(8.D.2.2 ) AGCMultiplierFract32
- Catherine Spain
Overview
Mono x N-channel multiplier
Discussion
The AGCFract32 Multiplier is used to multiply N interleaved audio channels by a single mono audio signal. A common use for the AGCMultipler is in automatic gain control systems, where the gain signal is taken from the limiter core or gain computer module. Using a single (mono) gain control signal for a multichannel input ensures that the balance between the audio channels is maintained, and allows for sidechain processing.
The postShift parameter can be used to adjust the scaling of the output, or allow multiplies of values larger than 1.
e.g. A postShift of -1 will scale the output between -2 and 2, if the input was between -1 and 1.
The user can multiply 0.75 with a shift of -1 and assume normal scaling and achieve a multiply of 1.5. A positive postShift can increase the dynamic range when multiplying with small numbers. It is up to the user to track all shifts in the layout.
