Output Volume
This control applies gain or
attenuation to the output
signal. Since MUTATOR
Evo’s various functions
can substantially increase
or decrease the level of
the input, you can use this
control, in combination with
the output level meter, to
ensure that your output is at
an appropriate level without
clipping.
To adjust output volume,
click on and move the fader
to the desired position. The
numeric display will indicate
in dBs the exact amount of
gain or attenuation applied.
Command (Mac)/Control
(PC)/Option (Pro Tools)
clicking anywhere in the
fader track will reset the
control to its default value
of 0dB.
Output Level Meter
Use this meter in
combination with the
output level control to
set the optimum output
level. Ideally, the meter
should peak in the upper
area of its range without
repeatedly pegging at 0 dB.
Bypass
The Bypass control lets
you completely bypass the
plug-in. When the Bypass
button is blue, the plug-in is
processing normally. When
it is red, it is bypassed. Click
the button to toggle its
state.
Audio Display
The Audio Display gives you a visual indication
of the original and processed versions of your
audio (and is just kind of cool to watch). The
blue plot is the waveform of the original audio,
The red plot is the processed audio. For hours
of fun, try changing the various controls while
watching their eect on the red plot.
Usage Tips
The eects of the various MUTATOR Evo
functions are so dependent on the nature of
each individual voice, it’s hard to give useful
general guidelines. If there was ever a plug-in
that rewarded just messing around, this is it.
With that caveat:
•
If you’re looking to create the voice of a
demon, try shifting pretty much any voice
down 8-12 semitones (depending on how
low the voice is to begin with), set Throat
Length to 1.10, and set Mutation to “2”. Then
tweak as desired.
•
To turn a woman into a child, shift the voice up
5 semitones, set Throat Length to 1.30, and set
Throat Width to 0.60. Then tweak as desired.
•
The eect of Alienization Dialect settings are
entirely dependent on the specific speech it’s
applied to. However, for an interesting musical
eect, use a long cycle period and try matching
the period to the tempo of your song.
