Pitch Correction

Pitch correction is about identifying the pitch, determining which one is correct, and processing the track with the correction included. Being able to correct a pitch in the studio is a fairly new technological advancement. From the beginning of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), there have been many adjustments to former techniques. Pitch correction adjusts the…

Prismizer

Prismizer is an audio effect that combines the words prism and harmonizer to form its name. The prismizer’s polyharmonic pitch offers saturation similar to the dispersion of light to a prism. The prismizer is capable of combining pitch and frequency characteristics from multiple sources, and it is typically focused to the processing of the human…

Auto-Tune

People have used the term Auto-Tune as a common description or a generic notion that describes audible pitch correction in music. This effect uses a patented device to measure and modify pitch in both vocal and instrumental music recording, as well as in live performances. Auto-Tune: Its Purpose  The Auto-Tune corrects off-key inaccuracies. It perfects…

Direct Note Access (DNA)

Melodyne’s DNA Direct Note Access is the technology that allows one to identify and edit individual notes in the polyphonic material. This system offers unique access to the pitch, duration, timing, and other parameters of notes in the monophonic material. Direct Note Access: How It Works To begin with, DNA Direct Note Access can modify…

Multi-Effect Signal Processors

Multi-effect signal processors are devices that offer a wide variety of audio effects in one unit. They can modify the pitch of an incoming audio signal, natural reverb effects, time compression and expansion, flanging, delay, and time-reversal and repeat capabilities. The design of most signal processing devices aims at performing more than one function without…

Amplitude Panning

Amplitude panning is a system that transforms both the phase and amplitude differences of a signal recorded by stereophonic reception systems into amplitude differences reproduced by two speakers. These stereophonic reception systems are usually microphone stereo pairs or human ears. This is the basis of several multi-loudspeaker configurations. To start, this system derives from stereophony;…

Soundproofing

Soundproofing, also known as sound blocking, refers to insulated materials that prevent the passage of sound. The materials employed to soundproof tend to be heavy, solid, dense, and thick. This is a very useful solution when dealing with unwanted noise. Cinemas, TV, and radio stations, as well theaters, frequently have sound blocking systems within their…

Bass Traps

Bass traps are devices that improve the response of the low frequency in a room. Sound engineers and music producers often employ them to lessen this low-frequency resonance. They also use them in large studios and small spaces to flatten the low-frequency response. In addition, they take advantage of them to decrease modal ringing. Bass…

Acoustic Boards

Acoustic boards are objects made of sound-absorbing materials inserted between two porous outer walls. They are an example of soundproofing. Their operation is simple: when the sound passes through the acoustic board its intensity decreases. In this case, the production of heat energy balances the loss of sound energy. Acoustic Boards: Uses Libraries, rooms, halls,…

Reflection Filters

Reflection filters, also known as pop shield or pop screen filters, are devices that offer effective absorption of sounds. Reflection filters catch and absorb sounds that they receive directly from the vocalist. These filters help reduce the amount of energy that enters a room, as well as that which bounces around the room and gets…
