or turn OFF an Effect.

• Amplify Effect - The Amplitude And Compression > Amplify effect boosts or attenuates

an audio signal.

• DeEsser Effect - The Amplitude and Compression > DeEsser effect removes sibilance, “ess” sounds heard in speech and singing that can distort high frequencies.

• DeHummer effect - The Noise Reduction/Restoration > DeHummer effect removes

narrow frequency bands and their harmonics.

• Dynamics - The Amplitude and Compression > Dynamics Effects consist of four sections. They are Auto Gate, Compressor, Expander, and Limiter.

• Speech Volume Leveler effect - The Amplitude and Compression > Speech Volume Leveler is a compression effect that optimizes dialogue, evening out levels and removing background noise.

• Hard Limiter effect - The Amplitude And Compression > Hard Limiter effect greatly

attenuates audio that rises above a specified threshold. Typically, limiting is applied with an input boost, a technique that increases overall volume while avoiding distortion.

• Reverb effect - The Reverb > Reverb effect simulates acoustic spaces with convolution-based processing. It can reproduce acoustic or ambient environments such as a coat closet, a tiled bathroom shower, a concert hall, or a grand amphitheater.
