The IK Multimedia Multi-Band De-Esser Software Downloadis a frequency dependent compressor designed to remove excessive sibilance from vocal tracks. The software can be operated in either 2-band or 3-band mode with control over the frequency range being processed.

Being able to narrowly specify the frequency range of compression is helpful for removing sibilance because it may occur only within a limited range and the rest of the frequency response should not be processed. Additional applications beyond vocals could include reducing the harshness or brightness of hi-hats or crash cymbals without affecting the rest of the high frequencies in the mix.

The user interface offers a virtual slider for controlling the amount of processing, a slider for setting the release time, two sliders for specifying the frequency range, buttons for selecting the processing mode, and drop-down menus for selecting the number of bands and the slope. A bypass switch allows you to A/B the effect of the processing on the signal and a reset switch can be used to restore the original settings.

The plug-in is fully compatible with native 32- and 64-bit applications on both Mac OS X (Universal Binary) and Windows (XP/Vista/7/8) computers. It supports VST, RTAS, AAX, and Audio Units plug-in formats. It can also be used with the T-RackS CS standalone application (sold separately).

Q: 1. There is not on/off button on this device. Does unplugging all the connections effectively turn it "off" and conserve battery?

A: The battery life of the IK Multimedia iRig Stream Solo Ultracompact 3x1 TRRS Audio Interface for Smartphones and Tablets is dependent on its active use and device connections and should not be drained while idle or disconnected.

Q: 2. I have iphone se. I want to connect Galaxy GT-V wireless and connect the headphone jack from irig pre to mixer. Will this work and what xlr to 1/8 adapter will I need for the iring pre? Thank you

A: This could work. Use this cable. A headphone into a LINE input may a bit "hot".

Q: 3. I will the stream work for this situation I'm in. xlr mic TC-Helicon PerformV 2i2 Focusrite IRIg stream iOS(TikTok, livestream singing)?

A: There are better and simpler options for your setup. After coming out of the TC-Helicon Perform-V, instead of going into the Focusrite 2i2 and then into the iRig Stream (which has an RCA input for line level signal), a better option would be to go from the XLR output of the Perform-V to the XLR mic input of the iRig Pre HD (B&H # IKIRIGPREHD). The Perform-V has a mic level output and the Pre HD has a dedicated mic input and mic preamp. The Pre HD is an interface that will connect to your iOS device in the same manner as the Stream. It's not necessary to use two interfaces, so the 2i2 is not needed in the signal chain and all you will need is the mic, Performer-V, and Pre HD. You would also be able to connect the mic directly to the XLR input of the Pre HD if you do not want to use the Perform-V.

Q: 4. Is the sound quality good with DSLRs ? I'd like to use this with running and gunning on-the-go with a shotgun mic and not have to sync audio in post. Thanks, Ef

A: The audio recorded by virtually any DSLR's built-in microphone is mediocre at best. The iRig Pre Microphone Interface is not designed to connect to cameras as it is intended for use with iOS devices like the iPhone or iPad. Consider a Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # SHVP83 which requires no adapters. It is a plug and play mic. An XLR shotgun powered by a battery will offer even better performance but will require a cable and an adapter. Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # RONTG2K2 (B&H Kit)

Q: 9. I have a Galaxy Samsung 6. I have a Galaxy Samsung 6 phone Will this cable work?

A: No, the 30-pin connection is meant for older iOS devices like the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, or iPad 2. The Samsung Galaxy S6 would use a Micro USB connection. To connect a digital iRig to a device with this connection you would need a Micro-USB to Micro-USB (OTG) cable or a Micro-USB to Mini-DIN connection. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/?A=micro-usb-to-mini-din-cable https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/?A=micro-usb-otg-to-micro-usb-cable

Q: 10. Will this allow me to use an external XLR mic in Zoom? - or - Send a mic level feed to Zoom from a mix board.

A: The iRig Stream is an audio interface that allows you to connect the audio output from a mixer, keyboard, drum machine, or other line level audio to a Mac or Windows computer or to an iOS or Android mobile device. You can connect your microphone to a mixer and then connect the output from the mixer to the RCA input on the iRig Stream. The iRig Stream comes with three cables (USB Type-A, USB Type-C, and Lightning) to enable connection from the iRig's mini-DIN output to your computer or mobile device. It can be used for Zoom meetings.
