Liquid Compressor II
The Liquid Compressor II pumps up your sound and keeps your dynamics in check. The
Liquid Compressor II can add depth and sustain to your sound while helping you cut through
a mix. Easy-to-use modern interface with gain reduction light-meter. It is offered in Mono and
Stereo.
Sets the level detector : RMS offers the closest approximation to the way in which our
ears respond to sound, RMS provides a very natural-sounding dynamic control, where
the Peak type of compressor will more accurately track the peak levels of the individual
drum beats.
Soft/Hard Knee: Soft or Hard Knee : Default : On
There is both 'Soft Knee' and 'Hard Knee' compression styles. 'Soft knee' provides a smoother
start of compression, great for any voice or instrument and for subtle musical compression.
'Hard knee' compression works for an aggressive squash.
Brick Wall: On or Off : Default : Off
This switch engages the output Brick Wall limiter. The Brick Wall limiter is set to 0 dB.
Make-Up : -36 to +36 dB : Default : 0 dB
Sets the overall output level of the effect (dB). This control is useful to adjust the output level
again after its been reduced from applying compression to a signal.
SIDECHAIN FILTERS:
To help the compressor decide when to compress, you can use the two Filter controls.
The Filters only affect the signal driving the compressor, not the sound being
processed, and you can use the Listen control which allows the effect of the Filters to
be heard when setting up, so you'll hear a filtered version of the input in Listen mode.
Low Cut: 22 Hz to 22 KHz : Default : 22 Hz
Sets the Low Cut frequency. (HPF)
High Cut: 22 Hz to 22 KHz : Default : 22 Hz
Sets the High Cut frequency. (LPF)
Bypass - SideChain: Off or On : Default : On
Turns On/Off the side chain filters (Bypass)
Listen: Off or On : Default : Off
This switch engages the output Brick Wall limiter. The Brick Wall limiter is set to 0 dB.
Liquid Gate II
The Liquid Gate II tames the noise floor so that you hear only the audio you want to keep.
This fully-adjustable gate/expander allows control of Threshold, Attack Time, Hold Time,
Release Time and Range. To help the gate decide when to open, you can use the two
Filter controls (SideChain). Easy-to-use modern interface with gain reduction light-meter. It
is offered in Mono and Stereo.
This control determines how quickly the gate opens, the fastest Attack time ensures
that the gate does not clip the leading edge of extremely fast transients.
Hold Time: 0.0 to 2000 ms : Default : 0.0 ms
This control determines the amount of time the gate is held open after the signal falls
below the Threshold.
Sets the level envelope detector : RMS provides a very natural control of the gate,
where the Peak type will more accurately track the peak levels of the individual drum
beats.
SIDECHAIN FILTERS:
To help the gate decide when to open, you can use the two Filter controls. The Filters
only affect the signal driving the gate, not the sound being processed, and you can use
the Listen control which allows the effect of the Filters to be heard when setting up, so
you'll hear a filtered version of the input in Listen mode.
Low Cut: 22 Hz to 22 KHz : Default : 22 Hz
Sets the Low Cut frequency. (HPF)
High Cut: 22 Hz to 22 KHz : Default : 22 Hz
Sets the High Cut frequency. (LPF)
Bypass - SideChain: Off or On : Default : On
Turns On/Off the side chain filters (Bypass)
Listen: Off or On : Default : Off
When this switch is set to On, you'll hear the filtered input signal.
Liquid Mod II
Chorus and Flanger effects operate on a very similar basis, that's why they were both
implemented in the Liquid Mod II. The Liquid Mod II produces vintage tape-flanging, gentle
choruses, sharp phasing, phaser-emulation effects and a variety of dual-delaymodulation sounds quickly. It has the character of a vintage chorus-flanger unit using
modern features options.
Liquid Phase II
The Liquid Phase II emulates the sounds of classic analog phasers from the 70!s and 80!s.
The Liquid Phase II provides a wealth of vintage and modern phasing effects. The selectable
"Phaser Stage" control allows you to select any number of stages between 2 and 24
including all odd numbers. Using an odd number of stages sounds totally different than an
even number of stages, this cool feature allows the Liquid Phase II to create unique phasing
and modulation effects.
Liquid Verb II
The Liquid Verb II Digital Reverb is a great professional reverb for music and post-production
applications. From spacious concert halls to small rooms, the Liquid Verb II delivers
professional-quality reverb and ambience processing to the most demanding studio sessions.
Designed to be musical, the Liquid Verb II is easy to use with just a few controls and a simple
modern interface.
Liquid Delays II
The Liquid Delays II is a filtered dual-delay effect plug-in, featuring two delays, resonant
filters, tube saturation-overdrive, peak-limiter and LFO. The Liquid Delays II is capable of
clean-delays, dirty-delays, filtered-delays, and more. From basic synced delays to dirty,
grungy, distorded delayed filters, the Liquid Delays II can creates an unlimited number of
amazing effects.
