HOW TO USE (PRODUCER SECRETS):
================================================================================
1. VOCAL CHAIN INSERT #1 (Very First Slot):
   Always insert Capter XanClean as the VERY FIRST effect on your vocal track
   BEFORE any compressor, saturation, or auto-tune.
   Why? Because cleaning background room noise and harsh "S" sounds first prevents
   later compressors and saturators from amplifying the dirt!

2. S-Ş DE-ESSING:
   - Set "FOCUS FREQ" to around 6.5 kHz - 7.5 kHz.
   - Click "LISTEN SIB" to solo the harsh frequencies being removed.
   - Lower "DE-ESS THRESH" until you hear the sharp "S" and "T" sounds isolated.
   - Switch "LISTEN SIB" back to normal.
   - Result: Silky, expensive billboard vocals with zero lisping!

3. DIPSES / ROOM HISS ELIMINATION:
   - Adjust "DIPSES THRESH" until the green "DIPSES SILENCED" badge lights up
     whenever the singer stops singing.
   - Set "NOISE REDUCE" to -24 dB or -30 dB.
   - When the singer sings, the gate opens instantly with zero clipping.
     When they stop, room hiss vanishes into pure black analog silence.
