Versatile multi-tasking plug-in from Waves.
With compression, expansion, gating, and equalization, the C1 Parametric Compander is a true production workhorse, featuring three independent modules which can be used separately or combined for maximum flexibility.
Compressor/Expander
Bypass: Enables or disables the module
LowRef mode: Low-level reference conventional compressor operating mode
PeakRef mode: Peak-level reference preserves peak levels (auto makeup gain)
Make-up gain: -40dB to +40dB
Threshold: -100dB to 0dB
Ratio: 1:1 to 50:1 (compression), 0.5:1 to 1:1 (expansion)
Cancellation mode: -50:1 to -5:1 to cancel out very loud signals
Attack: 0.01ms to 1,000ms
Release: 1ms to 10,000ms
PDR: Program dependant release
EQ Mode: Wideband, sidechain or split
Gain reduction meter: -36dB to +24dB
Control level meter: -100dB to 0dB
Gate/Expander
Bypass: Enables or disables the module
Gate/expander control: switches between gate and expander modes
Floor -inf. to +12dB (gate/expander mode), -100N to -10N negative polarity (expander mode)
Gate thresholds: Gate open and gate close
Attack: 0.01ms to 1,000ms
Release: 1ms to 10,000ms
Hold: 0.01ms to 5,000ms
EQ mode: Wideband, sidechain or split
Gain reduction meter: -108dB to +12dB
Control level meter: -100dB to 0dB
Parameter Linking: Links the compressor/expander and gate/expander controls
Filter/EQ
Two complementary bands: Active/sidechain path, and passive path
Crossover slope: 18dB/octave to 36dB/octave
Type: Band-pass, band-reject, hi-pass and low-pass
Frequency: 16Hz to 21Khz
Q: 0.1 to 0.6
Lookahead: Yes/No
Key Mode: Stereo, left keys right, right keys left
Monitor: Audio, sidechain or passive
Output Gain Fader: -40dB to +18dB
Output Meter: -30dB to 0dB with peak hold and clip indicators
