Each object can also have its own individual
effect settings. Click on "Object FX" on the object
itself in the master track.
The "Object FX" screen (object editor) opens in a
new dialog and displays additional effect devices.
These effects can be set for every object in the
master track separately.
The “Object FX” dialog in the Mastering section contains an echo/reverb
device for adding Surround Sound to individual objects, and in addition to the
multi-band compressor (“MultiMax”), a “simple” compressor is also included
(“Dynamics”).
Spectral Cleaning
Up until now, the workflow was extremely easy: load your material, adjust your
effects – finished. Now let's take a look at an application that requires a bit
more preparation, but can also solve complicated problems. This includes
filtering out short individual audio disturbances.
Spectral Cleaning in the "Remove" section can be useful for editing live
recordings, where a single cough in the audience threatens to ruin an
otherwise beautiful pianissimo effect. It can also be used to remove short
distortions such as coughing, passing cars, a whistle, crackling or short drop
outs.
Spectral Cleaning can be applied directly onto the track per mouse click.
Here, however, we will explain the functionality within the effect module, which
offers more possibilities.
Here's how it works: The clearly audible noise has a different acoustic
signature than the rest of the material, otherwise it wouldn't be clearly audible.
Based on this signature, the noise can be identified and filtered. After it has
been identified, the audio material's frequency spectrum is analyzed before
and after the disturbance. Based on this "acoustic environment", frequencies
are calculated that can be used to fill the gap that was created after filtering
out the disruptive signature. Ideally, a simulation of the "normal" background
acoustics replaces the cough, almost as if it were removed magically.
Let's roll:
First, set the play cursor roughly to the position of the distortion.
Open the Spectral Cleaning Editor.
