ACE Compressor

+ +

+ The job of this filter is to make an audio recording perceivably louder by + reducing the dynamic range, that is, the difference between the loudest and + the quietest parts. ACE compressor lowers the volume of loud sounds above a + user-defined threshold measured in dB, then the gain of all the sound gets + increased to make up for lost loudness. +

The plugin also provides an opt-out inline display that shows input signal, +threshold, and resulting gain reduction:

ACE Expander

+ +

+ Contrary to compressors, expanders increase the dynamic range either + by making quite sounds quieter (downward expanders) or by making loud + sounds louder (upward expanders). ACE Expander is a downward + expander. It reduces the level of a signal below a user-defined threshold + by user-defined ratio, then optionally increases the overall gain to make + up for lost loudness. +

ACE Delay

+ +

+ Delay effects repeat original signal after a user-defined interval. + In ACE Delay, the interval is calculated from the tempo and the + divisor — a musical time unit like a 1/4th note or a dotted 1/16th note. + When using a delay in music production, it's usually best to sync to + project's tempo, especially if there are tempo ramps in a song. +

ACE Reverb

+ +

A reverb effect emulates sound waves reflecting off the walls in a closed +space which could be a a small room or a cathedral. The effect is usually +applied to a "dry" audio recording, that is, one typically made in a +very small room with acoustic absorption treatment so that there are little-to-no +reflections. That way, a reverb effect makes the most sense as it gives you a +clean slate and more freedom to shape your sound.

+ +

The ACE Reverb effect is a very simple one, based on early research to +artificial reverberation by Manfred Schroeder and Ben Logan (see +here for technical details). There are just two controls:

+ + + +

ACE High/Low Pass Filter

+ +

+ High-pass and low-pass filters reduce the signal below and above a certain + frequency respectively. The ACE High/Low Pass filter combines the + two filters in one. +
