V6 User Manual 1.00.book - Studio General

In the specific case of a DSD session the VU meter offers three filtering options which allow you to make sure thatyour DSD signal is compatible to the AES recommendations concerning the high frequency dither noise content.These radio buttons let you choose one of three possible filters which will be applied to the DSD signal before it ismeasured by the level meter.The 20k option applies a 20 kHz low pass filter to the signal, thus only the audible audio content is measured.The 20k-50k option applies a band pass filter with a frequency range of 20 kHz to 40 kHz to the signal. Accordingto the AES recommendation the signal level in this frequency range should not exceed -28 dB.The 40k-100k option applies a band pass filter with a frequency range of 50 kHz to 100kHz to the signal. Accordingto the AES recommendation the signal level in this frequency range should not exceed -20 dB.Measurement AccuracyWhere maximum accuracy is required select High. However, this setting does require extra processing.Phase-OscilloThis plug-in combines a phase meter and a X/Y oscilloscope.Note: Phase-Oscillo cannot be used in a mono strip. If you do so, it will return an errormessage.The phase meter displays the phase of a stereo signal within the range of -1 to +1. a value of +1 means that the leftand right channel are completely in phase. A value of -1 means that the left and right channel are completely outof phase causing complete cancellation when they would be summed into a mono signal. A good stereo mixshould be somewhere in between 0 and +1.The oscilloscope gives you some information about the stereophony and the phasing of a stereo signal. A signalwhich is completely mono appears as a vertical line. If only the right channel carries a signal, it is displayed as astraight line at a 45° angle from the bottom left to the top right. If only the left channel carries a signal, it is displayedas a straight line at a 45° angle from the bottom right to the top left. If the left and right channel are out ofphase, this would result in a horizontal line.Effects and Plug-Ins : Phase-Oscillo 13 - 240
