3.7 AGL

The Automatic Gain Limiter (AGL) is a feedback mechanism that can be used to automatically control the audio signal amplitude or dynamic range within specified limits. The automatic gain limiting is done by sensing the audio signal level using an alpha filter energy structure at the output of the AGL then adjusting the gain based on whether the signal level is above or below the defined threshold. Three decisions made by the AGL are engage, disengage, or do nothing. The rate at which the AGL engages or disengages depends on the attack and release settings respectively.

Figure 3-16 shows the AGL Tuning Window. By default, the AGL is disabled and can be enabled by clicking the ON/OFF switch on the top right corner.

    Threshold (db)This parameter sets the threshold at which the compressor is activated. Lowering the threshold causes the compression to be activated at lower volume levels. Once the signal exceeds this threshold, compression is applied.
    Alpha (ms)This parameter configures the sharpness of the compression knee of the AGL.
    Attack Rate (0 – 1)This parameter controls how quickly compression is applied to the signal. Higher values causes the compressor to respond to signals quickly, while lower values decrease the response time.
    Release Rate (0 – 1)This parameter controls how quickly compression is removed from the signal as the signal gets quieter. Higher values cause the compressor to release from signals quickly, while lower values decrease the release time.
