Podcast Mic Preset
Designed to
process mic channels (or spoken voice channels, teleconference system inputs, etc.) used for online
streaming or podcasts.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
NS1
provides noise suppression to substantially reduce background noise without affecting the vocal audio
source from the mic.
•
Q4
provides the front-end EQ to roll off low frequencies and reduce/eliminate “booms” and “pops” in the voice
processing. The preset also has a small boost between 1-2kHz to improve the clarity of the speaking voice.
•
Sibilance Live
greatly reduces the “S” and “Sh” sounds that occur in speech, which can be overemphasized
when amplified. This plugin process is very transparent and maintains the natural timbre and resonance of the
speaker’s voice.
•
Playlist Rider
provides automatic levelling of the audio signal to maintain a consistent vocal audio level for
the stream.
QA Mic Preset
Designed to
support a broad range of handheld mics that may be used for audience Q&A. These mics are usually
placed in the room, and thus “in front” of the main PA. Some adjustments may be needed to fine-tune for a specific
installation.
Processing Chain by Plugins:
•
X-FDBK
provides real-time feedback suppression. X-FDBK identifies the precise frequencies that cause
feedback and surgically cuts them, dramatically shortening the setup time required.
