Expert Sleepers Spectral Conquest v1.0.0 - Manual (Page 10)

Overview
Most of the plug-in GUI is devoted to the spectrum plot and the area that controls the fre-
quency band or ‘bin’ multipliers. Below this is a row of controls, broken down into sec-
tions. The ‘Process’ and ‘Mix’ sections control the basic audio processing. The ‘View’ sec-
tion controls the appearance and behaviour of the spectrum plot. The ‘Script’ section con-
trols the scripted functions. Above the spectrum plot is a row of buttons most of which
quickly set the bin levels to preset values.
Spectrum Plot
The upper half of the large graphical area in the middle of GUI shows the spectrum plot of
the incoming and outgoing audio. The solid rectangles show the incoming spectrum; the
small horizontal lines show the outgoing spectrum.
The lower half of this area shows the bin levels. It essentially consists of a very large num-
ber of vertical sliders, one per bin in the spectrum. You can use each slider individually, or
you can draw large numbers of levels at once simply by ‘painting’ with the mouse.
You can restrict the mouse to adjust one level only, regardless of horizontal movement, by
holding Option
1 (Mac OS X)/Control (Windows).
View
The View controls affect the
appearance and behaviour
of the spectrum plot.
X/Y Axis
These two drop-down
menus set whether the X
and Y axes of the spectrum
plot use Logarithmic or Linear scales.
Min/Max dB
When the Y axis is showing a logarithmic scale, these knobs set the range of values (in dB)
displayed.
Min/Max Lin
When the Y axis is showing a linear scale, these knobs set the range of values displayed.
1 The ‘Option’ (alt) key is the one between the Control (ctrl) key and the Command (cmd) key.
