Audio Clean-up:
Removing noise and
distortion Audio Clean-up allows you to process prerecorded as well as real-time audio, in order to remove noise,
click sounds and other artifacts. For example, when recording music from old vinyl records, “click” and
“pop” sounds can be removed with the Clean-up feature. The Click Meter informs you whenever the noise
clean-up feature is activated during recording and also how many clicks are removed.
Time Scaling: Varying
the speed of playback Karaoke fans and musicians may sometimes wish to slow a song down (or speed it up) to catch the lyrics
or play along with the music. However, varying the speed usually also varies the pitch of the song. With
the Time Scaling feature, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 users can maintain the pitch of a song while varying the
playback speed.
