526 EFFECTS MENU
Consolidate transients: Use this parameter to influence the algorithm so that the
distortion removal works more contained with transients. With noisy jazz or pop recordings,
for example, this results in a clear improvement.
Correction
With this parameter the level of the noise sample's spectrum will be lowered or raised. This
effect is visualized in the graphic display: The yellow curve represents the original noise
sample spectrum, and the blue curve is the corrected spectrum, which will be used by the
algorithm to remove noise. Low settings can lead to incomplete noise removal or increased
artifacts. High settings can cause discoloration of the original sample, phase-like distortion,
or chirping modulation effects. The occurrence of these effects is dependent on the type of
noise as well as the consistency of the original material. A higher-level noise does not
necessarily require a higher correction level.
Damping
Here you can set noise damping in dB.
When does it make sense to leave some level of noise? When working with gramophone
recordings, it can be desirable to leave some of that "gramophone feeling" in. Background
noise from on location reports does not need to be removed completely. When noise is not
completely eliminated, the occurrence of artifacts or discoloration is reduced. Think of the
process in terms of reduction, not 100% elimination. As always, be patient, try a number of
settings, and select the ones that deliver optimal results.
Options
Adaptive correction: Activate this switch to achieve time-adjustable, automatic
customization of the value for the "Correction" parameter. While the DeNoiser is working
you can the monitor the constant adjustment of the "Correction" fader in the input field.
Using "Adaptive correction" makes most sense with distortions with variable noise levels.
Maximize tonal distortion dampen: Removes tonal distortions such as humming or camera
sounds; activate this button to remove this unwanted material. The "Dampen" parameter
only affects the non-tonal portions of the signal (hissing). This may lead to better results,
since the dampening of tonal signal portions creates fewer artifacts than the dampening of
non-tonal distortions. The resolution value should amount to at least 4096.
DeRumbler: Frequencies below 40 Hz will be considerably dampened. This way impact
noise like footsteps or rumbling on records can be removed.
Inverse: If this switch is activated, you will hear only the part of the signal that is removed
by the algorithm. When the parameters are set optimally, you will hear the complete
distortion and just moderate components of the desired signal. If the parameters are not
set up well enough, larger components of the music or spoken signal will be filtered, which
can lead to discoloration of the sound. However, the part of the artifact resulting from the
remaining components of the distortions is hardly decipherable by monitoring the inverse
signal
Bypass: The algorithm is removed from the signal route. This way the unedited signal can
be compared to the result of the algorithm.
