The SAWStudio Levelizer Plug-In module is a
professional quality dynamics processing and
mastering tool that offers enhanced Gate, Compressor
and Peak Limiter/Normalizer functions to the
SAWStudio user. This module also offers accurate Gain
Reduction Metering of all combined functions, a
Remove Silence function, and the ability to scan and
display the highest 50 peaks within any range of
MultiTrack audio!
Each setting can be adjusted with an incredibly
powerful new interface control design that allows
value scrolling, stepping and instant selection from
a popup display of every possible value.
The Gate has adjustments for the Attack and Release
times, the Floor level that the gate closes to, and
the Threshold level. The Threshold setting can also
be visibly displayed against any waveform data in the
SoundFile or MultiTrack View. The Gate Reverse switch
causes the gate to operate in reverse. When the
signal is greater than the threshold, the gate closes
down to the floor setting and when the signal falls
below the threshold, the gate opens back up to full.
This can be used to create a simple and powerful
ducking processor by assigning the key to another
track which will then control when this track lowers
its level.
The Compressor has adjustments for the Attack and
Release times, the Ratio of compression, and the
Threshold level. The Threshold setting can also be
visibly displayed against any waveform data in the
SoundFile or MultiTrack View.
Both the Gate and Compressor can be keyed from their
own track's data or from a mix of one or more virtual
buffers or, with the new SAWStudio API power, direct
from any MultiTrack track.
The Key buffer can also be filtered with the use of
powerful Hi-Cut and Lo-Cut EQ functions that allow
the Levelizer to be easily used as a De-Esser or
other special purpose dynamics processor. Both EQ
filters can cover the entire frequency range and can
even be set to overlap in cutofffrequencies,
allowing the user complete control over frequency
bandwidth.
The Key Listen switch allows you to listen to the
actual Key data instead of the main audio data
stream, and the new API now allows this switch to
automatically control the console solos so you hear
only what you need to hear. This makes it easy to
adjust the EQ and hear exactly what is triggering the
Gate and Compressor functions.
The famous SAW Peak Limit / Normalize algorithm
functions LIVE in the SAWStudio environment, without
the need for a data pre-scan. An incredible time
saver for an incredibly powerful mastering tool. Both
settings can also be visibly displayed against any
waveform data in the SoundFile or MultiTrack View.
The Gain ReductionMeter offers anincredibly
accurate means of displaying just how much adjusting
the module is doing. Its accurate tracking of levels,
attack and release times, and its timing of the audio
transients is unmatched in any software based Windows
plug-in and rivals the reaction time of hardware
displays.
The Remove Silence function can automatically split
and remove region track data based on the Gate
settings. For this function, the Attack time is used
as a negativepre-threshold split point.This
function can also be used in a Split / Mark mode
whereby all regions are split and marked for viewing
before a simple keystroke finishes the job.
The Find Peaks function scans a range of audio data
and displays a list of the highest 50 peak values
within that range. The values are displayed as HEX
data values, percent of clipping values, and decibel
values. The actual sample position where the peak
occurred is also displayed. Clicking on any of the
listed items, automatically jumps the MultiTrack
cursor to the exact sample position, allowing instant
viewing and playback.
The Levelizer module represents one of the most
precision dynamics processing and mastering tools
available anywhere, and can easily replace many of
the high priced hardware based units currently on the
market.Havefunmaximizing,finalizingand
