Centers the signal via Feed | Cutoff sets the limit of frequencies that it affects.
They attenuate the input signal, giving space to the mix.
Makes it sound crunchier.
Makes the treble sound bright.
Applies a High-pass filter that removes bass frequencies. Switch to Low-pass to do the opposite.
They expand the signal, recreating a simple / smooth / full Dolby Atmos
Increases the dynamic range of bass, mids and treble.
Increases the dynamic range of the signal.
Creates a bedroom. Choose the Room size | Increase or decrease the Decay time | Choose between 0.00, 0.50 or 1.00 % Diffusion
They create a stereo separation effect.
Normalizes volume based on a Target | Reset history re-evaluates this operation (refresh) | Maximum history is arbitrary.
They prevent the signal from exceeding 0.00 dB and becoming distorted | Threshold can replace Autogain in exchange for messing up dynamics.
To achieve creative results, you can set the Pre delay to 20 ms or more, the Bass cut to 196.00, 233.08 or 277.18 Hz, the High frequency damping/Treble cut to 12543.85, 14917.24 or 17739.69 Hz and the Dry/Wet controls to -6.0, -3.0, 0.0, 3.0 or 6.0 dB
It's hard to find a perfect setup for every user, although it is possible to make some adjustments to customize its behavior:
-
Load analog-max, edm or hifi > Open the 1st Equalizer Band 1 options > Change the
Frequencyand/or reduce theGainand/or change theModeto BWC (BT)/(MT) as appropriate. -
Select Bass Enhancer > Blend the harmonics (3rd - harsh / 2nd - soft) and/or set the
Amountto -6.00, -3.00, 0.00, 3.00 or 6.00 dB and/or theFloorto 29.14, 58.27 or 116.54 Hz -
Select 1st/2nd Multiband Compressor > Edit Band 1 options (Bypass/Compression mode/Attack Threshold/Release Time/Ratio/Reactivity) and/or Band 2 Frequency (Start).
To achieve different styles, you can set the Attack Threshold to 0.00, -12.00, -24.00, -36.00, -48.00 or -60.00 dB, the Release Time to 0.00, 100.00, 200.00, 300.00, 400.00 or 500.00 ms, the Ratio to 1.20, 1.50, 2.00, 3.00 or 6.00 and the Reactivity to 10.0, 25.0, 50.0, 125.0 or 250.0 ms
It should not be noticeable unless the Limiter signal is oversaturated, but if that is the case, select the Smooth parameter and set a value between 0.00 and -48.00 dB (default: -5.00 dB) and/or reduce the Knee or the Input level.
Select Exciter > Blend the harmonics (3rd - harsh / 2nd - soft) and/or set the Amount to -6.00, -3.00, 0.00, 3.00 or 6.00 dB and/or the Scope to 2217.46, 4434.92 or 8869.84 Hz
Choose the one that best suits your needs. From a practical standpoint, the min version is stable and works in all possible scenarios, while the max version requires more processing and is experimental, but may sound more professional.
You can show the native plugins interface to see the applied settings in more detail. Go to Preferences > Experimental Features and enable Native window of effects
Some effects are disabled by default; be sure to enable and test them. If you like the result, save it by overwriting the original file or creating a new one.
Select Stereo Tools and enable this option to add analog distortion (clipping) to the signal. Increase the S/C Level to make it more noticeable, but DON'T overdo it.
This feature allows you to process the left and right channels independently, resulting in a wider mix. However, it can sometimes distort the stereo image, especially when manually splitting the signal (2nd/3rd/4th Equalizer). To disable it, select the Limiter and set it to 100.0 %, or to 50.0 % if you prefer it to operate partially.
-
Select Stereo Tools and set the
Side levelto 3.00 or 6.00 dB -
Replace Stereo Tools with Delay and add more than 20.00 ms (Time) to the right channel. Be careful not to add too much, or it will sound out of sync.
Since we DON'T support older versions, it's vital that you have the current stable branch for them to work. In any case, please refer to the Easy Effects changelog.
