Routing Channels to Outputs Introduction - basics The main purpose of the output section is routing of the physical, DA W and FireW ire input channels to the physical outputs.
DA W In this section you route the outputs of your DA W . DSP The DSP outputs are: Main, AUX1, AUX 2 outputs and Fabrik R sends. The AUX outputs are typically used for headphones. S S p p e e a a k k e e r r S S e e t t s s Three speaker setups can be setup and switching between the sets is easy .
10 Speaker sets The speaker sets can be labeled individually . Simply click in the text field and enter a name of your choice. Assigning an output to a speaker set With no bass management an output is assigned directly to a speaker set by checking the ASSIGN check box for the output.
16 + 17 High Pass & Low Pass The high/low pass filters filtrate the signal before distribution to main and sub-channels. The high-pass filter is typically used when relatively small main monitors are used. The performance of such small main monitors will improve significantly , when they don’t have to reproduce very low frequency signals.

WDM handling (Windo ws only) WDM is Windows' audio driver system, and is used for Windows sounds, media player and other applications that don't support ASIO. An application such as PowerDVD also uses WDM as audio driver system. Setting up T o use Studio Konnekt 48 with WDM, you need to tell Windows that this is your intension.

Introduction Fabrik C Studio is based on the innovative Meta Intuitive Navigation T echnology (MINT™) that redefines the way you use professional audio plug-ins for professional results.
Full-band or 3-band compression? Fabrik C Studio includes both a 3-band and a Full-band compression mode. As Fabrik C Studio is a plug-in that is designed to be used on single sources and not as a dedicated mastering tool you might wonder how the 3-band mode applies.
the overtones intact. 3-band compression on grouped sources If you have grouped several sources and want to do a “global” compression on this section, the 3-band mode can be very effective. It will give you more transparency in your overall mix as you can apply independent compression to each of the three frequency bands.
Signal Flow - 3-band mode This is a schematic overview of the signals flow through the algorithm in 3-band mode. As illustrated - the signal first passes the 4-band parametric EQ. The signal is then split into lo-, mid- and hi-bands for individual compression.
EQ section The Fabrik C Studio EQ section is a 4-band parametric EQ with four selectable filter types: Notch, Parametric, Shelving and Cut. If you’re looking for a razor sharp filter , use the Notch filter that has a lower limit as low as 0.01 octaves.
Filter types For Lo and Hi filters select between filter types: Parametric, Notch, Shelve and Cut. For Mid 1 and Mid 2, select between filter types: Parametric and Notch.
Freq Range - Lo band : 20 Hz to 20 kHz Range - Mid1 band : 20 Hz to 20 kHz Range - Mid2 band : 20 Hz to 20 kHz Range - Hi band : 20 Hz to 40 kHz Gain Select the band, click on the Gain field then drag the mouse vertically to change the value.
FABRIK C STUDIO 47 Gain Control The Gain settings are very important. The higher set In Gain the harder the signal meets the Compressor Threshold. • Grab GAIN and move the symbol in vertical and horizontal directions to set both In Gain and Make-up gain with just one handle.
FABRIK C STUDIO 48 Compressor control The Low , Mid and High parameters indicate the set compression amount for the three bands. • Grab COMP and position this icon freely within the triangle to distribute the amount of compression on the three bands.
FABRIK C STUDIO 49 • Grab the “C”, “L” or “G” handle using the left mouse button. • Press and hold the Alt key (Mac: Command key), while moving the mouse in a circle. The “compass” function is now active and you can select one of 2 to 6 directions.
FABRIK C STUDIO 50 The Limiter Fabrik C Studio also holds a Limiter . The Limiter is used to prevent overloads occurring at extreme and occasional peaks in the source material - peaks that may not be caught and attenuated sufficiently by the Compressor .
FABRIK C STUDIO 51 Routing modes T wo routing modes can be selected via the Routing mode drop-down menu. Plug-In mode - must be selected when Fabrik C is used as VST plug-in. Internal mode - Use internal mode when Fabrik C is used without a host program with VST facilities and when monitoring a source signal with no latency .
52 FABRIK R STUDIO Introduction Fabrik R Studio is based on the innovative Meta Intuitive Navigation T echnology (MINT™) that redefines the way you use professional audio plug-ins for professional results. Fabrik R Studio combines nine TC Reverb algorithms in one single plug-in.
53 FABRIK R STUDIO Reverb T ypes • Select one of the 9 Reverb types using the left mouse button. Fabrik Live Live recorded audio sources sometimes have a lot of background noise. A very smooth discrete reverb on such a source will often be almost in-audible.
54 FABRIK R STUDIO T weak section In this section, all parameter adjustments are made. Parameters are organized in 4 different layers/pages. Level Color Modulation Time There are a couple of different ways of altering the parameter values: • Grab and move the icon (e.
55 FABRIK R STUDIO Time pag e Decay Range: 10 ms to 20 sec The Decay parameter determines the length of the Reverb Diffuse Field. The length is defined as the time it takes for the Diffuse Field to decay approximately 60dB. PreDelay Range: 0 to 100 ms A short Delay placed between the direct signal and the Reverb processing.
56 FABRIK R STUDIO The Color parameter controls are advanced controls handling the sonic spectrum of the Reverb diffuse field. T ry adding a bit of HiColor if you feel the level of reverb is correct, but still doesn’t stand out as intended. LoColor Low Color adjustment of the Decay .
57 Additional p arameters Byp ass Bypass function for the entire plug-in. In/Out In level Range : -24 to 0 dB Out level Range : -24 to +12 dB Sets the Input/Output levels for the algorithm. If the Internal overload indicators “O/L” are lit, you may need to readjust the In/Out levels.
PRESET HANDLING: FABRIK C & FABRIK R 58 Pr eset Handling The comprehensive file-based preset architecture makes storing presets a simple process. Presets are saved as discrete files on your hard drive. Once a preset is saved on the default location, it automatically appears in the “File” menu.

Studio Konnekt 48 comes with ResFilter , a plug-in that offers state-of-the-art filtering effects. Throw in resonance, 6, 12 and 24 dB slopes for even more stunning sounds. Its inter -communication-bus facilitates controlling and tweaking multiple plug-ins and parameters from one plug-in, cross-fading between two instances of the plug-ins etc.
Inst ance name As several instances of the ResFilter can be opened at the same time you may find it useful to name each instance. Place the cursor and type in your preferred name. Filter Cutoff Sets the cutoff frequency for the selected filter type (Lo-Cut or Hi-Cut).
Communication Using the communication section, it is possible to send and receive parameter movements between instances of the plug-in. In other words, a parameter on one instance of the plug-in can control an unlimited amount of parameters in other instances of the plug-in.
Example: Cross fade between two tracks. • Insert a ResFilter plug-in on each of two tracks A and B • Send the Cutoff parameter from the instance on track A to the one on track B • Select a cross.
64 TUNER Studio Konnekt 48 holds an excellent tuner with various modes for stringed instruments. The T uner page holds all relevant parameters as well as the tuner display . It is also possible to have T uner indication via the lightring on the Konnekt unit.
