MODE INDEPENDENT PARAMETERS
REDUCTION AMOUNT (-60dB TO 0dB)
The reduction fader sets the noise removal’s amount. Naturally, a greater reduction
value will reduce the noise further than a low value.
TIP: It is best to be careful with amount—typically, a reduction value of -6 to -15
should be enough—anything more can reduce the perceived ‘brilliance’ of your
material, and might even remove parts of the music signal.
CEILING (0dB to –99dB)
The ceiling parameter allows you to set an upper limit for the noise reduction process.
Levels that go beyond the ceiling will never be touched by the denoise process, no
matter what the captured (or automatically generated) fingerprint would remove.
Instead of setting the ceiling parameter, you could of course also manipulate the fin-
gerprint in draw mode.
BIAS (-20dB TO +20dB)
If the fingerprint does not perfectly represent your noise floor, you can make further
adjustments to the fingerprint with the Bias parameter. This will increase / decrease
the fingerprint’s noise level by up to 20dB.
TIP: Bias can be especially useful when you are using a fingerprint from another
recording, i.e. when you are editing an existing preset based on a Fingerprint from
another audio file. As the Fingerprints do not completely match, you may want to Bias
the Fingerprint to meet the needs of a different audio file. If your only chance to get a
good fingerprint is during the fade out of your material, you will want to increase the
Bias value.
ATTACK (10ms TO 999ms)
To remove as much noise from your signal as possible, use a short attack time
(10ms). Try increasing the attack time for "softer” processing, for example if you are
working with a less than ideal fingerprint.
CHARACTER
Generally, it is advised to leave the ‘Character’ parameter at default; the default
setting will work in most cases. When you consider the ‘Character’ parameter as an
extreme fine tune parameter for the character of the Denoise algorithm, you will be
able to very subtly adjust the behavior of Denoiser. Changing the ‘Character’ will have
an impact on the other parameters, please get to know the conditions described
below.
There is a psychoacoustic phenomenon where the reduction of noise will "trick” your
ear into perceiving that the processed audio is ‘darker’ or ‘less brilliant’ than the clean
signal. This happens simply because the high frequencies from the noise are removed
along with the noise. This is especially true of Type 1. By selecting Type 2, the
