High Pass Filter: Passes frequencies above its cutoff frequency and attenuates frequencies below its cutoff frequency. Preset shaping functions are provided, each of which produces a different type of distortion.Įqualization: Adjusts the volume levels of particular frequencies. The result of waveshaping is equivalent to applying non-linear amplification to the audio waveform. By distorting the waveform the frequency content is changed, which will often make the sound "crunchy" or "abrasive". to open the Plug-in Manager: Effects, Generators and Analyzers dialog.ĭistortion: Use the Distortion effect to make the audio sound distorted. To enable it, use Effect > Add / Remove Plug-ins. Studio Fade Out: Applies a more musical fade out to the selected audio, giving a more pleasing sounding result.Īdjustable Fade: enables you to control the shape of the fade (non-linear fading) to be applied by adjusting various parameters allows partial (that is not from or to zero) fades up or down.įor a discussion of what the different typesfade do, see Fadeīass Bass and Treble: Increases or decreases the lower frequencies and higher frequencies of your audio independently behaves just like the bass and treble controls on a stereo system.Ĭlassic Filters: Offers three different types of filter which together emulate the vast majority of analog filters, providing a useful graphical tool for analysis and measurement. For a more customizable logarithmic fade, use the Envelope Tool on the Tools Toolbar. For a more customizable logarithmic fade, use the Envelope Tool on the Tools Toolbar.įade Out: Applies a linear fade-out to the selected audio - the rapidity of the fade-out depends entirely on the length of the selection it is applied to. Place the track to be faded out above the track to be faded in then select the overlapping region in both tracks and apply the effect.įade In: Applies a linear fade-in to the selected audio - the rapidity of the fade-in depends entirely on the length of the selection it is applied to. SC4: This effect is a stereo compressor with a variable envelope follower forĬrossfade Clips: Use Crossfade Clips to apply a simple crossfade to a selected pair of clips in a single audio track.Ĭrossfade Tracks: Use Crossfade Tracks to make a smooth transition between two overlapping tracks one above the other. Normalize: Use the Normalize effect to set the maximum amplitude of a track, equalize the amplitudes of the left and right channels of a stereo track and optionally remove any DC offset from the track. Mastering engineers often use this type of dynamic range compression combined with make-up gain to increase the perceived loudness of an audio recording during the audio mastering process. Limiter: Limiter passes signals below a specified input level unaffected or gently reduced, while preventing the peaks of stronger signals from exceeding this threshold. Mal ppl ke-up gain can be applied to either method, making the result as loud as possible without clipping, but not changing the dynamic range further. The alternative "peaks" method makes the entire audio louder, but amplifies the louder parts less than the quieter parts. The default " RMS" method makes the louder parts softer, but leaves the quieter audio alone. Typically used to make a music track softer whenever speech in a commentary track is heard.Ĭompressor: Compresses the dynamic range by two alternative methods. Amplify: Increases or decreases the volume of the audio you have selected.Īuto Duck: Reduces (ducks) the volume of one or more tracks whenever the volume of a specified "control" track reaches a particular level.
