TC Electronic RESTORATION SUITE User Manual - Spectral Display
SPECTRAL DISPLAY
Note: The settings of the display do not affect the processing of Denoise
FINGERPRINT
A static yellow line indicates the fingerprint. Signal levels below the fingerprint line
will be removed from your source material. By clicking on “Fingerprint” in the inter-
face, you can engage and disengage the metering of the current fingerprint used by
Denoise. This will not change the fingerprint: it is only a means to bypass metering.
ORIGINAL / PROCESSED SIGNAL
The signal spectrum of your original audio—or the source signal—is displayed as level
over frequency. By clicking on "Original” in the interface, you can engage and disen-
gage the metering of the original signal of Denoise. This will not bypass the original
signal itself: it is only a means to bypass metering.
When switching to "Processed”, you will actually see both the original and the
processed signal: The original signal is shown as single line, and the processing is
actually displayed as deduction from the current value of the original signal. If you see
a single line, this means that there is currently no processing going on. If the line gets
thicker at a certain frequency, this indicates processing at that frequency. To get a
feeling of how this display works, move the Reduction parameter up and down while
streaming audio – you will see that the line gets thicker if you move the Reduction
down (remove more), and gets thinner if you move reduction up (remove less).
LEFT / RIGHT
The left channel is displayed in green, the right channel in red. With the L/R knobs on
top of the display, you can switch the indication of the left or right channel on and
off.
AUTOMATIC MODE
AUTO
When the plug-in is loaded, it comes up in automatic mode and will immediately start
to denoise your material. By pressing the AUTO button, you can turn the automatic
mode on or off. If you switch it off, it will keep the current setting as fingerprint. If
you switch automatic mode on again, it will give you a warning that the current finger-
print setting will be altered.
The automatic mode will automatically detect the parts of the audio that are noisy,
and will set itself accordingly. The amount of reduction is set by the general parame-
ters of denoise (see: mode independent parameters).
