  • Page 6: Introduction

    Oh, you’re probably wondering about the name, right? It was a hot day, someone in the team had bought in a CD of flamenco guitar music and one of the tunes, ‘Duende’, just kind of hung in the air. Something inspired us to discover that in flamenco culture, Duende is a word for spirit, soul, it’s the force that inspires the music.

  • Page 9: Operational Overview

    You can run Duende plug-ins simultaneously with your other host based plug-ins in any combination. All Duende plug-ins support up to 40bit 96kHz operation. Please note that Duende plug-ins use twice as much DSP resources at 96kHz.

  • Page 10: Duende Preferences/Control Panel

    Each mono plug-in loaded into Duende will take up one slot, a '1' representing a used slot and a '- ' representing an unused slot. At 44.1 and 48kHz there are 32 slots available and at 88.2 and 96kHz there are 16 slots available.

  • Page 14 Tracks that use no Duende plug-ins or less than the track with the most Duende plug-ins will need to be delayed so they are all in time. Because this latency is reported by Pro Tools it is easily compensated for.

  • Page 15: Using Automatic Delay Compensation In Pro Tools Hd

    Any tracks that have a smaller latency than the maximum must also be delayed but by a smaller amount (i.e. tracks with 1 Duende plug-in where the maximum has 3). The delay value for these will be maximum latency minus the latency reported by that track.
  • Page 16 Duende plug-ins are loaded. Note that if an audio track with 1 Duende plug-in is routed to an aux channel with 2 Duende plug- ins the total latency for that audio getting to the mix bus will equal 3 plug-ins; this will however be clearly shown by Pro Tools.
  • Page 17 Delay Compensation box then you don’t need to worry and everything will be compensated for. As you can see in the picture above the ‘kc merged’ channel has 1 Duende channel strip loaded onto it, therefore Pro Tools is automatically delaying the other channels by that amount (1028 samples) to ensure all audio is kept in sync.

    6. Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip 6.1 Introduction The Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is based on the EQ and compressor sections of the XL 9000 K Series console. SSL were the first manufacturer to feature dynamics and EQ on every channel on an in-line console with the SL 4000 B Series in 1977.
  • Page 19 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Duende User Guide When no buttons in the Filter section are pressed, the filters come after the Equalizer section With the INPUT button pressed, the filters come before the Equalizer section When the DYN SC button is pressed, the filters are switched into the sidechain of the Dynamics section.

  • Page 20: Equaliser Section

    OUTPUT Operation The equaliser included with the Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is a four band parametric EQ. Based on the XL 9000 K Series EQ circuit, this plug-in includes two distinct EQ curves, one based on the SSL G Series EQ and another based on the latest version of SSL’s classic E Series EQ.
  • Page 21 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Duende User Guide When the EQ is switched to ‘E’ operation, the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF sections remains constant at all gains, so at lower gains the EQ curves are comparatively narrower for a given Q setting.

  • Page 22: Dynamics Section

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Duende User Guide 6.5 Dynamics Section The Dynamics Section comprises a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate. Both sections work independently, but can be operational at the same time, providing sophisticated control of signal levels. The Filter and/or the equaliser section can be assigned to the dynamics sidechain allowing for advanced processes like de-essing etc.

  • Page 23: Compressor/Limiter

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Duende User Guide Compressor/Limiter Introduction The Channel Compressor/Limiter Section has a number of key features including a variable compression ratio from 1:1 to Infinity:1, a variable threshold from -20dB to +10dB, auto sensing attack time (or selectable 1ms attack time), and a variable release from 0.1 to 4 seconds.

The sidechain signal is sourced from the signal feeding the dynamics section and the filters and/or equaliser can be inserted in this sidechain.

  • Page 25: Advanced Signal Routing Options

    BYPASS ALL: Engaging this button will bypass all channel processing whilst still routing the signal through Duende. This avoids the time shift which occurs when a ‘hard’ bypass is done using the default DAW control, allowing for easier A/B comparison between processed and unprocessed signals.
