3. SCRATCHES RATE

Sets the number of scratches to be emulated on the disc. A low value dispatches fewer
clicks and pops (per second), and a high value more.

4. DUCKING

Controls how much the audio signal should be lowered during each scratch. A minimum
value causes no ducking, and the maximum value causes a lot of ducking to the audio
signal.

5. POWER TYPE

A switch that swaps between 50 Hz and 60 Hz hum.

6. GENERATORS

Determines when generated audio (noise, hum, scratches) should be rendered.

* If the host doesn’t contain a playhead/timeline, this setting will be equal to ALWAYS

7. CABLE QUALITY

Emulates the quality of the audio cable between the riaa and external amplifier. A low value
makes the quality very low, and the maximum value simulates a “perfect” cable.

8. LEVELS

Use these controls to set the mix between the different elements:
