Orange Clip

Product Introduction 产品介绍​

A Legendary Sound in Any DAW
ORANGE CLIP is inspired by the unique stock clipper
found in one of the most legendary digital audio workstations for modern music production.
The clipper itself is simple,
but it has a bold and unique sound that you have heard in many modern recordings.​

全宿通用的传奇之声
ORANGE CLIP 的灵感来自于现代音乐制作中最富传奇色彩的数字音频工作站之一。
该削波效果器本身很简单，
但它的声音大胆而独特，在许多现代录音作品中都有出现。

It inflates low frequencies, crunches highs, and smooths the mid-range
in a relaxed and pleasing way.
We re-engineered that legendary soft clipping sound and added a gang of features
to meet the needs of modern music producers & mixing engineers.​

它能蓬发低频、压碎高频、平滑中频，
并且是以一种十分轻松且舒适的方式进行。
它是对传说中的软削波效果的重新设计，并增加了一系列功能，
可满足现代音乐制作人和混音工程师的需求。

Clip Ceiling & ORANGE Processing
The ceiling setting determines the top of the waveshaper and ORANGE determines the bottom.
By adjusting the ceiling, you are moving the clip point down and away from 0.0dBFS.
lf the ceiling is setto -6dBFS and ORANGE is set to -10dB,
then waveshaping will start at -16dBFS.
The input signal below -16dBFS will be linear,
and the signal above-6dBFS will be approaching hard clipping.​

削波限值与 ORANGE 处理
上限设置决定波形的顶部，而 ORANGE 决定着波形的底部。
通过调整上限，能让削波点向下移动，远离 0.0 dBFS。
如果上限设置为 -6 dBFS，而 ORANGE 设置为 -10 dB，
那么波形将从 -16 dBFS 开始削波。
低于 -16 dBFS 的输入信号会保留线性，
而高于 -6 dBFS 的信号将逐渐接近硬削波。

Transfer Function Display
Before we explain Orange processing we need to understand how to read a transfer function display.
This image shows a linear relationship between input and output.
The X axis is the input source,the Y axis shows output destination,
And the dotted line shows the linear relationship between input and output.​

削波曲线显示
在解释 ORANGE 的处理之前，需要先搞清楚削波曲线。
该图示部分会显示输入和输出之间的线性关系。
X 轴为输入，Y 轴为输出，
虚线表示输入和输出之间的线性关系。

Linear Gain
This image shows an input signal of -5dBFS with an output signal of -5dBFS.
The arrow shows the signal going into the processor from from the bottom
and out of the processor to the left.
There is no change to the signal it is a linear process,-5dBFS in = -5dBFS out.​

线性增益
该图显示输入信号为 -5 dBFS，输出信号为 -5 dBFS。
箭头显示信号从底部进入处理器，
然后从左侧输出。
线性过程中信号没有处理，输入的是 -5dBFS 输出的也是 -5dBFS。

Non-Linear Gain
This image shows a non-linear gain change.
The output signal is reduced as the input signal increases.
An input signal of -5dBFS has an output of -9dBFS.
Changing the amplitude of a signal like this is by defnition distortion.
By changing the shape of the waveform, we are not only changing the peaks
but also adding harmonics and augmenting the tone of the signal.​

非线性增益
该图显示的是非线性增益变化。
输出信号随着输入信号的增加而减弱。
输入信号为 -5 dBFS 时，输出信号为 -9 dBFS。
这样改变信号的幅度，从定义上讲就是失真。
所以通过改变波形的形状，不仅可以改变峰值，
还增加了谐波，强化了信号的音色。

ORANGE CLIP's Transfer Function
When a traditional transfer function is used as a display
it is assumed that the wave shaping is symmetric,
meaning it is affecting the positive and negative side of the wave form in the same way.
Not all waveshapers are symmetric, but Orange Clip is.
Orange Clip's transfer function shows you how the input signal is wave shaped or clipped in real time
as the white dot bounces along the non-linear transfer curve.​

ORANGE CLIP 的削波曲线
一般来说，传统的削波曲线显示，
默认都是对称的波形。
也就是说，它对波形正负极的影响是相同的。
虽然并非所有的波形塑波器都是对称的，但 Orange Clip 的确就是这么回事儿。
它的削波曲线会实时显示输入信号是如何被塑造或削波的，
同时会有白点沿着非线性曲线反复运动。

Waveform Displays & Transfer Functions
When we look at a waveform in a DAW
we see both the positive and negative side of the waveform.
A traditional transfer function only shows one side of the waveform.
lf we were to show both sides of the waveform,
the waveshaper display would look like the orange line.
The dotted line represents the input and the orange line represents the wave shaped output.​

波形显示与削波曲线
当你在宿主软件中观察波形时，
一般都可以看到波形的正负极。
但一般的削波曲线只能显示波形的一边。
如果要显示波形的正负两侧，
塑波器的显示效果看起来就是橙色线条。
其中虚线代表输入，橙线代表波形输出。

该图显示了 Orange Clip 的削波曲线叠加效果，
利用正负极的波形显示来进一步强化视觉概念。

Clip Ceiling
The ceiling control floats over the input meter
and allows you to clip extremely low-level signals without changing the input trims.
lf a snare drum peaks at -24dBFS,
you can pull the clip ceiling down to -25dBFS and get 1dB of clipping.
The ceiling setting determines the top of the waveshaper
and ORANGE determines the bottom.​

削波限值
上限控制悬浮在输入电平表上，
可在不改变输入音量的情况下削波极低的电平信号。
例如军鼓的峰值为 -24 dBFS，
就可以把上限拉低到 -25 dBFS 来获得 1 dB 的削波。
然后，调整 ORANGE 设置，再做出你所需要的软、中、硬削波效果。

ORANGE at-4.4dB
The dB value on the ORANGE processor is the dB level below the clip ceiling
that wave shaping begins.
The default setting of -4.4dB starts to wave shape 4.4dB below the clip ceiling setting.
This medium knee curve works in many situations
and has a pleasing tone that smooths the mid range and expands the lows.
lf you want it to sound softer and deeper turn ORANGE counterclockwise.
lf you want it harder or firmer turn clockwise.​

-4.4 dB 的 ORANGE
ORANGE 的 dB 值是低于削波上限的电平，
并且是给塑波器启动用的。
其默认设置为 -4.4 dB，即在低于削波上限 4.4dB 时就开始削波。
这种中等的拐点曲线适用多种情况，
而且音色悦耳，能平滑中频区域并扩展低频。
如果希望音色更柔和、更深沉，那就逆时针调整 ORANGE 旋钮；
如果希望音色更硬或更坚实，那就顺时针旋转旋钮。

ORANGE at 0.0dB
If you set ORANGE to 0.0dB(clockwise) the transfer function is linear (a strait line)
up until the clip ceiling setting.
With this setting the processor is not waveshaping
until it is hard clipping into a brick wall at the clip ceiling setting.
This tends to sound brighter, more aggressive and sometimes crunchy.​

0.0 dB 的 ORANGE
如果将 ORANGE 设置为 0.0 dB（顺时针方向），则是线性的削波曲线（直线）。
该直线直到碰到上限设置为止。
此时，削波部分不会产生波形塑形效果，
除非直接碰到上限值产生砖墙硬削波的效果。
一般这会让音色更明亮、更有攻击性，有时甚至会让人感到震耳欲聋。

ORANGE at -51.8dB
If you set ORANGE to -51.8(counter-clockwise)
the input signal starts to wave shape 51.8dB below the ceiling setting.
This is a soft knee curve that smooths out and takes the bite out of the signal.
lf there is a click or pointy kick drum in the mix,
it will push it further into the track and make things sound more round.​

-51.8 dB 的 ORANGE
如果将 ORANGE 设置为 -51.8 dB（逆时针方向），
输入信号在低于上限的 51.8 dB 就会开始削波。
这是一条柔和的软曲线，可消除信号的咬合感。
如果混音中的底鼓出现劈裂感或尖锐的声音，
这样做就可以将让进一步融入音乐，让音色听起来更加圆润。
