Blend the Doo excitement with Mix¶
Use the Doo / Mix knob to control how much of the Doo high-frequency excitement is blended back into the dry signal. Setting Mix too high can introduce harshness; setting it too low means the Doo processing has little audible effect.
Before you start¶
- The PUDU stage must be enabled in the CHAIN widget for the relevant side (TX or RX). See Bypass PUDU from either chain.
- Open the Poodoo editor by double-clicking the PUDU stage in the CHAIN widget. The editor is titled "Aetherial Poodoo™ — TX" or "Aetherial Poodoo™ — RX" depending on which side you are working on.
- When the PUDU stage is bypassed, the entire applet tile dims to approximately 55 % opacity. This is a visual indicator only — your knob settings are preserved. Re-enable the stage to restore full opacity and active processing.
Steps¶
- Locate the Clarity group — the three knobs on the right side of the knob row, under the "Clarity" bracket label.
- Identify the third knob in the Clarity group, labelled Mix.
- Turn the Mix knob to blend the excited high-frequency signal with the dry signal. The value is displayed as a percentage directly on the knob.
- To type a precise value instead of turning the knob, click the knob's value text. A small text editor appears in place of the value display. Type the desired number and press Enter or click elsewhere to commit the value. The knob adjusts automatically and clamps to the valid range. Press Escape during editing to cancel and revert to the previous value.
Note: The inline editor accepts locale-aware number formats (e.g., "12,5" in comma-decimal locales) and strips non-numeric characters automatically if parsing fails.
- Release the knob or commit the typed value. The setting is saved automatically.
What each control does¶
| Control | Default | Valid range |
|---|---|---|
| Doo / Mix (TX) | 30 % | 0 % to 100 % |
| Doo / Mix (RX) | 30 % | 0 % to 100 % |
| AetherVoice logo | Animated branded logo that pulses with the wet-signal RMS. Displays 'AetherVoice™' wordmark. | PooDooLogo widget — 40 px minimum height. |
The knob maps linearly. At 0 % the Doo processor is mixed out entirely and has no effect on the signal. At 100 % only the processed signal passes through — no dry signal is blended in. The TX and RX sides hold fully independent Mix values.
Tips¶
- Start with the default of 30 % and increase gradually while listening to the effect on presence or intelligibility.
- The PooDoo logo pulses with the wet-signal RMS. A faster, stronger pulse as you raise Mix confirms the Doo stage is contributing to the output.
- If you have not yet positioned the Doo band on the right frequency, set Mix to 0 % temporarily while adjusting Doo / Tune, then bring Mix back up. See Centre Doo on the presence band for your mic (TX) or for RX intelligibility.
- To enter a specific percentage precisely, click the knob's value display to open the inline editor, type the number (e.g., "42" for 42 %), and press Enter. The knob snaps to that value.
