16.13 Multiband Compression with ReaXComp
16.13 使用ReaXComp进行多段压缩
Applied to the Master, Multiband Compression can be a useful tool for adding body, warmth and volume to your final mix. It is outside the scope of this guide to suggest just how heavily or lightly you should apply your Multiband Compressor. Many audio engineers believe quite strongly that the contemporary trend being currently pursued by the major record companies takes multiband compression too far. Be that as it may, a multiband compressor works by applying different rates of compression to different frequency bands. This lets you shape the sound much more precisely than is possible with a simple compressor.
应用到主控,多段压缩可以是一个有用的工具,为您的最终混音增加质感,温暖和音量。这超出了本指南的范围,建议您应该适当地使用您的多段压缩器。许多音频工程师非常坚定地认为,主要唱片公司目前所倡导的当代趋势使多段压缩走得太远。尽管如此,多段压缩器的工作原理是,对不同的频段应用不同的压缩设置。这使您可以比使用简单的压缩器更精确地塑造声音。
The ReaXComp default settings include 4 bands. These are 0 to 200 Hz, 200 Hz to 1,000 Hz, 1,000 Hz to 5,000 Hz and above 5,000 Hz. However you can add extra bands or delete superfluous ones. You can also change the band frequencies as you wish. For example, if you increase the top frequency of Band 1 to, say, 250 Hz, then that automatically becomes also the starting frequency for Band 2. If you have not used a Multiband Compressor before, then you are advised to start cautiously and become more adventurous as you gain in knowledge and confidence. You can experiment on any of the sample All Through The Night project files that you have used elsewhere in this User Guide.
ReaXComp默认设置包括4个频段。它们是0到200赫兹、200赫兹到1,000赫兹、1,000赫兹到5,000赫兹和5,000赫兹以上。不过,您可以添加额外的频段或删除多余的频段。您也可以根据需要更改频段的频率。例如,如果您将频段1的最高频率提高到250 Hz,那么它也会自动成为频段2的起始频率。如果你以前没有使用过多段压缩器,那么我们建议你开始时要谨慎,随着知识和信心的增加,你会变得更有冒险精神。您可以在本《用户手册》中其他地方使用的任何一个示例工程文件All ThroughThe Night中进行实验。
Example
示例
1. Open one of your sample project files.
1.打开一个示例工程文件。
2. Insert ReaXComp in the FX window for the Master.
2.在主控的FX窗口中插入ReaXComp。
3. Play your project from the beginning.
3.从头开始播放你的工程。
4. It is quite likely that at this stage ReaXComp will have no effect on the sound. This will be the case if, as shown right, the peak levels (green vertical bars) fall short of the threshold settings (red horizontal lines) for each band (see example) But you can still learn something!
4.在这个阶段,ReaXComp很可能不会对声音产生影响。如右图所示,如果峰值电平(绿色垂直条)低于每个频段的阈值设置(红色水平线)(请参见示例),则会出现这种情况,但您仍然可以学到一些东西!
5. Enable the Solo current band feature.
5.启用“Solo current band(独奏当前频段)”功能。
6. As the song plays, select in turn each of the four tabs, 1, 2, 3 and 4. This will enable you to hear separately each of the frequency ranges that you are working on.
6.播放歌曲时,依次选择四个选项卡(1、2、3和4)中的每一个。这将使您能够分别听到您正在处理的每个频率范围。
7. Now disable the Solo Current Band feature. Disable Auto makeup gain. This will need to be done individually for each of the four band. If Auto makeup gain were to be left enabled, the volume of our mix would be pumped up after we make our other changes.
7.现在禁用“Solo current band(独奏当前频段)”功能。禁用“Auto makeup gain(自动补偿增益)”。这需要为四个频段中的每个单独完成。如果启用“Auto makeup gain(自动补偿增益)”功能,则在我们进行其他更改后,混合后的音量将会增加。
8. As the song plays, adjust the threshold for each of the bands until they come just below the peaks for each band. An example of this is shown here.
8.当歌曲播放时,调整每个频段的阈值,直到它们略低于每个频段的峰值。这里显示了一个这样的示例。
9. The default Ratio setting of 2:1 is quite a “safe” level. Try increasing the ratio for each of your thresholds up to around 4:1. If you find this makes the sound too compressed, ease the levels back towards 2:1. Remember, this is an example, not a model!
9.默认的压缩比设置为2:1,这是一个相当“安全”的级别。尝试将每个阈值的压缩比提高到4:1左右。如果你发现这样做会使声音过度被压缩,请将级别调回2:1。记住,这只是个例子,不是模型!
10. Even now, with these fairly conservative settings, you should notice the difference with ReaXComp enabled and set to bypass. When enabled, the different tracks should bind together better into a mix.
10.即使是现在,使用这些相当保守的设置,您也应该注意到启用ReaXComp和设置为旁通时,他们之间的差异。启用后,不同的轨道应该会更好地融入到混音中。
11. If you wish, you can experiment with the various other controls, especially the Knee. This setting determines how suddenly or gradually the compression is applied.
11.如果您愿意,可以尝试各种其他控件,尤其是“Knee(拐点)”。此设置确定应用压缩的突然程度或渐进性。
12. You can also experiment with the Gain controls if you wish, both for individual bands and for your overall mix, but don't overdo it.
12.如果您愿意,您也可以尝试使用增益控件,无论是针对单个频段还是针对您的整体混音,但不要做得太过火了。
Metering: As with ReaComp and several other Cockos plug-ins, ReaXComp allows you to choose which channel information is used for the visual display. This can be all channels (the default), all channels (with no FFT) or any selected channel. Channel analysis is explained earlier in this chapter where ReaEQ is discussed.
电平表: 与ReaComp和其他几个Cockos插件一样,ReaXComp允许您选择用于视觉显示的通道信息。这可以是全部通道(默认)、全部通道(无FFT)或任何选中的通道。本章前面讨论了ReaEQ,对通道分析进行了解释。
Channel Modes: Multi-mono and multi-stereo channel modes are also supported, as well as the default stereo mode. Channel modes are explained in the section where ReaComp is discussed.
通道模式: 也支持多单声道和多立体声通道模式,以及默认立体声模式。通道模式在讨论ReaComp的部分中进行了说明。
Using ReaXComp: Some Tips
使用ReaXComp: 一些提示
Right-click over any band handle to display a context menu. Options include using large band handles.
在任意频段柄上单击鼠标右键以显示上下文菜单。选项包括使用大的频段手柄。
Don’t use too many bands. Too many independently compressed bands can make your mix sound disjointed. Many mastering engineers use only as few as three bands.
不要用太多的频段。太多独立压缩的频段会让你的混音听起来不连贯。许多精通技术的工程师只用三个频段。
Listen closely to the changes in sound when adjusting settings. Take your time here.
调整设置时,请仔细聆听声音的变化。慢慢来。
The Attack setting determines how much time passes after the signal rises above the threshold before the compressor kicks in.
“Attack(启动)”设置确定信号上升到阈值以上后压缩器启动前经过的时间。
The Release setting determines how much time passes after the signal falls back below the threshold before the compressor is released.
“Release(释放)”设置确定信号回落到阈值以下后压缩器释放前经过的时间。
Try to adjust the Attack and Release settings so as to make the compressor come in and out unnoticed.
尝试调整启动和释放设置,以使压缩器进出时没有明显的痕迹。
Especially when first using a Multiband Compressor in the Master, it is advisable to use the Gain settings only to compensate for loss of volume due to compression, not to pump the signal up. A notable exception here might be where one bandwidth needs to be adjusted slightly relative to the others.
尤其是在主控中首次使用多频段压缩器时,建议仅使用增益设置来补偿由于压缩而造成的音量损失,而不是向上提升信号。这里一个值得注意的例外可能是一个带宽需要相对于其他带宽稍做调整。
Consider placing a limiter (e.g. LOSER’s Master Limiter) after the Multiband Compressor in your FX Chain.
考虑在FX链中的多频段压缩器之后放置限幅器(例如LOSER的Master Limiter)。
Another, and completely, separate use for a Multiband Compressor is to compress a very specific frequency within a track, for example as a de-esser or de-popper on a vocal track.
多段压缩器的另一个完全独立的用途是压缩轨道内非常特定的频率,例如,作为人声轨道上的去齿音或噼啪声。
