Reset
Clicking the Reset button cancels any custom
contour you have programmed, but retains
any global Stretch and Width settings set by
the Model Throat Length and Width controls.
To reset those controls,Command (Mac)/
Control (PC)/Option (Pro Tools) click them to
set them to their default values.
OUTPUT
This control lets you adjust the output level
of the modeled vocal over a range of +/- 24
dB. As you will discover, some models result in
substantial level changes. This control is used
to bring them back up or down to the desired
level.
Command (Mac)/Control (PC)/Option (Pro
Tools) click the control to reset it to its default
value of 0 dB
Level Matching
As mentioned above, some model settings
result in substantial level changes. The Level
Matching function attempts to compensate
for level dierences between the original and
processed versions by automatically applying
gain adjustments to the modeled version.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This
function is provided for ease of A/B
comparisons with the original vocal.
It inserts some processing into the modeled
vocal path that can have a very small but
nonetheless real eect on the overall audio
quality. Once you have a model you like, turn
the Level Matching function O and use the
Output Gain to adjust the proper level.
Click the Level Matching button to toggle
its state. The button will display On or O as
appropriate.
Bypass
This control is used to (you guessed it) bypass
the plug-in. It has been designed to provide
artifact-free bypass switching so that you can
use it to seamlessly enable THROAT Evo only
where desired on a track.
Click the Bypass button to toggle its state. The
button will display On or O as appropriate.
Keep in mind that “On” means that the Bypass
function is on, i.e., the plug-in is bypassed.
Usage Tips
•
THROAT Evo is a monophonic processor.
•
For best modeling performance, THROAT
Evo needs to be able to detect the pitch
of the original performance. To do that,
THROAT Evo requires a clean, pitched,
monophonic signal. If THROAT Evo can
not reliably detect the pitch of the input,
either because of a noisy or eected
signal or because the input is not a single
monophonic voice, it will not fail, but
will fall back to an alternative (but not
quite as accurate) modeling method.
•
If you are going to be using pitch shift, set
your pitch shift range first and then adjust
the modeling controls to create the desired
vocal timbre.
•
As has been mentioned several times
already, for natural, “realistic” results,
always start with relatively small
adjustments to the various throat modeling
controls, whether the Length and Width
sliders, or the Graphic Display control points.
