2.2 Direct and Band Splitting Modes 2 OPERATION
often be accommodated effectively in the overdrive ranges without excessive
reduction of sound quality or loss of average modulation. Please note that in this
case it is important to ensure that the peaks from any prior compression are not
clipped between plug-ins, by making sure that the output signal from the
compressor does not quite hit peak levels
before
applying it to the Inflator plug-in.
When using
BAND SPLIT
modes for loudness enhancement, using the Inflator with
CLIP 0dB off may produce a reduction in unwanted intermodulation side effects
when pushing for absolute maximum loudness, regardless of possible output
clipping etc.
When using direct mode (without band splitting) for distortion generation, the results
will be quite different with or without input clipping, and may produce useful artistic
effects in either circumstance. The Inflator is able to soften clips that occur, either
because of the
CLIP 0dB
setting, or even those that happen before its own
processing in prior plug-ins. Therefore overdriving the Inflator with the CLIP 0dB
function both on and off, or even applying the Inflator to the output of other plug-ins
driven into overdrive, can produce a vast range of artistic effects. To explore the full
range of possibilities, the importance of experimentation cannot be overstressed.
2.2 Direct and Band Splitting Modes
The Inflator application can run in either direct or band splitting modes. In normal
operation, the complete frequency range of the programme material is processed
simultaneously. This is usually the best way to run the process under most
conditions. One significant advantage of using this mode is that the output relative
peak level will not get larger than peak level, however much Effect is applied.
Therefore more overall enhancement is possible before clipping the output, and
louder more powerful results are possible. Also, when used for distortion generation,
the relative phase of the distortion harmonics are better preserved when band
splitting is not used, so accurate clip rounding is possible, thus producing a much
more pleasing effect.
