How to type specific ratio amount in Multiband Dynamics?

Post by Zachariah Moreno » Fri Oct 21, 2022 3:25 am

When I try to enter a specific amount on the ratios in the multi-band dynamics live device it always gives me a ratio of 1:0.50. How do I enter a specific amount without it doing this every time.

Yeah, it is weird.

1:1 is 1, 1:2 is 0.5, 1:10 is 0.1, etc.

1:0.90 is 1.11, 1:0.80 is 1.25, 1:0.70 is 1.42, etc. (rounded)

1:0.50 is actually 2 (it will make sound over the threshold 2 times louder)

So you have to type 2 to get 1:0.50, you have to type 0.1 to get 1:10, etc.

With the addition that you can skip the zero before a decimal point. So .2 instead of 0.2.
