    I highly recommend EasyEffects (pipewire) for those who wants to apply filters like de-esser, compressor, gate, noise reduction, etc. directly to your live microphone input. This is great for obtaining that radio voice for your live conference calls. Makes my Røde NT-USB Mini sound fantastic.

      @unfa00  Před 2 lety +1

      I think that's a really cool idea. I was looking for a good way to remove plosives for a long time, and I think maybe a variation on this algorithm could finally do that cleanly?

      @@unfa00 I use the Kenny Gioa (Reapermania) method of getting rid of plosives: basically, just slice and zoom into the plosive and reduce the volume of that tiny seqment. It becomes too short for the ear to register it & works a treat - problem solved!!

    Can you explain how to set the scope to show the difference between dry and processed signals?

    • @unfa00
      @unfa00  Před rokem

      I've used Pin Connections on the Track level to route the unprocessed signal to the left channel of the x42 Simple Scope Stereo, and then passed the processed one to the right channel (or reverse, it doesn't matter).
      In SiSco you can click Common Y offset button and that'll make the two waveforms overlap additively, so where they are on top of each other you see yellow, and either green or red where one is present but not the other.
      To route the dry signal I had to swithc pin connections fro Debess to manual, add an extra output, and route the input directyl to it, bypassing the plug-in. This way I had both dry and wet signals passing down the processing chain so I can connect them to the Simple Scope for visualisation.
      I hope that helps?

    Im just getting into airwindows. very interesting stuff. is that harrison mixbus or ardour? i love mixbus but its sorta buggy and a cpu hog. but its great for mixing and mastering & high sound quality

    • @unfa00
      @unfa00  Před 11 měsíci

      Hey! I use Ardour. Mixbus is built on Ardour with proprietary DSP processing added - I never tried it, as it's just not up my alley. Also - every competent DAW that uses 32-bit floating point audio processing will have perfect sound quality (unless something is really messed up) - there's no secret sauce needed to achieve that. This is how digital audio works - it's perfectly transparent by default. I guess Mixbus has that "sauce" added for emulating a hardware mixer, though using Airwindows Console plug-ins you can simulate analog summing in Ardour or any other DAW for free. It is open-source code as well :)
