Drawmer ADX-100
Decay
Determines the rate at which the gate closes, once the signal
has fallen below the Threshold and the Hold time has expired.
Variable from 5 ms to 5.032 seconds.
Range
This sets the amount of attenuation applied to the input signal
when the gate is closed, variable from 0 dB to –144 dB. This
enables the gate to be used to remove unwanted signals entirely,
or simply to attenuate unwanted signals which are too loud.
Tip
: When first attempting a gating implementation, the most
typically used parameters are threshold and range, which offer
the most interplay.
Gate/Duck
Switches from normal Gating to Ducking. Probably the most
common form of Ducking is that used by radio announcers,
whereby the volume of the music being played is dropped,
enabling them to speak over it. Ducking a stereo track with a
mono voiceover will require two ADK-100 modules (one per
track), with both L/R triggered by the voiceover audio channel.
Mode Button
Switches between Noise Gate and Expander displays.
