Working With Effects
You can add effects to individual regions or to the overall project mix. Effects let you
modify and shape the sound of regions or projects in a variety of ways.
You add effects to your project with effects plug-ins. WaveBurner includes a complete
set of professional-quality plug-ins that can be used to master a CD. You can also add
Audio Units format effects plug-ins, including those developed by third-party vendors.
You can freely adjust the parameters of effects plug-ins to attain the precise sound
you’re after.
Types of Effects
There are several effect types commonly used in mastering a CD, including:
• Dynamics: These effects shape the volume level of your projects over time.
• Equalization (or EQ): These effects change the level of selected frequencies. EQ
provides a powerful way of shaping the sound of your projects.
• Noise reduction: These effects help to eliminate pops, crackles, hum, and other
unwanted noise.
• Stereo enhancement: These effects change how listeners perceive the placement of
sounds in the stereo field.
• Audio analysis: These are not effects per se, but tools that help you to analyze the
audio signal and optimize the mix for specific listening environments.
