Audio-Plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe's Premiere Pro CS5 features dramatically enhanced audio options for mono, stereo and surround sound. Cube-Tec has developed these audio plugins for this exciting new version of the world's leading NLE.
Fourteen state-of-the-art plugins provide the daily needed functionality in professional video work.
All plugins provide up to 6 channel surround capabilities and outperform most third-party plugins, thus taking off the need for buying additional audio tools.
All Cube-Tec Plugins for Premiere are available for both Windows and Mac.
Spectral NoiseReduction
The Spectral Noise Reduction algorithm uses three notch filter banks to remove tonal disturbances from audio signals. Especially original sound coming from the shooting location may suffer from mains buzz, whistling tones and such.
Reverb
Reverb was designed to provide the ambience and "spacy-ness" needed for a realistic impression of sound position in video. The algorithm creates a realistic room simulation with a high density tail for a very warm sounding reverb. A fine selection of parameters offers great flexibility without making it too complex to understand.
EQ
The EQ consists of three fully parametric mid bands and filters for the hi- and low bands with a switchable characteristic between shelving and cut-off.
The low and high band filters are shelving filters by default. The gain of the bands will be constant over frequency. The cut button will switch the low and high bands from shelving to cut-off filters. The gain will be fixed to -12 dB per octave, thus the gain dial is deactivated in cut-off mode.
MultibandCompressor
The Multiband Compressor is a three band compressor with independent control sets for each band. Due to its unique internal structure, the sound of this compressor is much softer than the one used on the Dynamics plugin.
To select a band for adjustment, click on the band in the frequency window. The active band will be highlighted and the corresponding compression characteristic will also be highlighted in the characteristic display.
Dynamics
The Dynamics plugin is a set of dynamic control modules. These modules are: Gate, Compressor, Expander, Limiter and SoftClip. Each of the modules can be switched off independently if it is not needed.
DeClicker
DeClicker is used to remove unwanted clicks from the audio signal. Clicks are often introduced by bad splices on film edits, and bad digital edits of the audio footage. Often, DeClicker is very helpful for small pops introduced by hitting a microphone or similar noises.
DeCrackler
The DeCrackler plugin is very efficient in removing crackle-like
sounds from original recordings that cannot be redone, or from
audio coming off film, shellack and vinyl recordings.
The plugin works great on audio coming from 16mm and 35mm films,
but is also very helpful with raindrops on window, bad cables of
the recording equipment, buzz from dimmers and other things that
produce a crackle-like sound, e.g. a clip-on microphone that is
slightly rubbing on a collar of a shirt.
DeNoiser
This is the plugin of choice, if you want to remove tape noise from analog recordings made on camcorders or tape machines. The DeNoiser automatically detects the noise floor of the audio material and adapts to the current signal.
Flanger
The Flanger algorithm takes one part of the incoming signal and mixes this signal time-delayed to the other part of the original signal, thus producing a flanged signal at the output.
Phaser
The Phaser algorithm takes a part of the incoming signal, shifts the phase by a varying degree and mixes it back to the original signal. The result is a partial cancellation of the frequency spectrum, giving the phaser its distinctive sound well known from Motown funk guitars.
Chorus
The algorithm of Adobe Premiere's Pro Chorus plugin takes a part of the incoming signal, shifts the phase by a varying degree and mixes it back to the original signal. The result is a partial cancellation of the frequency spectrum, giving the Chorus its "spacy" sound well suited to widen the stereo panorama of synths, guitars and choirs.
DeEsser
The DeEsser plugin is used to remove sharp tones from narration and voice-overs, making the voice much more pleasant to listen to.
PitchShifter
The PitchShifter is a very common effect to create Chip Monks or Mickey Mouse voices (TM of Walt Disney), but can be used as well to give a voice a more mature sound and vice versa. This plugin is most effective on vocals and solo instruments. Higher settings are useful for special effects, but will lead to audible artefacts.
DeHummer
With the DeHummer plugin, you can remove unwanted 50 Hz / 60 Hz mains hum introduced by bad shielded cables, grounding loops and dimmers.
