The parameters of the Energizer
The available effect presets cover typical areas of usage and are already set up
as presets in order to, for example, format a CD for playback on the car radio,
use as a soundtrack for your home entertainment system or for restoring
distorted frequency response curves of old records. The Energizer can have a
drastic effect on the sound even if only small changes are made to the
parameters. So that you know which faders to change to get the audio results
you want, the following section describes the available faders in detail.
Low tune: Here you can tune the bass processor to a specific input frequency
(between 50 and 150 Hz). This is the preferred frequency at which, for
example, a kick drum or an acoustic/electric bass is played. The phase
position of the bass range can be influenced according to the set frequency,
resulting in deeper sounds sounding more "succinct" and "broader".
Low attack: Using the transient recognition fader the attack behavior of the
tuned range can be increased (fader to the right) or decreased (to the left). You
can use this to create a "hard" or "dynamic" bass foundation or have a range
sound "legato" or "soft.
Low mix: Here the processed bass signal is mixed with the unprocessed input
signal. Please note that material that is already highly modulated may become
overmodulated/distorted. For strong increases in the bass you should, if
required, reduce the source material in order to have enough reserves. It is
also recommended that you use the Audio Cleaning Lab Limiter as the next
step.
High tune: This fader specifies the input frequency of the high tone circuitry
(between 1 and 10 kHz). A part of the input signal is filtered and a phase lag is
created depending on its frequencies. Simultaneously, the dynamic harmony is
enhanced. When turned to the left you can influence the mids and highs of the
signal so that, for example, the "articulation" of speech and instruments can be
edited. The further up the frequency you go, the more the harmonies or bright
sounds, like drum cymbals, are registered. You can use this to add "shine" or
"silkiness" to your recordings.
