EDITING DE-ESSERS
Parameters of the De-Esser
The parameters included on the DDP for De-Essing operations are as follows:
Off/on
: Same thing as all the others. When you are not using the de-esser, it should be turned off.
Frequency control from 800Hz to 8kHz
: The Frequency control is much like an audio threshold point as it
relates to frequency, rather than amplitude or level. As you scroll through the control area you will see the curve
move in accordance to your settings. You are setting the frequency point at which de-essing will begin to occur.
For the femail voice a good starting point is in the 5-8kHz range, and for males the range is a little lower, about
3-6kHz.
Amount from 0% to 100%
: The Amount control varies the amount of de-essing. For light de-essing set it low,
and for a heavier effect, set it higher.
EDITING THE SIDECHAIN EQ AND THE IN-LINE EQ
Parameters of the EQ
The parameters included on the DDP for EQ operations are as follows:
Off/on
: Like any other element, the EQ must be turned on.
Monitor off/on
: If you are using a program number that has the sidechain functionality enabled, the next para-
meter you see will be MONITOR. The sidechain monitor lets you hear the signal you are using in the sidechain
path, as opposed to the signal you are using for the audio ins and outs. This can be useful for identifying and
centering on specific frequencies.
TSE mode: Dark, Warm, None, Light, Bright
: There are five TSE™ Tape Saturation Emulation settings in the
DDP. TSE™ is tied to the TYPE IV™ Conversion process, and allows you to add definition to your recordings in
pleasing amounts of your choosing. Because TSE™ is related to the analog to digital conversion process, its set-
tings are inactive while processing a digital source. (See Appendix 1.)
