I.C.E. 是一款集咝声消除器、特定频段动态均衡器、特定频段压缩器和去失真插件于一体的出色插件，适用于 Mac 和 Windows。
如果您的音频项目从未遇到任何问题，那么 I.C.E. 可能不适合您。但实际上，总是存在一些技术问题，从细微到严重，甚至可能对项目造成致命影响。
问题可能包括：
"严重"失真
"热点"
过度调制
嘶嘶声
共振低频
过载
数字刺耳音
间歇性人声失真
失控的镲片
整体音色不悦耳
其他令人不适的音频元素
Sonic Studio 和 Legendary Audio 推出的全新软件插件
消除或降低录音中的失真
修复音频问题，包括过载、乐器和人声失真
消除刺耳音、嵌入失真和其他录音缺陷
现已提供适用于 OSX 和 Windows VST 的 AU/VST/AAX 版本
失真，尤其是数字失真，是当今音频领域的一大难题。很容易出现"温暖"的麦克风、"温暖"的前置放大器、插件、调音台和其他软件。
"温暖"通常指的是"好的"失真（就像胆固醇一样，失真有好有坏），但当音频进入混音或母带处理阶段时，它就变得太温暖（失真太多），需要一些 I.C.E.（I.C.E. 是冷色调）。
I.C.E. 可以在录制和处理完成后，通过减少或消除失真来抵消失真并进行清理。这只是 I.C.E. 的重要用途之一。它可以用来解决上述常见的音频问题。
在对项目进行母带处理后，您和/或您的客户注意到立体声母带存在以下问题：
一个低音音符产生共鸣且音量较大，而其他几个音符丢失且不一致
军鼓音色过于"汤姆式"、过亮、过响或"拍手"声过多
歌手在录音中的一处或多处失真
嘶嘶声（尖锐的S音或T音）、踩镲、镲片或所有镲片的声音过多
由于波形在中低音区发生冲突，存在互调失真 http://www.inspiredacoustics.com/en/node/417
一首歌曲与其他歌曲相比过亮、过低或中音过多
底鼓的低频过多（但贝斯没有问题）
整体高音刺耳
人声在歌曲的几个地方被淹没
录音听起来更像数字音而非模拟音
明显的自动调音录音中两处人声效果颤音和失真
录音需要更多"空气感"或超低音
声像移到右侧的钢琴填充和独奏声音过大
混音中军鼓或人声过小
由于在混音或录制过程中使用了有延迟（以及混合了不同延迟）的插件，导致中高频出现令人不快的"塑料/数码音色"。
录音中有四处故意失真的吉他声像移到左侧，每次都过度失真了1拍。
现场录音中房间共振过多……
您能做什么？
在合适的人手和耳朵的帮助下，I.C.E.（紧急情况下）可以在几秒钟内（对于复杂的问题，可能需要几分钟）纠正上述所有问题，零延迟，无伪影，声音通透。
这些是 Billy Stull 母带处理客户最近遇到的实际问题/请求。他只处理双轨立体声母带（而非单轨）。I.C.E. 不仅用于失真和母带处理，还能在单轨多轨上进行清理和"雕琢"，让您随心所欲地欣赏音频。
Billy Stull 拥有 50 年的从业经验，曾与 Rupert Neve、Norman Petty、华纳兄弟、Andy Johns 等合作，录制/混音/母带处理了数千个项目，并拥有 20 年的母带处理经验。他自 2006 年以来一直教授母带处理。凭借丰富的经验，他与 Sonic Studio 合作开发了这款插件，旨在帮助母带处理社区分享这些工具。
Billy Stull 的小贴士（化不可能为可能，还是魔法？）
一支来自墨西哥的知名乐队在审阅了他们新单曲的母带处理后，对它赞不绝口。他们唯一的要求是将底鼓的低频去掉一点，但贝斯吉他的低频保持不变。使用 I.C.E.，我在大约 10 秒内完成了这个要求。
一位著名的巴西流行歌手要求在一首歌中将小军鼓的高音降低 25%，同时不改变人声或混音中的其他元素。我在大约 10 秒内完成了这个要求。我已经使用 I.C.E. 使贝斯吉他的声音保持一致。
一位去年获得 ELO 粉丝俱乐部年度最佳唱片奖（由我负责母带处理）的歌手要求我减少/清理左侧故意失真的吉他独奏中四个 1 秒的膨胀/峰值。我花了大约 3 分钟的时间识别频段并自动化 I.C.E. 设置，最终完成了这个要求。
这些都是经过立体声母带处理的歌曲，而不是单独的音轨或
I.C.E. is a De-esser, a frequency band specific Dynamic EQ, a frequency band specific Compressor, and a De-distortion plugin –all in one great plug-in for Mac and Windows.
If you never have any problems with your Audio Projects, Then I.C.E. may not be for you. But in reality, there are always technical problems that range from subtle to critical and even some that are potentially fatal to the project.
Problems might include:
"Bad" distortion
"Hot spots"
Over modulation
Sibilance
Resonant bass frequencies
Overload
Digital harshness
Intermittent vocal distortion
Out-of-control cymbals
A generally unpleasant overall tone
Other offending audio elements
The new Software Plug-in from Sonic Studio and Legendary Audio
Removes or reduces distortion in recordings
Cleans up audio problems including overload, distorted instruments and vocals
Eliminates harshness, imbedded distortion, and other recorded audio flaws
Available now as AU/VST/AAX for OSX and Windows VST
Distortion, especially of the digital type, is a huge problem in audio today. It is very easy to get a "warm" microphone, a "warm" preamp, plug-in, mixing console, and other software.
"Warm" translates to generally "good" distortion (like cholesterol, there is good and bad distortion), but by the time the audio gets to the mixing or mastering stage, it is too warm (too much distortion) and it needs some I.C.E. (I.C.E is cool).
I.C.E can counter the distortion and clean it up by reducing or eliminating the distortion AFTER it has already been recorded and processed. This is just one of the important uses of I.C.E. It can be used to attack the aforementioned list of common audio problems.
After Mastering the project, you and/or your client notice these problems on the stereo Master
There is one bass note that resonates and is louder and several notes that are lost and inconsistent
The snare tone is too "tom-ish "or too bright or too loud or has too much "hand-clap"
The vocalist distorts in one or more places in the recording
There's too much sibilance (hot s's or t's), or hi-hat, or crash cymbal, or over-all cymbals
There is intermodular distortion as the wave forms clash in the low mids http://www.inspiredacoustics.com/en/node/417
A song is too bright, or bassy, or has too much mid-range compared to the other songs
The Kick Drum has too much Low end (but the bass guitar is fine)
The over-all Highs are harsh
The vocal is buried in a few places in the song
The recording sounds more digital than Analog
The prominent Auto-tune vocal effect warbles and distorts in 2 places in the recording
The recording needs more "air" or Sub-bass
The Piano fills and solo which are panned to the right are too loud
The snare or vocal is too quiet in the mix
There 's an unpleasant "plastic/digital tone" on the High mid frequencies from using plugins with latency (and a mixture of different latencies) when the recording was mixed or recorded
There are 4 places in the recording that the purposely distorted guitar, panned to the left side, over-distorts for I beat in each instance
Too much room resonance in the live recording...
What can you do?
In the right hands and ears, I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) can correct all of the above in a few seconds (or minutes for the complicated issues) with zero latency, no artifacts, and transparent sound.
These are actual recent problems / requests from Billy Stull's Mastering clients. He was only working with 2 track stereo Masters (not individual tracks). Not just for distortion and Mastering, I.C.E. on individual multitracks cleans up and "sculpts" to your heart's / Audio's content.
Billy Stull has 50 years in the business - worked with Rupert Neve, Norman Petty, Warner Bros., Andy Johns, etc. and has recorded/mixed/mastered thousands of projects and has been Mastering for 20 years. He's taught Mastering since 2006. Using his experience, he has innovated this plugin collaboration with Sonic Studio to help share these tools with the mastering community.
Tips from Billy Stull (The Impossible Made Possible, or is it MAGIC?)
A well know band from Mexico, after reviewing the Master of their new single, loved it. Their only request was to take a little bottom end off of the Kick drum but not any off of the Bass Guitar. Using I.C.E., I accomplished the request in about 10 seconds.
A well-known Brazilian Pop artist asked on one song to reduce the high end of the snare drum on one song by 25% - without changing anything else on the vocal or other elements in the mix. I accomplished the request in about 10 seconds. I had already used I.C.E. to make the bass guitar consistent.
An artist that won record of the year last year from the ELO fan club (which I Mastered) asked me to reduce/cleanup four 1 second swell/peaks of the purposely distorted guitar solo on the left side only. I accomplished that in about 3 minutes of identifying the frequency bands and automating the I.C.E. settings.
These were all Stereo Mastered songs, not individual tracks or |
