Octaver: an Audio Effect

An octaver audio effect is a simple form of a harmonizer that creates harmonies from more than two notes. It operates by shifting the original version either one octave up or one octave down. In other words, this effect mixes the input signal with a synthesized one. The synthesized octave signal comes from either by…

FET Compressors

Field effect transistors, also known as FET, are a type of dynamic audio effect. FET compressors are devices from the family of dynamic audio effects. Their design maintains more transients, which adds an extra punch in contrast to the variable. These extra punches are known as mu and VCA compressors. Generally, the slowest attack time…

Audio Limiter

A limiter is an audio effect that allows the signals below an established level or input power to remain untouched. It does so while weakening the peaks of the stronger audio signals. A Very Brief History To begin with, limiters date back to many decades ago, when the first audio processing tool appeared. This audio…

Noise Gate

A noise gate is an audio effect. Some consider it an expander for its slope of -∞. This feature can mute the signal that falls below the selected threshold. This noise effect gates out the noise by setting the threshold just above the level of the background noise. As a result, the gate opens only…
