Page 13: Chapter 3 - Suggested Settings For Initial Setups
Chapter 3 – Suggested Settings for Initial Setups The original BSS DPR-402 had no such thing as a “standard setup”; some settings, however, provided a good starting point for certain uses. The original unit, as well as the plugin, has four basic modes of operation. -

Usually this produces a natural-sounding compression, but it can also result in compressing parts of the signal that are below the set frequency. In this mode, the de-esser’s ratio, attack and release are pre-determined. Waves BSS DPR-402 User Guide... -

SC switch. This replaces the normal signal at the output connector with the output of the de-ess filter and aids in setting the FREQ control in relation to the audible sibilance. If desired, the peak limiter can be used simultaneously with wideband de-essing. Waves BSS DPR-402 User Guide... -

SC switch. This replaces the normal signal at the output connector with the output of the de-ess filter and aids in setting the FREQ control in relation to the audible sibilance. The peak limiter should NOT be used in the HF mode. Waves BSS DPR-402 User Guide... -

2. If this produces an unwanted decrease in overall output level, then the amount of compression should be increased either by reducing the compressor threshold, or by increasing the compressor ratio and then reestablishing the gain. Waves BSS DPR-402 User Guide... -

DE-ESSER should not be used in this mode. When input signals exceed the set threshold, expansion occurs. Normally, the Expander Wide DE-ESSER should not be used in this De-ESS mode. The PEAK LIMITER may be used for effect. Waves BSS DPR-402 User Guide... -
