hey charles hoffman here from black
2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:03,280
ghost audio i've teamed up with sonic
3
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,040
scoop to bring you a first look at solid
4
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,759
state logic's ds plugin which ssl was
5
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:09,760
kind enough to let me demo
6
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,840
ds is intended for precise sibilance
7
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,320
reduction and high frequency control if
8
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,240
you record vocals with a cheap condenser
9
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:17,680
mic or your vocalist happens to have a
10
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,680
really wispy voice high frequency
11
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,039
resonance can find its way into
12
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:23,199
recordings when your vocalist pronounces
13
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:25,599
words containing the letters s and t
14
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:28,000
this resonance is most likely to occur
15
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,760
to fix this you need to target those
16
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,279
harsh high-end frequencies with a
17
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:33,440
de-esser and reduce their level
18
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,760
ssl's ds plug-in is unique because of
19
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,760
the amount of control it provides you
20
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760
can apply mid-side processing use
21
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,000
automatic over-sampling and adjust
22
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,440
look-ahead options
23
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,760
unlike classic de-essers ds uses a
24
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,360
relative threshold that ensures
25
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,520
de-essing occurs no matter how quiet or
26
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,520
loud your signal is
27
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,120
i've got some harsh vocals here and i'm
28
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,480
going to walk you through the process of
29
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,720
cleaning them up using ds

shitty acting crazy never call me back
33
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,320
then you turn around and pay me every
34
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:17,840
shade of black dropping my games let me
35
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,030
baby like a sneaky tack
36
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,720
being shitty acting crazy never call me

[Music]
40
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,280
to start i want to hone in on the harsh
41
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,880
frequency content that's giving me a
42
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,720
problem and i can do this using the
43
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,479
filter section
44
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:40,240
the range that i've selected using this
45
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,240
high pass and low pass filter is what
46
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,320
will trigger the de-esser this means
47
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,000
that frequency content outside that
48
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640
range will not cause ds to engage and
49
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,360
apply processing the filters used in ds
50
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,520
are third order butterworth filters that
51
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,040
are quite sharp but allow for
52
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,439
transparent de-essing you can audition
53
00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:58,960
the frequency range you've selected by
54
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200
clicking on the filters text doing this
55
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,960
makes it much easier to identify the
56
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,520
frequency range that's giving you issues
57
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520
i heard you were out with your friends
58
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,400

[Music]
60
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,560
the compressor section has two primary
61
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,959
controls there's a threshold knob and an
62
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:32,080
amount knob ds uses a relative threshold
63
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,599
which is what sets it apart from other
64
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,160
de-essers when using other de-essers you
65
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720
set an absolute threshold level so for
66
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,160
example you might set your threshold
67
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,720
level to negative 10 decibels and harsh
68
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,560
frequency content that jumps above that
69
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,440
level gets compressed the problem with
70
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,519
that is inconsistent processing gets
71
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:51,519
applied to the quiet sections and loud
72
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:53,519
sections of your recordings you'll
73
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:55,360
either end up over processing loud
74
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,519
sections in an attempt to ds quiet
75
00:02:57,519 --> 00:02:59,519
sections or if you bring up the
76
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:01,200
threshold level to accommodate the loud
77
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,440
sections you'll fail to tame harshness
78
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120
during quiet sections
79
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
when using ssl's ds you set the
80
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,519
threshold level relative to the loudness
81
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:11,280
of the signal you're processing
82
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,040
regardless of how quiet or loud the
83
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,680
signal is de-essing will occur this
84
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,959
means that once you've dialed in your
85
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:18,720
de-esser settings it doesn't matter if
86
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
you increase or decrease the gain of the
87
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
signal prior to ds the de-esser will
88
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,120
accommodate the change in input level
89
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,680
saving you time
90
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,360
as you adjust the threshold knob you'll
91
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,799
notice that parts of the compression
92
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:32,480
history graph become highlighted in
93
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,400
yellow bright yellow indicates six
94
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560
decibels of gain reduction or more while
95
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560
a dim yellow indicates less than six
96
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,319
decibels of compression
97
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:41,920
sections that are gray are free of
98
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,319
compression to adjust the intensity of
99
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,159
the de-essing effect play around with
100
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,080
the amount knob it controls how
101
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,760
aggressively the signal that breaches
102
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000
the threshold level gets compressed
103
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,760
target sibilance with the threshold knob
104
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680
as best you can and then turn up the
105
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840
amount knob until sibilance is no longer
106
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,720
an issue if processing seems too intense
107
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,239
and your vocalist starts to sound like
108
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:04,319
they have a lisp just dial back the
109
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,239
amount knob
110
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:08,239

talking about how you got me for life
112
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:12,480
don't gotta put no effort in because you
113
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,310
know that i'm
114
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,239
i'm not want to stick around when i
115
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:20,239
begin to question

shade of black
120
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:28,880
clicking the compressor label above the
121
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880
compression graph will solo the parts of
122
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
the signal affected by compression this
123
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,400
is helpful when you want to hear the
124
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,000
effect the compression controls are
125
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,479

with this blend control moved all the
129
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,479
way over to split attenuation is only
130
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:04,560
applied to the frequency band defined in
131
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,400
the filter section with the blend
132
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,919
control moved all the way over to
133
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:10,639
broadband attenuation is applied equally
134
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,479
across all frequencies regardless of
135
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,479
what's going on in the filters section
136
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:16,639
at 50 you'll hear an equal blend of the
137
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:18,960
two modes but you can select any value
138
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,680
along this range to dial this in listen
139
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,919
to one extreme and then the other pick
140
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:25,680
the one you prefer and then dial back
141
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,840
the slider to taste
142
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,759
i heard you out with your friends

talking about how you got me for life
144
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,080
don't gotta put no effort in because you
145
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,840
know that i'm alright or die the thing
146
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,950
that you'll be missing
147
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,960
i'm not want to stick around when i
148
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,469
begin to question
149
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:50,479
i'm not want to stick around when i
150
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:53,520
begin a question
151
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,360
one thing to keep in mind is that the
152
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,120
maximum gain reduction applied in
153
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,280
broadband mode is less intense than
154
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:01,520
split mode since broadband mode affects
155
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,600
the entire frequency range you're less
156
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,280
likely to experience audible pumping
157
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,800
effects this way
158
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,720
heavy de-essing can sometimes dull your
159
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,560
signal so this brightness knob lets you
160
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560
counteract that as you turn up the
161
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,400
brightness knob transients above the
162
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,639
high pass cutoff frequency are limited
163
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:18,479
and boosted in level pretty
164
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:20,080
straightforward just use your ears to
165
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,240
dial in the effect
166
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,240
i'm not want to stick around when i
167
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,160
begin to question
168
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,400
what it is that you're all about being
169
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,080
shady acting crazy never call me back
170
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,440
then you turn around and pay me every
171
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,960
shade of black dropping my games on my
172
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,950
baby like a sneak attack
173
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,400
the look-ahead knob will introduce
174
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880
latency to the plug-in but it gives the
175
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,800
plug-in more time to react to sibilant
176
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,039
events before they occur if it sounds
177
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:46,400
like a little bit of harshness is
178
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,240
slipping through ds and you fine tune
179
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,080
the other settings just turn up the look
180
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,840
ahead time and that should solve the
181
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,880
problem
182
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,360
i'm not gonna stick around when i begin
183
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,800
to question
184
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,029
what it is that you're all about
185
00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:05,039
i'm not want to stick around when i
186
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:07,039
begin to question

00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:10,160
what it is that you're all about
188
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,599
there's the option to select between
189
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:13,840
stereo mid and side mode if you're
190
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080
processing a mono vocal side mode is
191
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,000
going to have no effect on the sound but
192
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,919
if you're processing a drum buss and
193
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:21,599
there are harsh hi-hats panned out to
194
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:23,759
the sides that might be a situation in
195
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:25,520
which you want to engage side mode
196
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000
leaving mid content unaffected and yes
197
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
you can absolutely ds more than just
198
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960
vocals electric guitars symbols synths
199
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,639
and string instruments can all benefit
200
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:37,680
from de-essing when necessary
201
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440
turning on over sampling reduces
202
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,759
aliasing introduced by compression and
203
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:44,240
improves playback quality engaging over
204
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160
sampling isn't always going to make your
205
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,479
audio sound subjectively better in my
206
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:50,080
experience i found that sometimes it
207
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,319
does and sometimes it doesn't it depends
208
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,400
on the material you're working with it's
209
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,919
great that the options there but toggle
210
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:57,680
this feature on and off to decide if
211
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,039
it's helping
212
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:01,440
i'm not gonna stick around when i begin
213
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,960
to question
214
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400
what it is that you're all about
215
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,800
i'm not wanna stick around when i begin
216
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,319
to question
217
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:12,879
what it is that you're all about
218
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:14,639
there's a handy auto listen feature that
219
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,240
makes dialing and settings a little
220
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,039
easier while touching parameters with
221
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:21,199
auto listen enabled the filter section
222
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:22,720
will automatically be auditioned when
223
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,400
adjusting the high pass and low pass
224
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:40,790
cutoff frequencies
225
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,399
on top of that the compressor section
226
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,000
will automatically be auditioned when
227
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,680
adjusting the threshold and a mount
228
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,800
knobs
229
00:08:46,800 --> 00:09:01,190
i'm not gonna stick around
230
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,800
depending on the type of vocals you're
231
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040
processing you can choose between tenor
232
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360
alto and soprano presets choosing an
233
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,959
appropriate starting point can reduce
234
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:10,480
the amount of manual adjustments that
235
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,000
you need to make and there are also
236
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,080
presets designed for instruments for
237
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,320
example you can use ssl's ds to tame
238
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,839
harsh synths
239
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:19,519
you can save your own presets which is
240
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:20,399
helpful
241
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,160
maybe you do freelance mixing work and
242
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,839
the vocals that a particular artist
243
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:26,000
sends you are always sibilant well
244
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,240
create a custom ds preset and save it
245
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,320
for the next time they send you vocals
246
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,240
another useful feature is the ability to
247
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720
a b2 presets maybe you can't decide
248
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,440
between a small or large amount value no
249
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,839
problem quickly toggle between presets
250
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:43,440
and pick the option that sounds best
251
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,959
if you can't quite remember what all of
252
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:47,200
ds's controls do there's a built-in help
253
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,640
feature that you can toggle on by
