In most cases, the Sensitivity LED indicates that your levels hit the processor in a way
that will give you the intended output result. However, it’s important to keep in mind that
optimal results may be achieved even when the Sensitivity LED does not display
“optimal” levels (yellow). Depending on your program material, “good” levels (green)
might be best-suited to your needs; in other cases, “very hot” levels (red) might provide
the most appropriate processing.
In many cases, changing other controls after adjusting Sensitivity may cause the
Sensitivity LED to turn red. When this occurs, re-adjustment of either the Sensitivity
control or the other control will be necessary. As always, trust your ears.
Type
Each plug-in includes a number of application Types which address a range of source
materials.
1.4 A Few Words from Eddie Kramer
"For the Effects Channel plug-in, I set out to recreate some of the basic elements that I
use whenever I’m painting a sonic picture. Over the years, these elements have evolved
to suit a variety of sources and styles, from whispering vocals to screaming guitars and
beyond.
 H-Slap is a shorter delay that emulates tape at 15 inches per second, with some EMT
plate reverb at a medium setting.
 Z-Slap is a longer delay (7 ½ inches per second) with a bit of feedback and a longer
setting on the EMT plate.
Between the two, you’ll easily find the ideal setting for almost anything you can throw at
it."
1.5 Components
WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which
we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives
you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material.
The Waves Eddie Kramer Effects Channel has two components:
• EKramer FX m>s – Mono in to Stereo out component
• EKramer FX stereo – Stereo in to Stereo out component
