5.8.7 HF/LF Peak/shelf filter with adjustable Q-factor. 5.8.8 HMF/MF/LMF Peak filter with adjustable Q-factor. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 12 of 30... -
Page 13: Compressor
CS-5501 provides 2 independent compressor modules. The compressor squeezes the incoming signal depending on threshold and ratio. The compressor design is based on TBProAudio’s Impress and offers 3 different classical types: VCA stands for “Voltage Controlled Amplifier” and its compression behavior is based on PEAK, with fast attack and release. -
Page 14: Compressor Type
Sets attack-time, in ms. Lower values make the compressor more responsive. 5.9.10 Release Sets release-time, in seconds. Higher values make the compressor longer working. 5.9.11 Auto release Enables program dependent release time calculation (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 14 of 30... -
Page 15: Ratio
5.9.13 Output Sets output volume, in dB. 5.9.14 Set mixing-ratio of compressed and original signal, from 0 % (dry) - 100 % (wet). 5.9.15 Gain reduction meter Shows current gain reduction, in dB (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 15 of 30... -
Page 16: Gate/Expander
5.10.6.1 Internal/External Selects either internal or external side chain. VST2 uses channel 3+4 as ext. side chain. For VST3/AU/AAX/RTAS please consult your DAW manual. 5.10.6.2 Monitor Lets you monitor the side chain signal (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 16 of 30... -
Page 17: Gate/Expander Mode Switch
5.10.8 Threshold Sets threshold value, in dBFS. 5.10.9 Attack Set attack time, in ms. Lower values make the gate/expander more responsive. 5.10.10 Hold Sets hold time, in ms. Lower values start release earlier. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 17 of 30... -
Page 18: Release
Set release time, in ms. Higher values make the gate/expander longer open. 5.10.12 Range Variable range, in dB. In gate mode min value -72dB is treated as range off. 5.10.13 Attenuation meter Shows current signal attenuation, in dB (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 18 of 30... -
Page 19: Esser
CS-5501 provides 2 independent de-esser modules. Deeser is a kind of dynamic EQ. It compresses/expands the signal in a defined frequency range depending on the input/side-chain signal. The design is based on TBProAudio’s dEQ6. 5.11.1 Effect module selector Select effect module from drop-down menu 5.11.2... -
Page 20: Filter Type
Lets you listen to the signal removed by the de-esser or to signal focused by the de- esser. 5.11.10 Threshold Sets threshold value, in dBFS. 5.11.11 Sets filter bandwidth. 5.11.12 Frequency Sets centre frequency. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 20 of 30... -
Page 21: Attack
Set static filter gain, in dB. 5.11.17 Output Sets output volume, in dB 5.11.18 Range Limits the gain reduction to a certain range. 5.11.19 Gain reduction meter Shows current gain reduction (blue) or gain boost (green), in dB. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 21 of 30... -
Page 22: Limiter
5.12 Limiter CS-5501 provides 2 independent limiter modules. The limiter keeps the signal below a certain “ceiling” level. The design is based on TBProAudio’s LAxLimiter. Please to note that Limiter introduces 128 smp latency, which is usually compensated by the DAW. -
Page 23: Release
Sets the release time, in ms 5.12.8 Auto release Enables program dependent release time calculation. 5.12.9 Ceiling Set the maximum output level, in dBFS. 5.12.10 Gain reduction meter Shows current gain reduction, in dB. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 23 of 30... -
Page 24: Saturation
Tube Character Select either clean/warm/crisp/classic saturation type. Character “classic” is from former CS-3301 plugin 5.13.4 Stages Sets number of stages to enrich the effect. 5.13.5 Fluctuation Controls the amount of saturation fluctuation, in percent. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 24 of 30... -
Page 25: Odd
Controls the amount of even harmonics added to the signal, in percent. 5.14 Thermal noise emulation CS-5501 provides a module to emulate thermal noise of analogue channel strips. 5.14.1 Off/On Enables the module. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 25 of 30... -
Page 26: Additional Routing Options
“creative” effect. The start and end position of AB-LM Lite can be freely set to cover either modules only, including clip module or including in and out fader. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 26 of 30... -
Page 27: Plugin Menu
Sets the position of the clip module either pre or post out fader. Please refer to chapter 5.15 (additional routing options). 5.16.12 AB-LM Lite Start Position Sets the start position of AB-LM to either pre or post in fader. Please refer to chapter 5.15 (additional routing options). (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 27 of 30... -
Page 28: Ab-Lm Lite End Position
Propagates smart silence processing setting to all DSEQ instances (including SSP custom threshold). This functions only if all DSEQ instances are in the same process space. Please consult the DAW manual for more information. 5.17 Background themes Changes background theme. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 28 of 30... -
Page 29: Ab-Lm Lite
AB-LM also offers more advanced options, including advanced measurement modes and snapshots. For the more advanced features of AB-LM, please see www.tbproaudio.de. (C) TBProaudio 2022 Page 29 of 30... -

8 Demo mode versus Registered Mode In demo mode (without activation) the plug-in mutes audio every 90 seconds for a short period. This could be circumvented by clicking on the "TBProAudio" logo within 90 seconds. 9 Plugin activation The plugins needs to be registered/activated to remove demo restrictions. Please go to www.tb-proaudio.de...
