MAIN CONTROLS
1.
Input – This is a simple input gain slider which is
used to set the optimal volume of signal entering
the distortion algorithm.
2.
Output – This slider controls the output volume
of your signal.
3.
Auto – The Auto button links the input and
output gain sliders allowing for easy level
matching. Raise the volume of the input, and the
output will lower by an equal amount, and vice
versa.
4.
Detect – Detect functions as an audio analysis
tool to set the optimal level of signal entering
the distortion algorithm. To use, click Detect and
begin playback of your audio signal you wish to
process with BDE. For best results, playback at
the loudest portion of the audio signal you wish
to process. You will notice the Detect button
will pulse, signifying the plugin is analyzing the
volume of your signal. You will also notice the
Auto button engage during this process. After a
few seconds click the Detect button once again
and you will notice the input and output sliders
adjust positions to ensure you are processing your
distortion at the optimal level, without impacting
the apparent level of your signal. This is the first
6
step that should be done before using BDE.
5.
Distortion Type – This dropdown menu allows
you to select between different distortion types,
each offering a different sonic characteristic,
some more aggressive, and some more subtle.
6.
Drive – This knob is your distortion gain. It will
push the amount of signal hitting the distortion
threshold thereby increasing the amount of
distortion present in your audio signal. It is best
to use the earlier mentioned detect feature first
before processing distortion on your audio signal.
7.
Range – Range is an innovative feature in BDE,
and allows the user to process distortion while
maintaining the maximum dynamics of the audio
signal. The dynamics of all signal above the
Range dB value are maintained. The volume of
any portion of signal below the dB value would
raise in volume in conjunction with the value of
the Drive knob. What this means is, if you lower
the Range value to -96dB, in effect you can apply
distortion to something as quiet as a reverb tail,
while still maintaining the relative volume of
that signal. This is perfect for things like drum
loops which may want a distortion tone, without
augmenting the dynamics of the signal.
