Tascam Exciter (Stereo)

Use this plug-in to add extra high frequency punch to
your tracks. It is especially useful for improving the
clarity of poorly recorded vocals. However, be care-
ful not to overdo it - because too much of this effect
can be harsh sounding.

Tascam/Nemesys HD1 Dither

This plug-in is for changing and enhancing the reso-
lution of digital recordings. Its dithering algorithm
boasts an extremely flat, low noise spectrum. Use it
to convert bit resolutions, to dither, and to truncate.
TIP
This plug-in is best used post-fader (either on inserts or
busses), as the last processor in a signal chain. If it is
placed in a position where DSP processing happens
afterwards, you lose the bit resolution effect.

SENSE
This control determines how often the
exciter effect will occur.
FREQUENCY
This control defines the frequency
above which exciting occurs.

Bit Depth

Select the bit depth you want to convert
to in this field (16, 18, 20, or 24).
Type
In this field there are three choices:
, or .
Truncate Bypass
HD1
This setting uses the TASCAM/Nemesys
high-definition dithering algorithm to improve the
low amplitude fidelity of your digital signal.
Truncate
This setting cuts off the bottom least sig-
nificant bits in your digital recording. This might
prove useful when using the
sound quality between 24 bit versions and 16 bit ver-
sions of your mix.
Bypass
Select bypass when you only want to con-
vert bit resolution without truncating or dithering.
