Factory Presets
Overview
The factory presets included with the VOCO 8 provide a good starting point for defining your own custom voice pro-
cessing signature sound. These presets are designed for male voices (presets beginning with the letter M), female voices
(presets beginning with the letter F), or both (presets beginning with M&F), each with varying degrees of processing.
The de-esser is bypassed and final 4-Band Parametric EQ in all presets is set flat, though the frequency and "Q" of each EQ
band has been customized for each preset. Below is a list of factory presets and a brief description of each. These presets
can all be used as the basis for new user presets, but cannot be overwritten or removed. New in version 1.14 are presets for
RE-20 and SM7 microphones which should be very good starting points for these popular mics.
Factory Preset List
M&F Open
Designed as a very clean and "open" sound for both male and female voices.
M&F Open Plus
Still very clean and conservative, with just a bit more "punch" than the M&F Open preset.
RE20 Mic Punchy
Designed specifically with the Electrovoice RE-20 microphone in mind, this preset offers plenty of punch and clarity.
SM-7 Mic Punchy
If you have an SM-7, give this preset a try. The response has been tailored specifically to complement the characteristics of
this broadcaster favorite.
M&F - Soft tone
A relatively conservative preset designed for both male and female voices. The 3-band processing is set with a slightly
higher drive level in the high band (centered at 1.38 kHz) with slightly less in the mid and low band (80 Hz), along with
moderate attack and release times. The high and mid processing bands are set to a slightly lower threshold for just a bit
more processing action in those bands.
M&F - News Presenter - Soft tone
Similar to the basic "M&F - Soft Tone" preset, "M&F - News Presenter - Soft Tone" has an even more "neutral" quality to
it. The low band frequency has been increased to 90 Hz and the drive levels in the multiband processing have been set to
"0" with no added or reduced drive in any band. Release times in the multiband processing section are set slightly slower
than "M&F - Soft Tone".
