I have to put some light on all your questions.
Our dynamic processors use two different ways to analyze the signal:
- The first one is a regular RMS detection based on le signal level. That's the base of the dynamic processing.
- The second one generates a dynamic value. It doesn't rely any more on the signal level since it's based on the signal complexity.
This dynamic value is used in Solera when using the Angel's Share and the Hysteresis settings:
- Angel's Share is a mix control between the RMS detector and the dynamic detector. It relaxes ratio value depending of the signal complexity.
A lower ratio is applied to complex signal. Angel's Share is a sort of controlled auto ratio.
- Hysteresis is also a mix control between the RMS detector and the dynamic detector. But it affects the threshold value. Hysteresis is a sort of controlled auto threshold.
I hope all is now perfectly clear about Angel's Share and Hysteresis parameters. Forget the maths, open your mind, and trust your ears.
