2.7 Distortion Generation 2 OPERATION
and the output should be set to max (0db) to provide full output modulation. These
settings will establish a virtual operating level at –6dBr within the mixing
environment, with a possible overload area provided by the Inflator process for
short-term level peaks to be accommodated without clipping. The Inflator input and
output meters can then be used as main output buss level reference monitors during
the mix session.
2.7 Distortion Generation
For distortion generation, it is best to proceed initially with the EFFECT level set to
maximum so that the nature of any distortion can be assessed. The idea is to
increase the input level with the Inflator fully operational, and the
OUTPUT control
reduced somewhat to avoid output clipping, whilst listening to the results with
various degrees of deliberate and significant signal overdrive. The
CURVE control
and
CLIP 0dB
selector will both affect the sound of the results, depending on the
programme material being processed. However, the best results are most likely to be
obtained with the
CURVE
control set to its mid (0) position, as this produces the
least higher order harmonic levels and most resembles the dynamics behaviour of
valve systems. In general, it is best to avoid band-splitting mode if aiming for natural
warmth and valve overdrive sounds. Input clipping will dramatically change the
nature of the distortion in overdrive situations and you are encouraged to experiment
with the
CLIP 0dB selector both on and off, and changing the order of plug-ins in the
signal path.
