Buttons

Clicking on the command buttons give the following results:

• Manage opens a dropdown menu enabling you to select factory presets, save or delete user presets, and see some detail about the tool. For details of these menu items, see Manage presets. The included factory presets are:

• Defaults The factory default setting.
• Hard clip -12dB, 80% make-up gain Distortion that clips peaks at -12 db and then boosts the output level
• Soft clip -12dB, 80% make-up gain Similar to the "Hard clip" preset but with slightly rounded clipping for less aliasing.
• Fuzz Box A clipping effect commonly used with electric guitars.
• Walkie-talkie A heavily distorted effect suggestive of military walkie-talkies. May be used in conjunction with the Filter Curve EQ or Graphic EQ effects for a more authentic walkie-talkie effect.
• Blues drive sustain A soft overdrive effect that raises the volume of quiet sounds.
• Light Crunch Overdrive A medium/strong overdrive effect, reminiscent of high input gain on a guitar amplifier.
• Heavy Overdrive Severe distortion. A "turn it up to 11" type effect.
• 3rd Harmonic (Perfect Fifth) When applied to a sine tone, adds one harmonic that is three times the frequency of the original tone.
• Valve Overdrive A fairly subtle overdrive effect with even harmonics. Even harmonics have frequencies that are even number multiples of the original frequencies.
• 2nd Harmonic (Octave) When applied to a sine tone, adds one harmonic that is double the frequency of the original tone (one octave above).
• Gated Expansion Distortion Heavily distorts both high and low level signals, making peaks "crunchy" and quiet parts much quieter.
• Leveller, Light, -70dB noise floor The same as the "Leveller" effect that was shipped in earlier versions of Audacity.
• Leveller, Moderate, -70dB noise floor
• Leveller, Heavy, -70dB noise floor
• Leveller, Heavier, -70dB noise floor
• Leveller, Heaviest, -70dB noise floor
• Half-wave Rectifier Equivalent to half-wave rectification.
• Full-wave Rectifier Equivalent to full-wave rectification.
• Full-wave Rectifier (DC blocked) Equivalent to full-wave rectification with a high pass filter to reduce DC offset
• Percussion Limiter A hard clipping limiter that restores a portion of the clipped peaks to make the distortion less harsh. Can be effective for limiting peaks and adding "bite" to percussive sounds like snare drums and hi-hats.

• Start Playback starts playback of the effect preview
• Skip Backward skips backward through the effect preview
• Skip Forward skips forward through the effect preview
•  Enable Uncheck the checkbox to hear the audio without the effect applied, and recheck the box to hear the effect applied at its current settings.
• OK applies the effect to the selected audio with the current effect settings and closes the dialog
• Cancel closes the dialog
