Miscellaneous Options

The Misc tab lets you control various settings for Trash's DSP modules.

Pre-filter

Envelope RMS time Sets the RMS or averaging time used to determine the peak level of the incoming audio when a filter is set to envelope triggering.

LFO tempo slider Alows you to specify whether the LFO time is displayed and set in tempo (beats per minute) or milliseconds.

LFO slider snaps Forces the LFO time slider to snap to integer positions to easily snap between sweep times of whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, etc.

Trash

Oversample distortion Distortion creates high frequency harmonics, which can cause aliasing. Selecting this option allows distortion to be processed at oversampled rates in order to reduce aliasing. Selecting this option requires significant CPU power, but can be used for mixdown.

Post-limiter

Post-limiter Trash comes with a limiter at the end of the signal chain which can help to limit very loud output values. In some cases, Trash can generate very loud output levels. This option can help prevent damage to your hearing or equipment at the expense of slightly higher CPU usage. The limiter has three modes: Off for no processing, Smooth for smooth limiting with a slight (about 1 ms) lookahead, and Zero Delay for slightly less smooth limiting with no lookahead. Since Trash was designed for low latency operation, the default mode is Zero Delay.

Box Model

Box modeler trim level This option sets the accuracy of the box modeling. Higher levels will provide more accurate box modeling at the cost of higher CPU processing.

Alternate box modeling When running at very low latencies on some processors, enabling this option can reduce CPU consumption. On other processors or at high latencies this option will increase CPU consumption, so you should experiment to see whether it helps your particular configuration. Note that Trash's output will be the same regardless of whether this option is enabled or disabled.

Buzz

Delay tempo slider In the Buzz module, you can specify whether the delay time is displayed and set in tempo (beats per minute) or milliseconds.

Delay slider snaps In the Buzz module, this feature forces the delay time slider to easily snap between integer delay times of whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, etc.

Note: This help file is a quick reference for basic Trash functions and controls. We have separate "how to" guides that provide tips and techniques for getting the most out of Trash. You can download these guides from http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/trash/guides.html
