Input Section
The relectro has a dedicated input section, as preprocessing audio before it
gets into the relectro’s main processing is vital for achieving satisfying
results.
First you have a FILTER slider which is good for
reducing some of the higher frequencies of the input
audio material. As relectro rather adds harmonics and
distortion, too much high harmonics in the input audio
can be problematic or lead to undesired results. So
with the FILTER basically a low-pass filter is applied to
reduce harmonics in the input audio.
The LEAK control next to it lets you pass the removed
harmonics directly to the output, so they are not lost but
added to the processed audio of relectro. However, it
much depends on the audio material if no, some or full
leaking is sounding best.
STEREO lets you adjust the Stereo Width of the audio
being processed by relectro’s main processing. Turned
fully clockwise it keeps the stereo widths as it is in the
audio being fed into relectro while turned fully counter
clockwise the signal is mixed down to mono.
Note: If the output of relectro sounds too wild,
sometimes reducing stereo width will do the job. Also,
when applying the Delay and/or the Chorus effect it
might be appropriate to reduce stereo width
beforehand.
With GAIN you can simply adjust the input audio material so that its a bit
below 0 dB but not higher, the peak meter below the GAIN control shall
help you (its −12, −6, −3 and 0 dB), so let the loudest parts of the audio just
light the green parts of the peak meter.
