  • Mozzaik Audio Mozzaik MonitorMozzaik Monitor adds noise of a very low level to the signal that goes to the DA converter. Delta-sigma converters can produce idle tones and limit cycles when the signal is very quiet or constant. A small amount of noise at the input breaks these patterns up. How much it helps depends on the converter. The signal itself is not changed: the plugin only adds the noise. Mozzaik Monitor goes last on the monitoring path. For export it is turned Off, or left On in front of the dither if you think that the noise will help the converter of the listener. The noise can help an AD converter in the same way: send the output of Mozzaik Monitor through a DA converter and mix it with the signal in the analog domain, before the conversion. Features: - Off/On with a fade of 10 ms, without a click. In the Off position the signal passes unchanged. - Amount from -100 dB to -40 dB, -80 dB by default. - Shaping between 0 and 20 kHz: Flat (white noise), Medium (rises 6 dB per octave) or High (rises 12 dB per octave), so most of the noise is at the top of the band, where hearing is less sensitive. - Gaussian noise, not correlated between the channels. - Sample rates from 44.1 to 384 kHz, with the same level of the noise between 0 and 20 kHz at every sample rate. - From 88.2 kHz up the noise falls above 20 kHz with 12 dB per octave, so it does not fill the ultrasonic range. - Low processor load.
