Parameter Description
Audio You use the Audio parameter controls to select the most appropriate time compression and
expansion mode for the type of material you want to process, and to attenuate the gain of the
processed audio to avoid clipping.
Audio parameter controls let you select the following Mode settings to determine the correct
time compression and pitch shift algorithms:
• Monophonic — for processing monophonic sounds (such as a vocal melody)
• Polyphonic — for processing complex sounds (such as a multipart musical selection)
• Rhythmic — for processing percussive sounds (such as a mix or drum loop)
• Varispeed — for linking time and pitch change for tape-like pitch and speed change
effects, and postproduction workflows
You can also select the following frequency Range settings:
• Low — for low-range material, such as a bass guitar
• Mid — for mid-range material, such as male vocals
• High — for material with a high fundamental frequency, such as female vocals
• Wide — for more complex material that covers a broad frequency spectrum
n
In Polyphonic mode, Wide is the default Range setting and is usually best for all
material. In Monophonic mode, Mid is the default Range setting and usually matches
the range of most monophonic material. Range settings are not available when you
select either Rhythmic mode or Varispeed mode.
The Audio Gain control attenuates the input level to avoid clipping. Adjust the Gain control
from 0.0 dB to –6.0 dB to avoid clipping in the processed signal.
The Clip indicator is active when clipping occurs in the processed signal. If the processed
signal clips, remove the AudioSuite plug-in effect, attenuate the input gain using the Gain
control, and then reapply the plug-in.
The Level indicator displays the level of the output signal, which uses the full range of
plasma-level meter colors.
