12.3 Sonnox DeClicker 327
ˆ Input Level Meter
The Input Meter is designed to give exactly 1dB per LED for the top 18dB of dynamic
range, and 2dB per LED thereafter. This gives a clear and intuitive impression of the
working headroom.
ˆ Input Gain Trim Touch Pad (dB)
This allows you to adjust the input signal level by up to ±12dB.
ˆ Sensitivity Fader and Touch Pad (%) (Pop; Click; Crackle)
This controls the sensitivity of the detection circuits. Fully sensitive might allow the
detection circuit to react...

12.4 Sonnox DeNoiser
Sonnox DeNoiser is one of three plug-ins that form the Sonnox Restoration Toolkit. The tools
are not just for restoring old material, but also for removing the clicks, pops, buzzes and
background noise that can sometimes accidentally occur in new recordings.
A note on Touch Pad controls
Several controls in these plug-ins are Touch Pads. These controls give a...

ˆ the default action is Circular mode, but if the Alt key is held, the action is Linear mode.
Additionally, for all controls (including faders and knobs, not just Touch Pads)
ˆ Control + Left-Click (Windows), Cmd + Click (Mac): Set to default
DeNoiser screen controls
ˆ Sonnox Menu Options Button
Clicking this button brings down a menu of options and preferences. It allows choice
of:
the input/output meter clip light hold duration (permanent, 2s, 5s), and
the splash screen to view...

ˆ Freeze Button
This button enables Freeze mode for the noise detection circuit. In this mode the noise
fingerprint is calculated once (when the Freeze button is pressed). This mode is useful
for material with a constant noise component, and would typically be sampled when
the signal is absent and only the noise component is present.
ˆ In Button
This button enables the noise removal processing. It allows glitch-less comparisons
with and without the noise reduction. It is important to...

4. Adjust the Attenuation to find the most pleasing audio; too much attenuation can impair
the audio, either by reducing brightness or by introducing low-level distortion.
Tip: You might be working with bandwidth-limited material, possibly as a result of samplerate
conversion or lossy compression (for example limited at around 10kHz). If you experience
distortion around the limit try reducing the HF Limit control. Adjust until it lies just to the
lower frequency side of the limit...

ˆ Tone On Button
This button enables an audible tone generator, which can be used to aid location of the
buzz fundamental. While the Tone button is on, a touch pad appears above the button
and becomes a Tone level control. It defaults to -18dB, and has a range of -6dB to
-96dB.
ˆ Sensitivity Knob and Touch Pad (%)
This controls the sensitivity of the buzz detection circuit. Fully sensitive might allow the
detection circuit to lock to inaudible and possibly undesirable...

ˆ Output Level Meter (dB)
The output meter is designed to give exactly 1dB per LED for the top 18dB of dynamic
range, and 2dB per LED thereafter. There is a peak-hold feature that holds the highest
peak, helping to give a better impression of the working dynamic range.
ˆ Output Gain Trim Touch Pad (dB)
This allows you to reduce the output level by up to 12dB. Dithering is applied after
output gain control, so it may be necessary to reduce this value by a small amount to
avoid...

12.6 Steinberg Autopan 335
12.6 Steinberg Autopan
This is a simple autopan effect. It can use different waveforms to modulate the left-right
stereo position (pan), using manual modulation speed settings.
The parameters are as follows:
Rate
Sets the auto-pan speed from 0.1 to 10, by rotating the knob by dragging, or using the
mouse wheel.
Width
This sets the depth of the Autopan effect, that is, how far out to the left/right speaker the
sound should move, from 0% to 100%.
Shape
Sets the modulation...

This is a single stage chorus effect. It works by doubling whatever is sent into it with a slightly
detuned version.
The parameters are as follows:
ˆ Rate
The sweep rate can be set freely with the Rate knob, without sync to tempo.
ˆ Width
Determines the extent of the chorus effect. Higher settings produce a more pronounced
effect.
ˆ Spatial
This sets the stereo width of the effect. Turn clockwise for a wider stereo effect.
ˆ Mix
Sets the level balance between the dry signal and the...
