Effects menu 405
Noise Gate: This cleaning function completely suppresses noises which are below a
certain volume threshold. This lets you create song transitions that are entirely noise-
free, for example.
Leveler: This setting automatically sets the entire material to an identical volume
level. The volume control knob is no longer required. You can use this function to
equalize greater volume differences within a song. To equalize volume variations
between different songs, you can also use the function "Loudness adaptation" from
the Effects menu.
DeEsser: These special presets are for removing overstressed hiss sounds from
speech recordings.
AM-Track SE
This familiar and high-quality vintage compressor offers a combination analog
compressor and tape simulator. High-quality tape machine sound emulation makes
typical aspects of the large, saturated sound characteristics of magnetic recordings a
digital-quality reality.
efx_Compressor
The (essential) eFX Compressor (view page 129) is a simple, efficient tool for
reducing dynamics with soft characteristics and adaptive control processing. It is a
very musical compressor.
Frequency/Filter
Rack EQ
The 10-band equalizer subdivides the frequency spectrum into ten areas (‘bands’) and
equips them with separate volume controls. This way it is possible to create many
impressive effects, from a simple boosting of the bass to complete elimination of a
certain range of frequencies. Note: If low frequencies are boosted too much, the
overall sound level is heavily increased which may lead to distortion. In this event,
adjust the overall volume downward by using the "master volume" control situated in
the main screen.
Slider controls: Each of the ten frequency ranges can be separately boosted or turned
down with the ten volume controls.
