Clean / Repair Menu
This menu works in a similar way to the Adjust / Effects menu - drag the slider to set the extent of
the adjustment.
These affect selected unpitched audio and pitched note timbre. You can view live adjustments to
pitched notes (including automatic changes to formants by pitch shifts and other pitch effects)
from within the Harmonic Editor – just ensure the
button at the top right is selected. To set live
repairs and clean-up in stone, use Audio > Render
Adjustments & Effects.
Below is a brief description of each option.
1.
Filter Background – Removes unpitched audio
and harmonic slices below a given dB level.
2.
Limit Foreground – Limits the dB level of
unpitched audio and harmonic slices.
3.
Tones & Hum – Removes unwanted sounds like tones and hums, up to a maximum
bandwidth.
4.
Purify – Evens out rough and random amplitude changes within unpitched audio and
harmonics, to create a smoother sound.
5.
Overtone Level– Decreases/increases the level of overtones within pitched sounds, by
adjusting harmonics.
6.
Fundamental Level – Decreases/increases the level of the fundamental (1
st
harmonic) within
pitched sounds. This can even be used to regenerate a fundamental that was filtered out
during a mixing/mastering process, adding more bass presence back to sounds like vocals.
7.
Filter Notes - Removes pitched notes below the selected dB level. This can be useful for
removing quieter unwanted notes before exporting to MIDI.
