 Cassette NR-B decoder: MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab SE simulates decoding
of Dolby B + C noise suppression if no Dolby player is available. Casettes
recorded with Dolby B or C sound more muffled and slurry if played back
without corresponding Dolby.
 DeEsser: These special presets are for removing overstressed hiss sounds
from speech recordings.
Compressor
The compressor is an automated dynamic volume control. It limits overall
dynamics, maintains the volume of loud passages so they stay loud, and
increases the volume of low passages. A compressor can be put to good use
for bass recordings and vocals, but also as a master effect in the mixer for
subsequent editing of the overall sound.
Processing is carried out using a "look-ahead" method, similar to high-quality
studio appliances. There are no peak overmodulations or other artifacts, as the
algorithm can never be 'surprised' by sudden level peaks.
Ratio: This parameter controls the amount of compression.
Threshold: Set the volume threshold, below and above which compression is
applied.
Attack: Sets the algorithm's reaction speed to increasing sound levels. Short
attack times can create an undesirable "pumping" sound, as the volume is
quickly reduced or increased correspondingly.
Release: Sets the algorithm's reaction speed to falling sound levels.
Special presets
In the compressor you can use the presets to open further special functions.
Dynamic expander: Too high a compression rate will result in audible noise
(usually defined as a pumping sound). Radio recordings in particular are
recorded with very high compression rates to increase the perceived volume.
Unfortunately, compression reduces the dynamics (interval between the
quietest and loudest part). The expander enhances the dynamics of the
recording.
