Mastering tool makes life easier. Lately, I have been working with Compression, one of the basic tools. The digital recorder makes it fairly easy. Mixdown mode sets track volumes, track EQ, and Reverb. Mastering adjusts overall EQ and Compression. Compression options are type, for example: dance, voice, classic, rock, etc. Then, open compression parameters: threshold, ratio, and level, in three bands. That is where it gets interesting, because user can select high, mid, and low bands for each set of adjustments. Especially useful to be able to turn up or down the volume on the bass, mid, or treble section of the wave. What a difference.
Now, fast forward to the DAW. Mine are Reaper, which has hundreds of effects, and Audacity, which is streamlined. My question is, I can't find an ability to select high, mid, or low for threshold, ratio, or level. Typically, parameters are 1) input and output gain (dB) 2)Reduction (dB) 3) Threshold (dB) 4) Amount (X:1) 5) Attack (MS) 6) Release (MS) and (6) Select for auto. Ten Band digital EQ is not the answer.
Anyone know how to adjust the volume of the ranges? THX.
