Note:
Fine tunes the semitone grid.
Prevents formants in the audio clip from being affected. For example, use this control when increasing the pitch of a high voice
to prevent it from sounding cartoon like.
Reverb (Windows only)
The Reverb effect adds ambience and warmth to an audio clip by adding the reverberation the sounds might have had recorded in a “live” room.
Click the triangle beside the Custom Setup button to view the following options:
Specifies the time between the signal and the reverberation. This setting correlates to the distance a sound travels to the reflecting
walls and back to the listener in a live setting.
Use the graphical controls in the Custom Setup view, or adjust the Individual Parameters values.
Specifies the percentage in which the sound is absorbed.
Specifies the size of the room as a percentage.
Specifies the density of the reverb “tail.” The Size value determines the range in which you can set Density.
Specifies the amount of dampening for low frequencies (in decibels). Dampening lower frequencies prevents the reverb from rumbling
or sounding muddy.
Specifies the amount of dampening of high frequencies (in decibels). Low settings make the reverb sound softer.
Controls the amount of reverb.
Swap Channels
The Swap Channels effect switches the placement of the left and right channel information.
Treble
The Treble effects lets you increase or decrease higher frequencies (4000 Hz and above). The Boost control specifies the amount, measured in
decibels, to increase or decrease. Use this to compensate, for example, when low instruments overpower high instruments in a soundtrack.
Volume
Use the Volume effect in place of the Fixed Volume effect if you want to render Volume before other Standard effects. The Volume effect creates
an envelope for a clip so that you can increase the audio level without clipping. Clipping occurs when the signal exceeds the dynamic range that’s
acceptable for your hardware, often resulting in distorted audio. Positive values indicate an increase in volume; negative values indicate a
decrease in volume. The Volume effect is available for clips only.
You can make most volume changes by using the fixed Volume effect. You can apply this additional Volume effect if other effects (such as
Reverb or Bass) overly increase or decrease clip volume. You can also fade the volume of one clip out while fading the volume of the next up by
dragging one of the Crossfade audio transitions from the Effects view of the Task panel to the cut point between the clips.
