120 CHAPTER 8 Effects Menu - Edit View Keep the original signal near 100% and reduce the Wet Out to give the singer or instrument a "backup chorus". Reduce the blend to 30% or so to blend the original signal with the processed chorus. Use Adobe Audition's multitrack mixing capabilities to dynamically bring in and fade out the chorus. Add the chorus effect to a copy of the original audio and set this value to zero to create a chorus-only version of the original. In the mixer, insert both the original and the fully chorused versions. Use the volume envelope control to adjust the volume of the chorus over time, or just tweak the final amplitude of the background chorus with the track's volume settings. This technique can be handy for emphasizing certain portions of the singing with a backup chorus. Wet Out This setting determines how much of the processed signal is mixed into the final output. Generally, this value should be set lower whenever more voices are used. For example, with a Thickness setting of 3, a setting of 40% would be appropriate, but with Thickness at 10, 20% might be better. The best value will vary depending on the number of voices, and the desired stereo image field settings. Presets Adobe Audition provides several Chorus presets. More information on presets can be found in the "Looking at the Work Area" chapter. Highest Quality (but slow) Check this box to make sure the chorusing effect is the best quality. However, this will slow down processing time both when you preview the effect and when you actually apply it. Preview Press the Preview button to audition the current Chorus setting before you apply it to the waveform. The selection is looped until you press the Stop button. Since Adobe Audition's Previews are dynamic, this gives you the opportunity to make and hear processing adjustments as the selection is continuously played. Check the Bypass box to hear the waveform without any applied chorusing effects for a quick "before and after" comparison. Delay Delay can be used to create single echoes, as well as a number of other effects. Delays of 35 milliseconds or more will be perceived as discrete echoes, while those falling within the 15-34 millisecond range can be used to create a simple chorus or flanging effect. (These effects won't be as effective as the actual chorus or flanging effects within Adobe Audition's Effects menu, as the delay settings will be fixed and won't change over time.) Delay dialog
