4 Gentle Noise Reduction BackDrop
This preset provides a good choice for subtle reduction of random noise such as tape hiss,
thermal or quantization types.
Basic description of the BackDrop algorithm at preset 0.
Aggression Max Reduction Basilar Dispersion Transient Recov. Trim Start Trim End
Together with Max
Reduction, this
parameter controls how
much noise reduction is
applied.
Sets the max number of
dB BackDrop is allowed
to remove.
Amount of masking to
limit the artefacts of
noise reduction on low
level material. When set
to 0%, Transient
Recovery is disabled.
Limits the artefacts of
Basilar Disperson, which
can blur the transients.
Sets the starting point of
the noise print. Trim a
loop that contains only
noise, and remember to
press Calculate
whenever Trim Start or
End is pressed.
Sets the end point of the
noise print. Trim a loop
that contains only noise,
and remember to press
Calculate whenever Trim
Start or End is pressed.
5 Air-Conditioning Remove BackDrop
This MultiType preset gives you the ability to de-compose the noise in realtime, and apply
reduction specifically to tonal room components such as AC’s.
Basic description of the BackDrop algorithm at preset 0. Note that MS or channel unlinked
processing is also available in MultiType mode.
Buzz Aggress. Room Aggress. Hiss Aggress. Max Reduction Basilar Dispersion Transient Recov.
Amount of noise
reduction applied to
tonal components, e.g.
hum, air conditioners,
cooling fans, hard disks
or CRT fly-back
transformers.
Amount of noise
reduction applied to
room components, e.g.
air conditioning units,
cooling fans, low
frequency rumble due to
traffic noise, room
feeling etc.
Amount of noise
reduction applied to hiss
components, e.g. tape,
thermal or quantization
noise.
Sets the max number of
dB BackDrop is allowed
to remove from any
noise component.
Amount of masking to
limit the artefacts of
noise reduction on low
level material. When set
to 0%, Transient
Recovery is disabled.
Limits the artefacts of
Basilar Disperson, which
can blur the transients.
