2 QUICK START – CREATING A NEW PRESET
This chapter presents a very easy and fast way to create a new preset beginning from a factory one.
2.1 USING THE WIZARD TO SET DENSITY, COMPRESSION AND SOUND
‘FOOTPRINT’
Pick out the factory preset which best fits the desired ‘sound footprint’
open the 6-BAND AUDIO PROCESS BLOCK and then click
the WIZARD tab
Enter the WIZARD screen. Alter the listed Macroparameters
very slowly while listening how the original output sound
modifies. When satisfied with the new sound, click OK. Click
UNDO to discard last modifications or ESC to quit the screen
without saving.
NOTE: value ranges shown in the WIZARD window are
tailored on the processing Preset being modified and do not
represent any ‘absolute’ limit of the Falcon 50 FM processing.
Enter the EQUALIZATION block (EQ), and modify the filter
parameters first and then consider each filter effect by turning
it on and off from the relevant function. It is possible to set
cross-frequencies between filters and the amplitude of each
filter window. Click UNDO to discard last modifications or ESC
to quit the screen without saving.
Enter the STEREO ENHANCER block (SE) and alter its
parameters at will. At the moment, keep unaltered both
Brilliance and Multiband Controls. Click UNDO to discard last
modifications or ESC to quit the screen without saving.
Double click the BAND 1 block: the SUPER BASS menu will
be shown. Alter the Bass Type and BassLevel at will and then
consider the filter intervention by turning it on and off. Listen to
its actual effect and keep the preferred setting. Enter controls
of each Band and try to alter their PreDrive controls. You may
increase them by up to 1 dB, while You may decrement them
at will.
Light modifications are also permitted in the Band Mixer stage
(Band Mixer + Final Limiter block), with increments by up to
0.5dB, while decrements have no limits. Once reached the
desired sound stamp, keep it listening carefully to for a
sufficiently long time. Also adjust the Power Attenuation
(PowerAtt) parameter so that the PA meter on the screen acts
as little as possible while applying a slight attenuation. If there
still is something wrong with the sound (that is something
different from a specific sound detail) and You are unable to
find a relationship with any band in particular, slightly reduce
the Final Limiter Drive, or switch to a more smooth Clipping
mode (f.i. from Hardest to Hard)
