… is a so called "Transient AGC processor".

Can you explain what that marketing term means?[quote author=”JesseG”][quote author=”Benny”]… is a so called "Transient AGC processor".[/quote]
Can you explain what that marketing term means?[/quote]Could he mean a faster compressor or a limiter riding on top of the AGC compressor bands, maybe?
"Transient AGC processor"
This is a wrong term (misunderstanding of Benny).
I think, too that he means an AGC processor plus an extra transient processor !?Mother google gave me this link:
http://broadcastengineering.com/audio/j … evel_1208/quote :The system uses an adaptive loudness control algorithm that simultaneously involves three basic circuit designs. These include an adaptive AGC, a transient processor and a distortion-free brick wall limiter. For the leveler (AGC and transient processor), Jünger Audio uses a unique combination of level detectors to instantly analyze the incoming audio signal. Dependent on the analysis, the resulting gain change is applied. Two gain change elements together are working in the chain — the transient processor as the fast gain change element and the AGC as the slow gain control element.But is the Transient processor not just a simple AGC processor?

The main slow gain change, and TWO other dynamics processors to handle much faster gain changes, of which the second can even be placed after the multiband if the preset designer decides to.
That’s what the two darker colored parts of the AGC meter are when they kick in sometimes, if needed. But Leif never made a big deal out of it or nicknamed it with some marketing term, even tho it is kind of a big deal in the vastly expanded freedom it allows preset designers (and eventually consultants) to create their sounds… once you get the hang of tuning it to work in unison with the rest of the architecture.
So "What Breakaway not has" is false. Breakaway has. 🙂
What’s even more important is how intelligent the AGC and additional "transient AGC processor" (or in Breakaway’s case "processors") have. Breakaway’s AGC is bar none that I can tell, although I would love to hear the Omnia.11 being tortured, especially on that The Police track, and also on a few of the sudden loudness increases.
