USING SOUNDBOOTH CS4 51 Effects Advanced settings Mode Specifies the type of hardware emulation, determining equalization and distortion characteristics. Tape and Tube reflect the sonic character of vintage delay units, while Analog reflects later electronic delay lines. Dry Out Determines the level of original, unprocessed audio. Wet Out Determines the level of delayed, processed audio. Delay Specifies the delay length in milliseconds. Feedback Creates repeating echoes by resending delayed audio through the delay line. For example, a setting of 20% sends delayed audio at one-fifth of its original volume, creating echoes that gently fade away. A setting of 200% sends delayed audio at double its original volume, creating echoes that quickly grow in intensity. Note: When experimenting with extremely high Feedback settings, turn down your system volume. Trash Increases distortion and boosts low frequencies, adding warmth. Spread Determines the stereo width of the delayed signal. See also "Applying effects" on page 49 Chorus/Flanger effect The Chorus/Flanger effect combines two popular delay-based effects. The Chorus option simulates several voices or instruments played at once by adding multiple short delays with a small amount of feedback. The result is lush, rich sound. Use this effect to enhance vocal tracks or add stereo spaciousness to mono audio. The Flanger option creates a psychedelic, phase-shifted sound by mixing a varying, short delay with the original signal. This effect was originally created by sending an identical audio signal to two reel-to-reel tape recorders, and periodically pressing the flange of one reel to slow it down. Standard settings Amount Controls the intensity of the effect. Advanced settings Chorus Simulates several voices or instruments playing at once. Flanger Simulates the delayed, phase-shifted sound originally heard in psychedelic music. Speed Controls the rate at which the delay time cycles from zero to the maximum setting. Width Specifies the maximum amount of delay. Intensity Controls the ratio of original to processed audio. Transience Emphasizes transients, giving them a sharper, more distinct sound.
