Chapter 54: Flanger
Flanger is an AudioSuite plug-in that animates
and adds a swirling, moving quality to audio
material by combing a time-delayed copy of an
audio signal with itself.
The Flanger uses a through-zero flanging algo-
rithm that results in a tape-like flanging effect.
This technique delays the original dry signal by
256 samples, then modulates the delayed signal
back and forth in time in relation to the dry sig-
nal, passing through its zero point on the way.
Flanger Controls
The Flanger plug-in provides the following con-
trols:
Gain Adjusts the input volume of the flanger to
prevent clipping or increase the level of the pro-
cessed signal. This slider is set to a default of
+3 dB. If your source audio has been recorded
very close to peak level, this +3 dB default set-
ting could cause clipping. Use this control to re-
duce the input level.
Selecting the Sum Inputs button sums the dry
input signals (mono and stereo) before process-
ing them. The dry signal then appears in the
center of the stereo field and the wet, effected
signal will be output in stereo.
When the Sum Inputs button is selected, the
LFO waveform on the right channel is phase in-
verted to enhance the mono-stereo effect.
Mix Adjusts the balance between the effected
signal and the original signal and controls the
depth of the effect. Mix is adjustable from 0% to
100%.
High Pass Filter Controls the cutoff frequency of
the high pass filter. Use this to attenuate the fre-
quency content of the feedback signal and the
frequency response of the flanging. The higher
the setting, the more low frequencies are re-
moved from the feedback signal.
Flanger plug-in
The Flanger plug-in was formerly called
D-fx Flanger. It is fully compatible with all
settings and presets created for D-fx
Flanger.
