ADOBE AUDITION 117 User Guide Chorus dialog Adobe Audition uses a direct-simulation method of achieving the chorus effect, which means that each voice (or layer) is made to sound distinct from the original by slightly varying the timing, intonation, and vibrato. You can use the Feedback setting to add extra detail to the result. You'll get better results if you convert mono files to stereo before applying a Chorus effect. Chorus Characteristics These are the characteristics used for each voice (layer) in the chorus. While the properties below apply to each voice, they represent ranges of random values, so each voice will be unique in each of these characteristics. Thickness Thickness determines the number of voices that are simulated in the chorus effect. Enter the number of desired voices in this field. The final result may end up with an additional voice if the Dry Out setting is used (which mixes the original sample in with the chorused result). Note: The more voices you specify, the longer the effect will take to compute - but the result will have extra richness and fullness. Max Delay An important component of chorusing is the introduction of short delays (often in the 15-35 millisecond range) that vary in duration over time. Use this setting to limit the maximum amount of delay that will ever occur. • If the setting is very small, all the voices will start merging into the original, and an unnatural flanging effect may be noticed. • If it is set high, everything will start to sound "warbly", rather like a tape that is being eaten by a cassette deck.
