The Intermediate Level menus can be broadly broken down into two groups: Preset Management (A), with controls that work here exactly as they do in the Basic Level as described in the Working with Presets , and Processing Controls (B).
Intermediate Level menu
Processing Controls
Processing controls include the following s:
Phase Processing: Including the phase scrambler, phase rotator, and BassEFX.
Downward Expanders: Useful for managing background noise from less-than-perfect recordings or noisy studio environments.
Input AGC: A slow-acting leveler to help smooth out variations in input levels and provide a more consistent output level to downstream processing stages.
Wideband AGC 1: An additional (and typically faster-acting) AGC to help with sudden input gain increases until the slower-acting Input AGC catches up.
Solar Plexus: A sub-harmonic bass enhancement that dynamically adds a natural-sounding low end to bass-shy material.
Parametric Equalizer: Up to six bands of phase-linear EQ, plus an assortment of pre-configured filters, including low pass, high pass, band pass, notch, low shelf, and high shelf.
Stereo Enhancer: A dynamic, target-driven, multiband stereo enhancer.
Multiband Setup: Sets the number of bands (user-selectable from 2 to 7) as well as the multiband Gate and Freeze thresholds.
Multiband AGC: Provides all of the controls related to the behavior and overall spectral balance of the multiband AGCs.
Multiband Compression: Provides additional compression on top of each band of the Multiband AGCs.
Multiband Thresholds: Sets the target level for each Multiband AGC band as well as each band of the Multiband Limiters.
Dry Voice Detection: Detects the presence of dry voice (voice with no music or effects underneath it) and adjusts the Multiband AGCs and Multiband Limiters accordingly to minimize audible distortion.
Wideband AGC 2: An additional AGC that can be placed before or after the Multiband AGCs and used either in wideband mode or as a bass compressor.
Wideband AGC 3: An additional AGC that is nearly identical to Wideband AGC 2 but which cannot be situated before the Multiband AGCs.
Band Mix: Used to fine-tune the output level and spectral balance of each band prior to the final clippers.
Final: Contains the bass clipper controls as well as the final FM settings, including pre-emphasis and low-pass frequency.
MPX Clipper: Provides distortion management and textural tools when using the MPX clipper.
Bypass: Provides a means to completely bypass all processing.
