Nightclub Parameters

HALL SIZE allows you to select room sizes of lengths ranging from 4-17

meters.

LIVENESS adjusts the amount of recirculation within the effect. Higher

values mimic more reflective surfaces in the simulated space and increase

the amount of time it takes the sound to decay. At very high values, the

decay is audibly less smooth than in the Church and Cathedral Effects,

which are more effective at simulating very live spaces.

ROLLOFF mimics the absorption of the air in the hall and, typically, should

begin with a low frequency to simulate large spaces.

SPEECH DETECT activates a circuit that distinguishes monaural speech

from other inputs. Essentially, this control turns down the effect to make

speech clearer. Whenever stereo signals are present, the right and left input

channels are used independently as inputs to the ambience synthesis. If

there is a strong monaural speaking voice present at the same time, this

component of the input to the Nighclub effect is reduced while the stereo

component is increased.

If the input signal is pure monaural speech the reverb is almost entirely

attenuated. SPEECH DETECT is a real benefit to some popular music

(where spoken voice, such as rap, occurs along with the music), stereo

television and early stereo movies. Any stereo material which was not

carefully mixed for Surround is a good candidate for playing through the

Nightclub Effect with speech detect on.

CENTER LEVEL adjusts the output level from the center speaker.

SUBWOOFER LVL boosts or cuts the subwoofer output level. Although the

normal subwoofer level is set during the calibration procedure, with some

recordings it may be desirable to increase or decrease this deep bass level.

EFFECT LEVEL adjusts the loudness of the side and rear speakers. When

there are no side speakers, it adjusts the amount of ambient signal mixed

into the main loudspeakers.

CUSTOM

Nightclub

The Nightclub Effect generates the appropriate early reflections for stereo

simulation of many different intimate spaces, and sends the reflections to

the front, side and rear speakers.
