InterMic

InterMic user guide

Every control, in the order the panel shows them. InterMic opens fully transparent: both removal amounts at 0% and the filters at the ends of their range, so nothing is processed until you ask.

The InterMic panel

Input and gain

−24 to +24 dB, default 0 dB

The input meter shows what arrives, and answers whether your mic gain is right. GAIN sets the level going in, before anything else.

De-bleed

0 to 100%, default 0%

Removes the music a vocal mic picks up off the stage, causally, without gating the singer. It works between the harmonics of the voice and closes between lines.

De-feedback

0 to 100%, default 0%

Finds acoustic feedback and notches it before it becomes a howl, with up to four notches at once. A notch eases out once its ring dies, but keeps watching for ten seconds, so a returning howl is caught quickly.

Add air

Amount 0 to 100% · Freq 50 to 130% of the LP corner

Puts back the air around a voice. The fader sets how much; FREQ, the knob below it, sets where it starts, and the panel prints the frequency it lands on.

Ride

Range 0 dB (off) to 12 dB

A gain rider that keeps the vocal at its level. RANGE sets how far it may move, and it ducks further than it boosts. The meter above shows how hard it is working.

Output and beef

Beef 0 to 100%, with L and H

The output meter shows what leaves. BEEF adds saturation: L on the body of the voice, H on its top end.

HP and LP

HP 20 Hz to 1 kHz · LP 1 to 20 kHz

A high-pass and a low-pass filter, set by the two handles along the bottom. Each has its own on and off switch.
