Chapter 7: Dugan Music System and Gain Limiting

Dugan Gain Limiting is typically used with the Dugan Music System.

Dugan Music System

The Dugan Music System is a soft-gating or ducking system with its threshold set by
an audio side-chain, typically from a sensing mic that measures the ambient sound
level. Each channel has a 2:1 expansion ratio below the floating threshold.

If at least one channel has an active music button, the Dugan Music System panel can
be opened by clicking the music tab on the right margin of the Master Pane. If more
than one group has a music channel, additional columns will appear.

NOTE:

See Setting Controls on page 29 to learn how to set them.
