THE EFFECT DEVICES

339

The MClass Maximizer

This is a loudness maximizer, a special type of limiter which can significantly raise the

perceived loudness of a mix without risk of hard clipping distortion. Features include a

4 ms look ahead function for “brick wall” limiting and a Soft Clip function.

The MClass Maximizer should be used as an insert effect, and is designed to be

placed at the end of the signal chain between the mixed final output and the Hard-

ware Interface.

Parameters

Scream 4 Sound Destruction

Unit

Scream 4 is a very versatile stereo in/out sound destruction device, capable of warp-

ing any sound literally beyond recognition, but also capable of producing more subtle

musical effects. Scream 4 features a wide range of algorithms for distortion and

sound mangling which can be combined with an EQ and a resonant “Body” section to

provide everything you need to add an edge to your sounds. This effect is most often

used as an insert effect.

About the Patch format

Unlike most of the other effect devices, Scream 4 features programmable effect pre-

sets. Included are a number of factory Patches which can be used as they are or pro-

vide you with a good starting point for further tweaking.

Patches use the Windows file extension “*.SM4”. Loading and saving Patches is

done in the same way as for instrument devices.

Parameter

Description

Input Gain The Input Gain sets the basic volume of a mix. If this is set

very high, you should use Look Ahead mode or the Soft Clip

function to eliminate the risk of hard clipping distortion.

Range: ±12 dB.

Limiter On/Off This turns the Limiter section on or off.

Look Ahead On/Off If activated, this will introduce a very short delay (4 ms) to the

signal. This delay is used to detect peaks in the signal before

they actually occur. If high peaks are detected the limiter is

“ready for them” and gain reduction is applied to transpar-

ently control the peaks.

Attack

(Fast/Mid/Slow)

This governs how quickly the Limiter will apply its effect. If set

to Fast with Look Ahead activated (and the Output Gain is

set to 0 dB) you will get “brick wall” limiting - no signal peaks

over 0 dB will pass.

Release

(Fast/Slow/Auto)

This determines how long it takes before the Limiter lets the

sound through unaffected. If Auto is activated, the Release

time will automatically adapt to the program material.

Output Gain This controls the output gain and should normally be set to 0

dB.

Soft Clip On/Off If this is activated, it also acts a 0 dB brick wall limiter but in

a slightly different way. The signal will be “soft-clipped”

which adds a pleasant, warm sounding distortion to the sig-

nal. It can be used simply to get this effect, or as a safeguard

against hard clipping distortion if Look Ahead with Mid or

Slow attack settings are used (or if Look Ahead is deacti-

vated).

Soft Clip Amount This controls the amount of soft-clipping distortion. Note that

if Soft Clip is on but the Amount is set to zero, the distortion

will be like hard clipping, and thus less pleasing to the ear.

Output level meter

(Peak/VU)

This is a more detailed meter than found on the mixer. You

can switch the meter characteristics between Peak (faster

response to peaks) and VU mode (average levels).
