Master Section - 包括路由、极性、输入和输出修剪的控制。
Module Controls
Each of the 7 processing sections (referred to as Modules) has its own output trim control and can be individually reset, soloed, or bypassed.
The RESET button resets all of a module’s parameters to their default states (with the exception of RTA controls).
The SOLO button bypasses all processing outside of the module being soloed.
This allows individual modules to be auditioned exclusively without any other processing.
Note that soloing a module will maintain the gain structure set by the Output Trims of the other elements.
The IN button toggles the enablement of each module. If disabled, a module’s processing is bypassed and its effects will not be heard.
The vertical slider to the right of each module controls the module’s Output Gain Trim for adjusting the Gain staging between elements.
It has a range of -20dB to +20dB.
Note: Because they are processed in parallel, the Delay and Reverb modules do not have Output Gain Trims like all the other sections.
Instead, they have Level faders for blending the effects signals with the main signal path.
模块控制
每个处理模块(称为模块)都有自己的输出修剪控制,并可以单独重置、独奏或旁路。
RESET 按钮将所有模块的参数重置为默认状态(除了 RTA控制)。
SOLO 按钮旁路模块之外的所有处理。
这样可以单独试听每个模块,而不受其他处理的影响。
请注意,独奏模块将保持其他元素的输出修剪设置的增益结构。
IN 按钮切换每个模块的启用状态。如果禁用,则模块的处理将被旁路,并且不会听到其效果。
每个模块右侧的垂直滑块控制模块的输出增益修剪,用于调整元素之间的增益级别。
它的范围为 -20dB 至 +20dB。
注意:由于它们是并行处理的,延迟和混响模块没有像其他部分那样的输出增益修剪。
相反,它们具有级别滑块,用于将效果信号与主信号路径混合。
Vocal Character
The Vocal Character is a one-of-a-kind vocal EQ that “follows” the pitch of the notes sung in a recorded vocal track and shifts the EQ curve accordingly along the frequency spectrum.
This allows you to alter the actual character of vocals by adjusting the body and clarity of each note.
Important Note: The Vocal Character element tracks pitches on a chromatic scale, and it will not work on the spoken voice.
You should disable this element when using the VC on spoken voice.
The Vocal Character consists of an EQ graph with 2 band control sections below it, labelled Body and Clarity.
The Body section contains controls for the lower band (labelled “B” on the graph) and the Clarity section controls the high band (labelled “C” on the graph).
Both bands have adjustable Frequency, Gain, Shape, and Q parameters, as well as buttons for toggling their enablement individually.
The graph is used to control a band’s frequency and gain while the controls for enablement, shape and Q can be found in the control sections below the graph.
Vocal Character
Vocal Character 是一种独特的人声均衡器,它“跟随”录制的人声音轨中的音符音高,并相应地调整频谱上的均衡曲线。
这样可以通过调整每个音符的音质和清晰度来改变人声的实际特性。
重要提示:Vocal Character 元素在音阶上跟踪音高,无法用于朗读的声音。
在使用 Vocal Character 对朗读的声音进行处理时,应禁用此元素。
Vocal Character 由一个带有 2 个频段控制部分的均衡器图形组成,图形下方标有 Body 和 Clarity。
Body 部分包含下频段的控制(图上标有 “B”),Clarity 部分控制高频段(图上标有 “C”)。
两个频段都具有可调节的频率、增益、形状和 Q 参数,以及用于单独切换其启用状态的按钮。
图形用于控制频段的频率和增益,而控制部分中的启用、形状和 Q 的控制可以在图形下方找到。
De-Esser
This module contains a simple and intuitive implementation of Harrison’s renowned De-Esser algorithm.
It is primarily used to attenuate harsh frequencies caused by sibilance in speech and vocals.
The two circular markers on the graph display, labelled “S” and “H”, are the controls for the Ess and Hi bands (S = Ess, H = Hi).
These controls can be dragged horizontally or vertically to set the Bandwidth and Depth of their respective bands.
A band’s horizontal range or Bandwidth determines the range of frequencies subject to attenuation within that band.
The low cutoff Frequency for the Ess band has a range of 1 kHz to 8 kHz, while the Hi band control has a range of 2 kHz to 12 kHz for taming any additional frequencies above that.
The vertical Depth of a band sets the maximum Gain reduction in dB that can be applied to the frequencies in its Bandwidth.
A lower Depth means greater possible attenuation.
Both bands have a maximum Depth value of -12 dB and can go up to 0 dB, where no attenuation occurs.
Clicking and dragging in the open portion of the graph (rather than on a specific band control) allows you to control both bands simultaneously.
This is useful for adjusting the Frequency or Depth of the bands without altering the Bandwidth.
De-Esser
该模块包含 Harrison 著名的 De-Esser 算法的简单直观实现。
它主要用于削弱演讲和人声中的刺耳频率。
图形上显示的两个圆形标记,标有 “S” 和 “H”,分别是 Ess 和 Hi 频段的控制(S = Ess,H = Hi)。
这些控件可以水平或垂直拖动,以设置各自频段的带宽和深度。
频段的水平范围或带宽确定了在该频段内需要削弱的频率范围。
Ess频段的低截止频率范围为 1 kHz 至 8 kHz,而 Hi 频段控件的范围为 2 kHz 至 12 kHz,用于削弱超出此范围的其他频率。
频段的垂直深度设置了在其带宽内的频率上可以应用的最大增益削弱(以dB为单位)。
较低的深度意味着更大的可能削弱。
两个频段的最大深度值为 -12 dB,最高可达 0 dB,即不进行削弱。
在图形的开放部分点击并拖动(而不是在特定频段控件上点击和拖动)可同时控制两个频段。
这对于调整频段的频率或深度而不改变带宽非常有用。
Leveler
The Leveler is a unique compressor derived from the Harrison Mixbus channel strip.
It includes controls for Threshold and Attack while the module’s Output Trim can be used to add make-up gain if needed.
Input level and gain reduction meters are also provided to help visualize the operation of the Leveler.
The Leveler has a low ratio and a fast release.
The Input Meter displays the level of input signal coming into the Leveler.
The slider attached to the meter controls the compressor’s Threshold level.
Directly below the Input Meter is the Reduction Meter, which shows how much gain reduction is being applied to the signal.
The Attack knob sets the Attack time of the compressor, ranging from 4 ms to 100 ms.
This parameter can be controlled by adjusting the knob or by typing values directly into the label to the right of it.
You can use the Leveler module’s Output Trim slider on the right to apply make-up gain as needed.
Leveler
Leveler 是从 Harrison Mixbus 通道条衍生的独特压缩器。
它包括阈值和攻击的控制,模块的输出修剪可以用于添加增益补偿(如果需要)。
还提供了输入级别和增益减少仪表,以帮助可视化 Leveler 的操作。
Leveler 具有低比例和快速释放特性。
输入仪表显示进入 Leveler 的输入信号级别。
附在仪表上的滑块控制压缩器的阈值级别。
在输入仪表下方是减少仪表,显示应用于信号的增益减少量。
Attack 旋钮设置压缩器的攻击时间,范围为 4 毫秒至 100 毫秒。
可以通过调整旋钮或直接在其右侧的标签中键入值来控制此参数。
可以使用 Leveler 模块右侧的输出修剪滑块根据需要应用增益补偿。
32C Channel EQ
Modelled after the famed Harrison 32C Channel EQ, the Equalizer element offers 4 bands with variable frequency and gain along with 2 versatile filters.
32C 通道均衡器
这个均衡器模块是根据著名的 Harrison 32C 通道均衡器进行建模,提供了 4 个频段和 2 个多功能滤波器。
EQ Bands
The 4 EQ bands can be toggled in or out using the EQ IN button just above the LOW band controls.
Each of the 4 bands has variable gain and frequency parameters.
Each gain control has a range of -12dB to +12dB. The band frequency ranges are as follows:
LOW - 40Hz - 600Hz
LO MID - 200Hz - 3.1kHz
HI MID - 400Hz - 6kHz
HIGH - 900Hz - 13kHz
均衡器频段
可以使用位于低频段控制上方的 EQ IN 按钮将这 4 个均衡器频段切换为启用或禁用状态。
每个频段都具有可变的增益和频率参数。
每个增益控制的范围为 -12dB 至 +12dB。频段的频率范围如下:
低频 - 40Hz - 600Hz
低中频 - 200Hz - 3.1kHz
高中频 - 400Hz - 6kHz
高频 - 900Hz - 13kHz
EQ Filters
The High and Low Pass Filters can be toggled in and out using the Filters IN button in the top-left corner above the Filter controls.
Both filters have a 12dB/octave slope.
The High-Pass Filter has a frequency range of 20Hz - 3.15kHz and the Low-Pass Filter has a frequency range of 160Hz - 18kHz.
均衡器滤波器
可以使用位于过滤器控制上方左上角的 Filters IN 按钮将高通和低通滤波器切换为启用或禁用状态。
这两个滤波器具有 12dB/八度的斜率。
高通滤波器的频率范围为 20Hz - 3.15kHz,低通滤波器的频率范围为 160Hz - 18kHz。
Chorus
The Chorus module is based on the Harrison XT-MG Micro Glide plugin and can be a useful tool for adding width and depth to a vocal recording.
The Chorus effect adds 2 pitch-shifted voices: one above and one below the input signal.
Detune controls the amount in which the 2 voices are pitch-shifted up and down from the original signal (measured in cents).
Delay adjusts the delay offset from the original signal in milliseconds.
Mix sets the percentage of wet signal that gets blended with the dry signal.
合唱
合唱模块基于 Harrison XT-MG Micro Glide 插件,可用于为声音录音添加宽度和深度。
合唱效果会添加 2 个音高偏移的声音:一个在输入信号之上,一个在输入信号之下。
Detune 控制声音相对于原始信号的音高偏移量(以 cent 为单位)。
Delay 调整相对于原始信号的延迟偏移量(以毫秒为单位)。
Mix 设置混合到原始信号中的湿信号的百分比。
Delay
The Delay module is specifically designed for adding slapback delay to vocals.
Unlike the other modules, the Delay and Reverb effects are processed in parallel with the main signal path,
so they are set to always return at the end of the signal chain to be blended with the main signal path.
This routing is meant to emulate the traditional method of using effects sends/returns on an aux track in a DAW.
Because it’s in parallel, the Delay module does not have a standard Output Trim slider like the other modules. Instead,
it has a level control fader with a minimum value of -inf for setting the effect level that gets blended in with the main signal.
延迟
延迟模块专门设计用于给人声添加回声延迟效果。
与其他模块不同,延迟和混响效果与主信号路径并行处理,
因此它们被设置为始终返回到信号链的末尾,与主信号路径混合。
这种路由设计旨在模拟在 DAW 中使用效果发送/返回通道的传统方法。
由于是并行处理,延迟模块没有像其他模块那样具有标准的输出增益调节滑块。
相反,它具有一个级别控制滑块,最小值为 -inf,用于设置混合到主信号中的效果级别。
In addition to the Output Level, there are 4 controls for shaping the delay on vocals
Delay Time, Feedback, Low-Pass Frequency (LPF), and High-Pass Frequency (HPF).
Delay Time sets the amount in milliseconds that the wet signal is delayed from the original dry signal.
This control is capable of setting short delay times up to 250 ms.
Feedback sets the percentage of signal that gets fed back into the delay and can be used to set the amount of delay repetitions.
Note that setting the Feedback to 100% will cause the delay to enter an endless loop of repetitions that can only be stopped by bringing the Feedback down below 100%.
LPF and HPF set the cutoff frequencies for the low and high-pass filters which are applied to the delayed signal.
除了输出级别之外,还有四个控制参数用于塑造人声延迟效果
延迟时间、反馈、低通频率(LPF)和高通频率(HPF)。
延迟时间设置了湿信号相对于原始干信号的延迟时间,以毫秒为单位。
该控制可以设置短延迟时间,最长可达250毫秒。
反馈控制设置了信号中被反馈回延迟部分的百分比,可用于控制延迟重复的数量。
请注意,将反馈设置为 100% 将导致延迟陷入无限循环的重复中,只有将反馈降低到 100% 以下才能停止循环。
LPF 和 HPF 设置了应用于延迟信号的低通和高通滤波器的截止频率。
Reverb
The Reverb module is useful in altering the spatial characteristics of vocals.
Like the Delay, the Reverb is processed in parallel with the main signal path.
The position of the REVERB SEND routing item determines the point along the signal chain in which the signal is sent to the Reverb effect,
which always returns at the end of the signal chain to be blended with the main signal path.
Because it’s in parallel, the Reverb module does not have a standard Output Trim slider like the other modules. Instead,
it has a level control fader with a minimum value of -inf for setting the effect level that gets blended in with the main signal.
混响
混响模块用于改变人声的空间特性。
与延迟类似,混响在与主信号路径并行处理。
REVERB SEND 路由项的位置决定信号在信号链中发送到混响效果的位置,
它始终返回到信号链的末尾与主信号路径混合。
由于是并行处理,混响模块没有像其他模块那样具有标准的输出增益调节滑块。
相反,它具有一个级别控制滑块,最小值为 -inf,用于设置混合到主信号中的效果级别。
In addition to the Output Level, there are 4 controls for shaping the reverb on vocals
Room Size, Damping, Low-Pass Frequency (LPF), and High-Pass Frequency (HPF).
Room Size controls the size of the simulated space for reverberations and essentially dictates the decay time (larger Room Size = longer decay time).
Damping controls the damping properties of the surfaces being reflected off of, which affects the presence of high frequencies in the reverb tail.
More damping will decrease high-frequency reverberations to create a warmer reverb sound while less damping will increase high-frequency reverberations for a brighter sound.
LPF and HPF set the cutoff frequencies for the low and high-pass filters which are applied to the reverb signal.
除了输出级别之外,还有四个控制参数用于塑造人声混响效果
房间大小(Room Size)、阻尼(Damping)、低通频率(LPF)和高通频率(HPF)。
房间大小控制模拟空间的大小,实际上决定了衰减时间(更大的房间大小=更长的衰减时间)。
阻尼控制反射表面的阻尼特性,影响混响尾部中的高频存在。
更高的阻尼会减少高频混响,创造出温暖的混响声音,而较低的阻尼会增加高频混响,使声音更明亮。
LPF 和 HPF 设置了应用于混响信号的低通和高通滤波器的截止频率。
Master Controls (Input, Output & Routing)
The Input, Output, and Routing sections at the bottom of the plugin window contain the plugin’s master controls for routing the order of elements, adjusting input/output trim, and inverting polarity. The master controls are laid out in the order of their signal flow from left to right, which is as follows:
Master Input Trim
Polarity Switch
Element Routing
Master Output Trim
Input, Output & Polarity
The very first element in the signal chain is the Master Input Trim slider, which adjusts the gain trim of the input signal before it reaches any of the other elements.
Next in line is the Invert Polarity button, used to flip the polarity of the input signal.
Following the Polarity switch are the element routing items, which will be detailed further in the next section.
The very last element in the signal chain is the Master Output Trim, which adjusts the gain trim of the final output signal after it has been processed by everything.
主控制(输入、输出和路由)
插件窗口底部的输入、输出和路由部分包含了插件的主控制,用于调节元素的路由顺序、调整输入/输出增益和翻转极性。
主控制按照从左到右的信号流顺序排列,顺序如下:
主输入增益调节
极性切换
元素路由
主输出增益调节
输入、输出和极性
信号链中的第一个元素是主输入增益调节滑块,它调节输入信号在到达其他元素之前的增益。
接下来是反转极性按钮,用于翻转输入信号的极性。
在极性切换之后是元素路由项,下一节将对其进行详细介绍。
信号链中的最后一个元素是主输出增益调节,它调节经过所有处理后的最终输出信号的增益。
