What Dugan Speech does
The plugin is a software version of the Dugan Automatic Mixing Controllers developed by Dan Dugan, and it controls microphone gain in real time. When one participant speaks, the gain of the other microphones is reduced, and when several people speak, the gain is shared across the channels. Smooth level changes are used instead of abrupt gating, and channel override prioritizes specific microphones, such as the host’s.
Two modes are offered: Automix normal and Off, which leaves inputs at unity gain. Channel sensitivities can be adjusted while mixing automatically, and Recall Safe mode excludes the plugin’s settings from snapshots, so they are not changed when a snapshot is recalled. A gain bargraph and input level metering show how each channel is being treated.
Key features
- Single and multiple speakers. Gain of other microphones is reduced when only one person speaks, and shared across channels when several people speak at once.
- Channel override. Specific microphones, such as the host’s, can be prioritized so they are not reduced by the automatic mixing.
- Adjustable sensitivities. Each channel’s sensitivity can be adjusted while the automatic mixing is running.
- Modes. Automix normal mode applies the automatic gain control, and Off mode keeps inputs at unity gain.
- Recall Safe. Recall Safe mode excludes the plugin’s settings from snapshots so that recalling a snapshot does not change them. Crack, keygen and serial variants of the release are searched for under this name too.
- Metering. A gain bargraph and input level metering display the gain applied to each channel.
