Most of the effects modules, i.e. equalizers, compressors, reverb, echo, etc.,
can be used in several of the above versions. However, they are only
described at one position within this documentation. All effects and effect
plug-ins that are NOT offline effects and can be activated via the "Offline
effects menu" are explained in the following sections of this chapter. The other
effects which can also be activated via the "Offline effects" menu, are
described in more detail in the "Offline effects menu" chapter.
Saving effect parameters (preset mechanism)
The effect dialogs contain preset selection boxes. These presets are saved and
recalled to/from the "FX preset" directory (a subdirectory of the main
Samplitude 11.5 Producer program directory).
If a preset is not located in this directory, it still can be loaded via the "Load
setup" function, but it will not automatically appear in the selection box, so
you'll need to browse for it.
Effects that are added/launched from within the mixer or object editor are
pre-configured with the values assigned to the virtual project. If the virtual
project is to adopt particular changes made to the settings in the effects
dialog, then you will need to click on "OK" to transfer them to the VIP.
You also have the possibility to apply the settings of the last destructive effect;
a corresponding entry can be found in the "Options" box. If there is no
destructive application of the effect, then the parameters selected in the list
entries will be applied to the default parameters for destructive editing.
Dehisser
The Dehisser eliminates regular ”white” noise typically produced by analogue
tape recordings, microphones, pre-amplifiers, or converters.
Noise level: Set the Dehisser’s input threshold as precisely as possible. Low
settings result in incomplete deletion of the hissing. An incomplete deletion of
the hissing produces artifacts and should be avoided. High settings produce
dull results. Useful signals (e.g. the blow of a wind instrument) that are similar
to hissing are also filtered away. If the level of the hissing is low, the setting is
no problem.
Audio type: Lets you set the audio material that is to be edited; the algorithm
is adjusted accordingly.
