The Detector parameters are on the left and the Suppressor parameters are on the right.
The center section includes the Detector and Suppressor displays and the Smoothing
slider.
DeEsser Detector parameters
• Frequency knob and field: Set the frequency range for analysis.
• Sensitivity knob and field: Set the degree of responsiveness to the input signal.
• Monitor pop-up menu: Choose the signal you want to monitor and adjust.
• Det(ector): Choose to monitor the isolated detector signal and to set the frequency
range.
• Sup(pressor): Choose to monitor the filtered suppressor signal and to set the
frequency range.
• Sens(itivity): Choose to remove the sound from the input signal in response to the
Sensitivity parameter.
• Off: Choose to hear the DeEsser output.
• Detector Display: Shows the frequency range for detection.
DeEsser Suppressor parameters
• Frequency knob and field: Set the frequency range for reduction.
• Strength knob and field: Set the amount of gain reduction for signals that surround the
specified frequency.
• Activity LED: Indicates active suppression in real time.
• Suppressor Display: Shows the frequency range for suppression.
DeEsser common parameter
• Smoothing slider and field: Set the reaction speed for the gain reduction start and end
phases. Smoothing controls both the attack and release times.
Denoiser
MainStage Legacy Denoiser overview
Denoiser eliminates or reduces any noise below a threshold volume level. It does this by
using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis to identify frequency bands of lower volume
and less complex harmonic structure, which it then reduces to the defined decibel level.
