The" FG" Level" can" be" used" to" make" a" mix" louder" while" retaining" the" dynamic" feel" and"
punch"of"the"original"mix.""It"accomplishes"this"task"by"means"of"a"new"process"called"
ITP,"or"“Intelligent"Transient"Preservation TM ”."""
ITP"uses"a"complex"algorithm"to"analyze"peaks"individually.""It"then"creates"an"optimized"
set"of"algorithm"parameters"to"“absorb”"the"peak"in"the"most"transparent"fashion.""For"
instance," ITP" will" optimize" a" particular" curve" that" best" accentuates" midrange" punch"
when"processing"the"peak"of"a"snare"drum.""It"will"optimize"a"curve"for"low"end"energy"
when"processing"a"kick"drum"peak.""The"result"is"loudness"processing"that"is"transparent,"
and"keeps"the"original"punch"and"dynamics."

The"first"section"of"FG"Level"is"the"TRANSIENT"section.""This"
section"has"two"controls,"LOPUNCH,"and"DETAIL.""LOPUNCH"
can"raise"the"level"of"the"low"end"punch"of"the"mix"a/k/a"the"
kick" drum" level." " Detail" will" raise" the" level" of" the" high" end"
punch,"such"as"snare"drum.""These"controls"are"intended"to"
be" used" to" customize" the" amount" of" final" transient"
articulation"in"the"final"master.""It"is"recommended"to"leave"
them"all"the"way"down,"and"to"apply"them"AFTER"the"GAIN.""
By" hitting" the" Settings" tab" to" the" left" of" the" TRANSIENT"
knobs,"you"can"link"both"parameters."
