/limiting process. While the soft mode

compression gradually compresses the threshold When the hard mode compression reaches

the threshold by the signal, it immediately compresses. There a little differences using it, but

it makes compressing/limiting process smooth or vivid. At the present stage, this function

becomes effective only to the compression processing

• ARC: Sets the automatic release time control system. (Sets all compressor and limiter

release time ARC) Automatically ARC calculates the release time. If you want to create

loudness sound, I recommend to turn it off

• IIR-FIR: Sets the dividing filter type. If you want to use for mastering, I recommend to use

FIR. FIR filter cause a little latency, but it’s no more than 1ms

• Gain: Controls the level of each output signal

• Input Gain: Controls the level of input signal

• Knob: Ctrl+Left-Click -> Fine adjustment of the value. Shift+Left-Click -> Link adjustment

of the value. Ctrl+Shift+Left-Click -> Fine link adjustment of the value

• VU Meter: Range 0dB < -> -40dB
