Product Detail
Are you in need of a top - notch metering solution for audio levels in recording, broadcast, or motion pictures? Look no further! Waves Dorrough Stereo offers more than just detecting peak and overs to avoid distortion. It focuses on average levels that evoke emotional responses from listeners and moviegoers. Waves has skillfully modeled Dorrough's patented Ballistic process, a 20 - year pursuit of audio measurement perfection, to create the world's most accurate software meters. Key features include close collaboration with Dorrough Electronics, super - fast peak metering with analog - like behavior, emulation of Dorrough's 3 popular loudness meters, duplication of industry - standard hardware visuals, mono and stereo meters in 3 sizes and 3 styles, Sum/Diff mode to alert on energy drops in mono, 'Overs' LED for samples exceeding 0 dBFS, 3 meter modes (Left/Right, Sum/Difference, Phase), 3 peak modes (3 - second hold, infinite hold, or peak reset), and the ability to choose reference levels with analog devices.
Using the Waves Dorrough Stereo is a breeze. First, connect it to your audio setup as you would with other similar devices. When starting your audio project, select the appropriate meter mode according to your needs - Left/Right for a standard view, Sum/Difference to check for potential mono - compatibility issues, and Phase to analyze the phase relationship. You can also pick the peak mode that suits your workflow, whether it's holding the peak for 3 seconds, an infinite hold, or resetting the peak. Regarding reference levels, if you're working with analog devices, just choose the correct reference level in the settings. As for the size and style of the meters, pick what you find most comfortable and visually appealing. Be aware that while using the Sum/Diff mode, it's there to warn you if there are energy drops when the audio is summed to mono, so pay attention to those alerts. When it comes to maintenance, keep your software up - to - date by regularly checking for updates from Waves. This will ensure that your Waves Dorrough Stereo continues to work at its best and takes advantage of any improvements or new features.
