The Effects Window
The Effects window provides access to Nicecast's full range of Audio effects, in what we call the Patch area. The controls are described below. For information on plugins in general, see the Plugins window page. For info on specific plugins, see the Effects Appendix.
Navigator - Controls location of the focus on the patch area.
Levels - Show the audio levels of audio coming in (In Peak and In RMS) or out (Out Peak and Out RMS). Disable to save CPU.
Dry/Wet Slider - This slider controls how much the plugins affect the audio mix being broadcast. Set all the way to Dry, only the original audio source (before effects are added) is used. As it moves towards Wet, the effects are applied more fully.
Patch Area - The 10x10 grid for adding DSP effects. Simply click a grid space and select an item from the pop-up to insert the effect. Drag and drop to re-arrange. The grid is read left to right and top to bottom.
Plugins - Each plugin has its own editor window, with settings specific to that plugin. For more information, see the Effects Appendix.
Saving and Opening Patches - Nicecast supports patches, which are groups of DSP plugins and settings. When you have a set of filters which you'd like to apply to other presets, choose "Export Patch" from the Control menu. To load a saved patch file, choose "Import Patch" from the Control menu.
