The Empirical Labs DS Duo includes the Empirical Labs EL 500 Plus VPR-compliant, horizontal rack power supply loaded with two EL-DS DerrEssers. Not just for vocal processing, the high-frequency limit function of the DerrEsser makes it a high-frequency compressor, great for general smoothing of high frequencies in a very musical way. Have harsh-sounding cymbals or overly scratchy hard-panned guitars? Use the two DerrEssers in stereo (linkable via the EL500) to smooth out your drum overheads or smooth the guitar fizzand that's just for starters. Empirical Labs EL-DS DerrEsserThe DerrEsser from Empirical Labs is a multi-function dynamic filtering device, in an API 500 series module format. Perhaps the most flexible de-essing tool available, in its basic "DS" mode, the DerrEsser is an effective, level-insensitve de-esser that adjusts the high frequency gain on overly trebly or spiky vocals, or other source. By using a crossover technique, and dividing the audio up into a high frequency range and a low frequency range, the EL-DS DerrEsser can use its Voltage Controlled Amp to turn down comparatively high or harsh high frequencies in an extremely musical manner. However, unlike other de-essers, the ELDS is not limited to just de-essing, and allows for multi use of its circuitry. It also features a high-frequency limiter that can almost entirely remove unwanted fret and finger noise from dynamic acoustic guitar performances, as well as tame aggressive, diaphragm-shaking vocals, in a very musical way.Besides Bypass, there are essentially four modes of the DerrEsser:DS Mode (Bypass Button IN, all other buttons OUT). As a de-esser in the DS mode (HF Limit OFF), one can set the threshold to tame harsh S's (sibilants) that result from an overlybright singer or from EQing to make a vocal sound aggressive and clear. In this mode, the dynamic action is "level insensitive," as the detector circuitry compares the high-frequency content to the low-frequency content. Overall signal level doesn't matter at all. When there is enough HF compared to LF, the threshold is exceeded and the DerrEsser starts to turn down the frequencies above the crossover point set by the Frequency control on the front panel. Great care was taken to ensure this DS section meets the Empirical Labs reputation for originality and ease-of-use by employing the latest technology VCA, specially selected for glitch free, distortion free, and noise free performance. The time constants were carefully selected and the corner frequency is user adjustable with a high-performance active crossover.HF LIMIT(Bypass Button IN, HF LIM IN, all other buttons OUT). In this mode, the DerrEsser looks at the general level of the high frequencies only. Think of it as a high-frequency compressor. If there is enough high-frequency content to exceed the threshold, then gain reduction occurs. It's level sensitive, but responds much more to high frequencies. This mode can also act as a de-esser but is more of a general high-frequency smoothing device. The HF limiter is probably the first carefully tailored soft knee HF limiter in existence. Both the DS and HF LIM modes offer what is perhaps the highest performance of any similar device.HIGHPASS(Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP/LP OUT, HF LIM doesn't matter). By using the "LISTEN" Function, the user can employ the superb filter circuitry inside the DerrEsser to process their audio. With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP/LP switch OUT, the user will be hearing the high frequencies that are being controlled with the dynamic/compression circuits. The corner frequency is adjustable by the Frequency knob. Once the LISTEN switch is engaged, all bar graph LED's should light as indication.LOWPASS(Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP/LP IN, HF LIM doesn't matter). With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP/LP button IN, the user is now listening to the low frequencies, those not affected by the VCA and dynamic/compression circuits. This is a 12dB-per-octave filter whose c

... Read more
Drumagog 5 is a software plug-in that replaces acoustic drum tracks with your choice of other samples. But Drumagog also offers the secret weapons top mix engineers use to give hit records polish and power, including reverb, a built-in synth, exclusive Morph"Engine, and VST plug-in hosting, which lets you use sounds from any VST virtual instrument. It is this exclusive combination of replacement and enhancement tools that has made Drumagog the industry standard for more than a decade.Drumagog Pro 5 includes the following features:- Advanced Triggering Mode- Multi-Sample support- Included 6 GB Sample Library- Visual Triggering- Live Triggering Mode- Favorites List- Pitch Control- Synthesizer- MIDI In/Out- Stealth Mode- Room Samples- Auto Align 2.0- Bleed ReductionNot included in Drumagog Pro 5* :- Hi-Hat Tracking- Convolution Reverb- Morph"Engine- Plug-in Hosting*All features above are included in Drumagog Platinum 5 (see #H72805)Drumagog 5 features overview:Advanced triggering engine catches all, even hi-hat articulationsDrumagog's already powerful triggering engine has been improved to precisely track the most demanding drum tracks. Complicated rolls and flams are no match for Drumagog 5's new triggering engine, which can even calculate and distinguish between right and left hand hits. Whats more, Drumagog 5 is the only replacer that can actually track hi-hats open, half-open, and closed articulations (Platinum version only). And for helping isolate tracks from unwanted drum bleed, Drumagog 5 offers two different options. First, Automatic Bleed Reduction will prevent bleed from causing unwanted false triggers. Second, Drumagog is the only product that offers a full-featured trigger filter section, giving you high-pass, lowpass, band, and band-reject filters, each with adjustable frequency, level, and Q.Drumagog 5 easily lets you dial in detection by simply raising or lowering the sensitivity threshold (as the waveform travels across the screen in real time) to include hits and exclude leakage. Fine-tune the Transient Detail slider, then slide the Resolution control to eliminate double-triggering if needed.Simply raise or lower the sensitivity threshold to include the hits you want replaced. Triggered hits are clearly indicated by a white dot. Refine by adjusting the Transient Detail slider and Resolution bar.Full-Wave alignmentWhen a drum hit and its replacement sample are aligned using the leading or peak transient, as in other replacers, phase issues within the body of the waveforms can cause comb filtering or other artifacts. To avoid this, only Drumagog 5 uses Full-Wave Alignment, a feature of its exclusive Auto-Align 2.0 algorithm. Developed by WaveMachine Labs in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute (one of the worlds leading audio research centers and developers of the MP3, ACC, and MPEG formats) this smart algorithm phase-aligns for overall sound rather than simply aligning transients. The result is phase coherence across all originally recorded drum hits and all samples, thereby retaining the original fidelity of both. When traditional transient alignment is needed, it is available by simply switching off the Auto-Align 2.0 button.Unlike technologies which force alignment to the nearest leading or peak transient, the Full-Wave Alignment algorithm refines alignment over the entire waveform.Triggering, dynamic tracking, stealth mode and auto-duckingReplacement is further refined with Drumagogs deep control of samples and triggering. Complete information on every sample is displayed (down to whether it is a left or right-hand hit). You can solo, mute, play, delete, and reorganize samples; change and automate pitch, level, articulation, and other parameters for each level; change the triggering amplitude for each or all the samples. Using Dynamic Tracking, you can force samples to be all soft or all loudor anywhere in between. Stealth Mode lets the original audio pass through until an adjustable trigger threshold
