RNC compressor as deesser
Hello,
I was reading the FMR audio site on using the RNC as a deesser. I found the explanations informative but incomplete. Could someone verify this: 1) using the eq in the insert does not make it a multiband compressor. the eq only tells *when* to compress ("when you hear a high frequency sound, reduce the entire signal level"), rather than *what* to compress ("compress only the highs, leave the rest of the signal alone"). since esses and consonants are on the front part of a sound, this is fine. it will simply clamp the whole "ess" sound, and then release when the voice goes back to singing vowels. so even though it is not band-splitting, it's still doing what you want reasonably well. 2) the eq has no effect on the actual frequency spectrum of the audio. the audio will sound the same, the only difference being when the compressor decides to kick in or not. therefore making significant adjustments to the graphic eq only changes the corresponding level-reduction decision making on the RNC. the eq can only help determine when the compressor decides to kick in or not. it cannot sculpt the frequency spectrum of the audio. 3) the graphic eq being patched in is not in the actual audio path. it is merely sending instructions to the compressor. therefore, you can use a cheap graphic eq for this purpose and it won't degrade the sound. 4) if your two primary concerns are deessing and avoiding unexpected low frequency bumps and tumbles on stage, you can have the deesser pull double duty by boosting the 80hz and below frequency range on the graphic, boosting the eq in the silibant range, and cutting the eq everywhere else. |
