MaxVol
Increases the sound to the maximum volume possible without distortion occurring.
During the first process step, the recording is checked to see whether there are sufficient
reserves left for changes to be made (the status bar does not increase during this proc-
ess). The signal is then amplified during a second process step.
There are no settings options
NoiseGate
Fade out quiet parts of the recording. This can, for instance, be used to fade out the
volume of the background noise that can be heard in the pauses between the spoken
parts of speech recordings.
Attack: How quickly the fade-in and fade-out should occur
Threshold: The volume level below which you want the sound to be faded out
Normalize
Adjusts the sounds to a particular absolute level. The two processing steps already de-
scribed for MaxVol also apply here.
Level: Target volume level
Phaser
A modulated comb filter that adds lively variations to a sound. As time passes, the sound
distorts and becomes clearer again. This kind of effect has been used, for instance, to
modulate the voices in science fiction films.
Intensity: How strong an influence the effect will have (100% means maximum, 0%
means no effect)
Depth: Controls the intensity of the effect
Speed: Controls the rate of modulation
Phono Convert
Corrects record-player recordings that have been recorded at a different speed.
Type: Playback speed / recording speed
Radio
Simulates the sound of old radios. The effect focuses on the limited range of pitch
of these kinds of devices and simulates various interference effects.
Preset: Type of radio
Retro
Adds distortion effects to a recording so that it sounds antique.
Noise Level: Volume of the blanket of sound
