Processing Delay Display
The Processing Delay Display shows the amount of time in seconds that
JVP will delay a trackÕs sound output. Delay is introduced by the Compres-
sor and the De-esser to enhance their level detection capabilities. Tracks can
be slipped to the left by the amount shown in the Processing Delay Display
to resynchronize their output with other non-processed tracks. 
Note: The delay value displayed does not...

CHAPTER 3Using JVP
This chapter contains the details of using JVPÕs controls and a short how-to
section on each of the tools. 
The De-esser
The de-esser Õs controls are accessed by pressing the Display Button under
the word ÒDe-esserÓ in JVPÕs display. The settings on the de-essers controls
are still active even if they are not currently displayed.

The Controls
Gain Reduction Meter
The Gain Reduction Meter displays the amount of compression of the sig-
nal. If the frequency and threshold controls are set properly, the meter will
display little gain reduction during vowel sounds and soft consonants, and
substantial gain reduction during sibilants.
Threshold Control/Level Meter
The threshold control includes a level meter which displays the output of
the de-esser Õs high pass Þlter. The control knob is adjusted by...

JVP UserÕs Manual35 The De-esser
Ratio Control
This control adjusts the compression ratio of the de-esser Õs compressor ele-
ment. The range of the control is from 1.0 to 1 to 99 to 1. The control is
adjusted by dragging the knob with the mouse.
Attack Time  Control
The attack time control adjusts the speed with which the compressor ele-
ment responds to peaks in the signal coming from the high pass Þlter. The
range of the control is from 0 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. The control
is adjusted by...

12. Adjust the Frequency control to maximize the difference between the peaks 
caused by the sibilants and the other sounds in the track.
Frequency settings around 13,000 Hz work best in most cases.
13. Adjust the Threshold control so that it is just above the general level of the 
non-sibilant sounds in the track.
Notice that the amount of gain reduction is maximized during sibilant 
sounds.
14. Adjust the compression ratio, attack and release times as desired.

hardware compressors with the added bonus of 24 bit audio quality plus a
Threshold Level Meter to take the guess work out of setting the gate and
compressor thresholds.
The Controls
Gain Reduction Meter
The Gain Reduction Meter displays the amount of compression of the sig-
nal. When the input signal is above the compression threshold or below the
gate threshold, the Gain Reduction Meter will display the amount of com-
pression being applied. The range of the meter...

Attack Time  Control
The attack time control adjusts the speed with which the compressor/gate
responds to peaks in the input signal. The range of the control is from 0 mil-
liseconds to 100 milliseconds. The control is adjusted by dragging the knob
with the mouse.
Application Note: While using the compressor and the de-esser simulta-
neously, make sure that the attack time of the compressor is long enough to
not interact with de-esser.
Release Time  Control
The release time...

Notice the signal level displayed in the Threshold Level Meter. Deter-
mine the average level and the peak level.
9. Adjust the Attack Time and Release Time to best track the changes in the input 
signal.
For most spoken material, attack times between 1 and 10 mSec work 
well. Release times around 50 - 100 mSec. work well for material 
recorded in a dry, quiet environment.
10. Adjust the Compressor Threshold control so that it is just above the average level 
of...

The Parametric EQ
JVPÕs parametric EQ uses powerful new algorithms optimized for the 56000
chip used in every Digidesign DSP card, giving a true 140 dB dynamic
range and minimal distortion.
The EQ has three Þlter sections. Two of the sections can be conÞgured as
different Þlter types giving you a wide range of possibilities for controlling
timbre and eliminating noise. 
When the Parametric EQ is not bypassed, all three Þlters are operating con-
tinuously. The Þlters are...
