It looks like the output clipper does in fact add a fixed amount of gain (only in Soft and Hard mode). Soft to Off then that's because you were doing quite a bit of clipping with the Soft setting, and with the Off setting you're no longer doing that.* So if the output level seems like it's raised when you switch from e.g. Think of the (soft) clipping function as a limiter with an infinite ratio and no time settings. *EDIT: Not true in Logic's clipper which adds about 3 dB of gain to the Soft clipping mode and 1.5 dB of gain to the Hard mode. But most importantly using any of these clipper settings will clip (limit) the output, which will result in a lower output.* Soft/hard are different "knee" settings for the clipper, which can affect the perceived output level, depending on how much the output is exceeded. So it's the other way around: activating clipping will potentially lower the output. "Off" doesn't apply any (soft) clipping to the signal. Is omelet & coffee a good breakfast for the fat guy if he survives your murder?.Are you the kind of person who would push the fat guy guy over the bridge when presented with the Trolley Problem?.What do you mean by 'If non-harmonic noise is introduced' in your Cheat Sheet? Is this something that i can control or is this something not within my control?.Is the saturation in your Cheat Sheet related to distortion knob or is it independent of it?.It says it applies clipping to 0dB, that what i would expect but why does it raise my signal though? And the Soft, Hard, and Clip setting will result in a smoothed or squared off peaks.īut when i turn the knob to Soft from Off, suddenly my signal is raised like i don't have a control over it.
Logic pro x compressor manual#
On logic manual it says it applies clipping above 0dB. Is this a bad practice for a beginner like me? To rely on visuals rather than sounds.Īnother question is about distortion knob. An example, i would lower the attack on a drum buss say from 15ms to 30ms to let some of the transients be less affected by the compressor.Įven when both settings (15ms & 30ms) let some of the transients pass, i would psychologically feel that the 30ms is a better decision than the 15ms even when i can't hear the difference. I'm guessing this is because i'm fairly new to mixing?īecause of this, most of the time, i rely on the visuals. I use logic compressors a lot! Although in most cases, i can't hear the difference whether i make +-10ms or +-20ms moves to the attack and release.
