Vocal Channel - Compression Threshold

PostMon Apr 23, 2018 12:37 pm

I have just started using the new FairlightFX tools for a current production and so far i love everything that was added in DR15!

I have a question about the Vocal Channel tool.

I read the manual (New Features Guide) but couldn't find if the Threshold is 'hard' or 'soft' knee. :?:

Could someone from BMD clear this up? Thanks in advance!

All the Fairlight Compressors appear to be Hard Knee.

Judging from what i hear that would be my take as well. I hope BMD can confirm this so we know for sure.

This is an old question, but...
Just noticed that DaVinci Resolve version 18 has a "Knee" setting in the compressor (double click "Dynamics" box in FairLight). Increasing the value softens the knee.
Just what *I* wanted.
