Crystal Resampler
The Crystal Resampler plug-in (only available in the Mas-
ter Section) is a professional sample rate converter pro-
viding exceptional transparency and preservation of the
frequency content:
Echo
The Echo plug-in (only available in the Master Section) is
a stereo echo effect with two separate delay lines. It has
the following parameters:
EQ-1
EQ-1 is available both as a VST and a WaveLab Studio
plug-in. It can be used as a clip or track effect in the Audio
Montage, or as a global effect in the Master Section.
This is a three-band equalizer with high and low shelving
filters and a full parametric mid-frequency band. You can
turn off each band separately by clicking the correspond-
ing button, making it easy to compare the signal with and
without EQ. The following parameters are available:
Ö WaveLab Studio also includes the “Q” equalizer plug-
in, which offers two full-parametric EQ bands and addi-
tional features.
As always, which equalizer to choose depends on your needs in the
given situation.
Leveler
This plug-in is available both as a VST and a WaveLab
Studio plug-in. It can be used as a clip or track effect in
the Audio Montage, or as a global effect in the Master
Section.
This “effect” simply reduces or boosts the signal level.
This is useful for matching levels between effects. You
may want to patch in the Leveler after an equalizer plug-in,
for example. The parameters consist of volume settings for
the left and right channels, and a Stereo Link setting
(when activated, the Volume Left parameters control the
level of both channels). Finally, a Mix to mono setting al-
lows you to mix an incoming stereo signal to mono (much
like the Mono button in the Master Section).
Parameter Description
Sample Rate
(6 - 192 kHz)
This defines the output sample rate while the input
sample rate is determined by the sample rate of the
active audio file or Audio Montage.
Quality (Preview (fast),
Standard, High)
This defines the quality of the algorithm which is
used. In Preview mode the CPU load is much lower
than in High mode, but as a trade off the sonic
quality of the resulting audio is also lower.
Parameter Description
Delay 1
(0.5~1000ms)
This sets the delay time of Delay 1, with respect to
the incoming signal. Please note that the minimum
value (0.5ms) creates an out-of-phase impression.
Feedback 1
(0~100%)
This sets the amount of delayed signal fed back
into the Delay 1 block, to create repetitions. The
value 100% means that the echo signal is repeated
indefinitely, while 0% means there is only one repe-
tition.
Link 1-2
(Off, Linked)
Select Off if you wish to use Delay 1 and Delay 2 as
two independent blocks. Select Linked if the output
of Delay 1 is to be connected to the Input of Delay
2.
Delay 2, Feedback 2 See Delay 1 (0.5~1000ms) and Feedback 1
(0~100%) above. These parameters are identical
to these but apply to the second Delay block.
Del. Balance
(0~100%)
This sets the stereo width of Delay 1 and Delay 2.
When set to 100%, Delay 1 is assigned to the left
channel, while Delay 2 is assigned to the right
channel. The value 0% means that both Delay
blocks are spread across the stereo field.
Vol Left, Vol Right
(-96dB~0dB)
Use these parameters to correct volume imbal-
ances brought about by the Delay effects. These
parameters only apply to the Echo effect, the dry
signal is not affected by these settings.
Parameter Description
High Gain Determines the boost or cut (in dB) of the high
shelving filter.
High Frequency Sets the frequency of the high shelving filter. Fre-
quencies above this value will gradually be in-
creased or reduced in level, according to the High
Gain setting.
Mid Gain Determines the boost or cut (in dB) of the mid band
EQ.
Mid Frequency Sets the center frequency of the mid band eq. Fre-
quencies around this value will be affected by the
Mid Gain.
Mid Q Use this parameter to set the width of the Mid
band, e.g. how wide a frequency range around the
Mid Frequency should be affected by the mid band
EQ. The higher this value, the “narrower” the mid
band.
Low Gain Determines the boost or cut (in dB) of the low
shelving filter.
Low Frequency Sets the frequency of the low shelving filter. Fre-
quencies below this value will gradually be in-
creased or reduced in level, according to the Low
Gain setting.
