Product Features

(DC SIX)

               

 

 

Easy DeClick and DeCrackle - One of the most significant changes with DC5 has been in the EZ DeClick and DeCrackle.  Not only has this process been made much easier to manage, it also finds and repairs a much wider range of clicks and pops.

Fast Multi-tiered Editor - A brand new operating Mode for FIVE.  This new mode of operation allows instant editing with each level saved in the Fast Edit History Window, so instant undo over numerous levels is easy.  Cut/Copy/Paste instantly…regardless of file length. 

DeClipper - Very often, files will become “clipped” if the input on the sound card is turned up too high and the sound card is overloaded.  The results are usually distortion and a waveform that is “flattened out” on top.  The new DeClipper helps remove this distortion and reform the waveforms.

Sample Rate Conversion - Quickly convert your files from one common sample rate and bit depth to another.

LIVE Feed through Mode -Now you don’t need to necessarily have your audio recorded to the hard drive to take advantage of the numerous features of FIVE.  Live mode allows you to run dirty audio in the inputs of your sound card, set up your numerous filters on the screen and have cleaned audio flow out the output of your sound card in real time. 

Spectral Subtraction Filter In Continuous Noise - An amazing new feature within the Continuous Noise filter…very helpful in situations where you’re wading through recordings that are loaded with lots of ambient noise.

Time Compression and Expansion (Stretch and Squish) - Now you can speed up or slow down the speed of an audio file and keep the pitch constant. 

.cue Sheet Support for CD Burning - You can now generate a .cue sheet that is compatible with many of today's most popular CD burning programs.

Wave file to MP3 Conversion via popular encoders - Now, via the use of popular outboard encoders (Blade, Lame, Ogg Vorbis, Xing), you can quickly and easily convert any wave file to MP3 format from within the program.

Weighting Function added to Median Filter - This new function from within the Median Filter allows you to control the Timbre of your wave file.

Chebyshev response and 4th Order Slope added to Band Pass, High Pass, and Low Pass - These filters display relatively steep roll-off characteristics, but, unlike the Butterworth filters, have ripple in their pass-band. 

Filter Sweeper - A novel new filter which allows the user to apply varying degrees of notch, high and low pass filters over time.  This is perfect in situations where more filtering is needed at the beginning of a file.

De-Esser with Variable Frequency Control to Dynamics Processor - This special compression algorithm is tooled directly to remove hard “s” sounds that occur in older and poorly recorded files.

Pencil Wave Form Drawing - Now you can zoom to single sample resolution and manually draw out clicks and pops that show up as spikes in the waveform.

Time Bracketed Play Range - Allows you to audition a selected area or play from the cursor and add a predetermined amount of space on each side.  This is particularly useful when trying to zero in on a problem area.

Timer Recording - Just like your VCR…you can set your software to begin recording at a certain time and end recording later.  This can be set to be a one time recording or a daily recording.

Signal Triggered VOX Recording - You can now trigger the software to begin recording automatically when a user determined level of signal is sustained for a user determined length of time.

Distortion Analyzer - New to the Spectrum Analyzer…measures the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of any device.

Peak Hold Added to VU Meters - Newly designed VU meters more closely resemble a high end stereo system readout.

Dithering Options for Resolution Conversion - Both Save as and the Sample Rate Conversion tool allow you to select from 3 different dithering options…Flat Spectrum, Triangular High Pass, and Noise Shape 2.

AIFF to wave file Converter - Simply open an AIFF file within the program and it’s instantly converted to a wave file.  You can now easily work on your favorite Mac files and then export them back to their original format.

Drag and Drop File Support - Drag and drop any audio file supported by the program and it opens and converts it automatically.

Export Playlists - Export your playlist in a standard text file so that it can be used by numerous label making and CD writing programs. 

Import/Export Preset Files - Now you can share your favorite Presets with other users of the Enhanced Audio family via the Internet.

Hundreds of New Factory Presets (Over 800 Total) - Always a great starting point.  We’ve added a ton of new tools to this version; we’ve also followed it up with an incredible amount of “factory” presets to help get you in the ballpark. 

New Keyboard Accelerators - We are always searching for ways to make the product easier to navigate.  The accelerators just give you quick shortcuts to menu items.

Print Waveforms or any Screen Shot - A simple Print Screen function has been added with notation capabilities.

Up to 192 kHz/24 bit Sampling Rate Support - Now all popular sample rates and depths are supported. 

Instant Channel Selection - Quickly and easily audition Left, Right or Stereo…even during playback.  Apply any filter to either channel with one click of the mouse.

New Signal Generation Functions - White, Pink and Brown noise generators added.

New Lock Markers Function - Lock your markers in place so that you can’t accidentally move them while working.

New Marker Naming Function - Name your markers with text labels.

New Selectable Fonts and Colors - Manage your working environment to please your eyes.

New Windows WDM as well as MME Support - Will support virtually any sound card.

High Res Spectrum Analyzer Added - Now capable of resolving frequency increments as small as 0.02 Hz.

New P+C-based ALC - Ideal for speech processing…focus all 4 bands of Punch and Crunch on human speech frequencies.
