Usage Tips
•
DUO Evo is available in mono and stereo
versions and, depending on the capabilities
of your host program, a mono -> stereo
version (which in most cases is the
preferred routing). In the case of the stereo
version, DUO Evo processes only the left
channel. DUO Evo is dramatically more
eective with the original and doubled
parts panned apart, so if at all possible,
try always to use it with stereo output.
•
For best performance, DUO Evo requires a
clean, pitched monophonic signal. If DUO
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 apply Vocal Timbre
and Timing variations only.
•
Experiment with various Pitch and Timing
settings. Dierent combinations can result
in distinctly dierent stylistic eects.
•
DUO Evo’s Vibrato function can be used
by itself to modify the vibrato depth on a
recorded track. If you have a track with too
deep a vibrato (or too shallow, although
that’s a much rarer problem), assign DUO
Evo to the track and set the mixer so that
only the doubled track is heard. Set Vocal
Timbre to 0 and Pitch and Timing to their
minimum values. While listening to the
track, adjust the Vibrato slider to reduce
or expand the vibrato depth as desired.
Notice that while you are modifying the
vibrato depth, the expressive contour of
the singer’s original vibrato is retained.
