The" FG-X" Dynamics" Rack" consists" of" two" main" processors," the" FG" Comp" and" the"
FG"Level." " The" FG" Comp" is" a" world" class" mastering" compressor" that" combines" several"
compression" topologies" to" create" the" ultimate" in" transparent" dynamic" control." " The"
FG"Level"is"a"loudness" processor"that"uses"a" revolutionary" new" algorithm" to" add" level"
without" adding" degrading" artifacts." " The" FG" Level" also" contains" a" dithering" algorithm,"
which"retains"the"sound"of"your"higher"bit"rate"audio"files"in"their"final"16"bit"output."

The"FG"Comp"is"an"extremely"transparent"compressor"aimed"at"mixbuss"and"mastering"
duties." " Its" algorithm" is" based" on" two" different" compression" topologies," photo" optical"
cell,"and"VCA."
Its" controls" are" the" same" as" are" commonly" found" in" compressors." " The" ATTACK"
parameter" controls" how" fast" the" gain" reduction" reacts" once" the" signal" passes" the"
threshold.""The"RELEASE"parameter"controls"how"fast"the"reaction"time"should"be"for"
