[name]

The name of the object.

Displays the object's color. Clicking the icon opens the color selector.

Select a color to apply it to the object.

	Note
	Selecting the square at the far left of the color selector causes the object to inherit its parent's color. When a color has been explicitly chosen for an object, it is displayed with the palette icon and a yellow triangle in the lower-right corner, as shown.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

Indicates the number of elements in your project that contain direct references to the object. The icon is displayed in orange when references to the object exist, and in gray when no references exist.

Selecting the button opens the Reference View with the object's name in the References to: field.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Sets the display of the Property Editor's selected tabs. By default, there is one panel displaying only one selected tab. You can, however, click a splitter button to split the panel into two, either side by side or one on top of the other, for two different tabs. The currently selected option is highlighted with a background color.

	Note
	You cannot display the same tab in both panels. If you select the tab that is currently displayed in the other panel, then the other panel will automatically display another tab.

	Shortcuts for selecting tabs
	Press Ctrl and the number corresponding to the number of the Property Editor tab you want. For example, Ctrl+4 would select the RTPC tab if that were the fourth visible tab.

Enable HDR

Defines if the bus has HDR enabled.

Refer to Using HDR for more details.

Default value: false

Dynamics

Threshold

Defines the minimum input level, in dB, above which the HDR window may slide.

Refer to Working with the HDR Threshold for more details.

Default value: 0
Range: -96 to 96

HDR Ratio

This control behaves similarly to the ratio control in an audio compressor. It is a measure of how close the HDR window follows peaks.

At very large values, the HDR window follows peaks closely, so that two sounds, one peaking at 20 dB and the other peaking at 40 dB above threshold, come out at the same level of 0 dBFS, as long as they are not played at the same time. The difference between the two is that the latter will result in an attenuation of -20 dB to sounds below threshold, while the former will result in an attenuation of -40 dB. At lower ratios, say 4, a sound peaking at +20 dB comes out at +5 dB while a sound peaking at +40 dB comes out at +10 dB. The attenuation that results on sounds below threshold is -15 dB and -30 dB respectively.

Using lower ratios is therefore useful in order to gain back “global” dynamic range for sounds above threshold that is otherwise taken away by the HDR system. The drawback is that sounds may peak above threshold, so you need to keep sufficient headroom after the HDR bus in order to avoid clipping.

Refer to Working with the HDR Ratio for more details.

Default value: 100
Range: 1 to 100

Release Time

Defines the rate at which the HDR window falls back to rest when the target is below the current value.

In Linear Mode (see below), it is the time in seconds it takes to drop by approximately 10 decibels.

In Exponential Mode, it is the time in seconds it takes to reach approximately 0.37 (1/e) of the difference between the target and the current value.

Refer to Working with HDR Ballistics for more details.

Default value: 0
Range: 0 to 20
Units: s

HDR Release Time Mode

Defines the behavior when the window releases to a lower value.

Refer to Working with HDR Ballistics for more details.

Default value: Exponential

Window Top Output Game Parameter

HDR Window Top Output Game Parameter

Defines the Game Parameter that will receive the HDR window position.

Refer to Using the HDR Window as an Input Variable for more details.

HDR Output Game Parameter Min

Defines the minimum value that can be set on the Game Parameter.

Default value: 0
Range: -100 to 100
Units: dB

HDR Output Game Parameter Max

Defines the maximum value that can be set on the Game Parameter.

Default value: 100
Range: -100 to 100
Units: dB

Window

Displays the applicable HDR threshold dB range as a light blue rectangle within a full window range of -96 dB to 96 dB.
