— Ratio: Controls the attack time of the signal profile relative to the attack time of the noise profile. A faster ratio detects and preserves transients in speech more easily, but the resulting speech profile is less accurate.
— Frequency Smoothing: Smooths the resulting signal in the frequency domain to compensate for harmonic ringing in the signal after the noise has been extracted.
— Time Smoothing: A toggle button enables smoothing of the resulting signal in the time domain as well.
— Dry/Wet: A percentage control of the output mix of “dry” or original signal to “wet” or processed signal. 0 is completely dry, 100% is completely wet.
— Level: To let you compensate for level that may be lost due to the noise reduction operation you’re applying, this applies a pre-gain in, from -6dB to +18dB, just before the dry/processed mix.
Phase Meter
Phase cancellation is a phenomena where the waveforms of a stereo recording (for example a stereo recording of a music performance) go slightly out of sync with one another for whatever reason,
and begin to cancel one another out in unpredictable ways, resulting in the audio sounding strange. This results in poor quality audio and can cause problems when you’re trying to compress a mix to a distribution format such as AAF or MP3.
The Phase Meter plugin is a visual meter that lets you evaluate whether or not a signal is in phase and is meant to be applied to a bus so you may evaluate the phase of a mix and correct whatever
problems may be occurring. The position of a green dot within a horizontal meter indicates the phase of the signal. When there’s no signal or a signal on only one half of a stereo bus, the dot appears in the center (0). When the signal is out of phase, the dot appears all the way to the left (–). When the signal is in phase, the dot appears all the way to the right (+).
