them quickly. When the plug-in is opened, setting A is selected by default, as shown right. Pressing the A B button
will switch between setting A and setting B.
Automation
Every plug-in parameter can be automated in host applications which support automation. The method for recording and
editing automation varies from host to host. For specific instructions on using automation within the host, consult the host
application documentation.
INPUT AND OUTPUT SECTIONS
The input and output sections at either side of the plug-in window provide input and output gain control, along with displays
of the following information:
VOCALSTRIP MODULES
De-esser
Sibilance is a resonance often found in vocal recordings which can result in ‘S’ consonants becoming too
pronounced. The Vocalstrip De-esser can detect and remove sibilance.
Switch the De-esser on by clicking on the power button in its top left-hand corner. The blue indicator
between the controls ‘glows’ to show that it is working.
• Move the Amount knob to control how much sibilance is removed.
• Move the Thresh (threshold) control to set the detection level, so that the De-esser can distinguish between ‘S’ and ‘non-S’
sounds.
To listen only to the sibilance that is being removed, press the Aud button. This can be particularly helpful in ensuring that
the threshold is correctly set.
Peak Meter
Allows you to observe the exact level
at any point in time.
RMS Meter
The thinner bar to the right shows
the RMS (average) level over time.
Clip Light
Indicates that the signal is clipping. It clears
after 1 second, or click on it to clear manually.
Range Meter
The thin white bracket indicates
the signal’s recent dynamic range.
