FABRIK C STUDIO

The Limiter

Fabrik C Studio also holds a Limiter. The Limiter is used to prevent overloads occurring at extreme and occasional peaks in the source material - peaks that may not be caught and attenuated sufficiently by the Compressor. Where the Limiter can be used to limit the extremes, the Compressor can be used to apply a much more “musical” and gentle compression.

Threshold

Range: -12dB to 0dB

The Threshold sets the max amount allowed to pass through the Limiter.

We recommend a setting of -0.1dB as maximum.

De-Esser

A De-Esser is a compressor type used to reduce only specific sibilant frequencies. Typically the “ss ” sounds can be too dominant on a vocal track and the track would therefore often benefit from being processed by a De-Esser.

The De-Esser also comes in handy when working with background vocal tracks with many voices dubbing the “s”-sounds from the lead track.

The De-Esser works in both 3-band and Full-band modes.

Bypass

Use Bypass to activate or deactivate the De-Esser.

Amount

Range: 0 to 100%

While listening, move the slider from left to right set appropriate amount of de-essing. A De-Esser reduces certain high-end frequencies and you should not set the Amount parameter higher than necessary.
