Yes it should be.

maybe I am doing something wrong..... maybe someone could try R17 and confirm this DSP effect works

Did you plot the frequency of the file before and after? the change can be quite subtle.

I use Sox command line deemph as a baseline. I am not writing here in this thread to suggest the DMC De-Emphasis curve is different or worse than Sox. I am writing here to suggest that the De-Emphasis DSP effect does not actually run, even though it appears to do so.


I have tried converting to/from WAV/FLAC and it makes no difference.

You have R17 Reference? 64 bit windows?

Yes - 64bit Windows 10

Do you have any security software?

Re: R17 - is the De-Emphasis DSP effect working

@Spoon No, in fact I have Windows Defender disabled via registry hack.

For comparison, the Volume Normalize DSP works, but De-Emphasis does not.

I've been a customer of DBPA/DMC for a long time, this is the first time I've tried a DSP and it flat out does nothing. I realize De-Emphasis is new for R17....
