An example
As an example, consider this before-and-after graphic representation of
the pitch of a vocal phrase that contains both vibrato and expressive
gestures.
In the original performance, we can see that although the final note
should be centered around D, the vocalist allowed the tail of the note to
fall nearly three semitones flat. The “after” plot is the result of passing
this phrase through the AVP set to a D Major Scale (with C# and B set to
”Blank”) and a Speed setting of 10. That Speed causes the pitch center to
be moved to D, while still retaining the vibrato and expressive gestures.
(Setting C# and B to ”Blank” is necessary to keep the AVP from trying to
correct the seriously flat tail of the last note to those pitches. See Chapter
4 for more details.)
Antares Microphone Modeling
If you’ve spent any time lately flipping through the pages of pro audio
magazines, you have almost certainly noticed the intense focus on micro-
phones. From the proliferation of exotic new mics to the almost cult-like
following of certain historical classics, never has the choice been greater.
But amassing a substantial collection of high-end mics is financially pro-
hibitive for all but the most well-heeled studios.
Now, using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool™ technology, we’ve
created digital models of a variety of microphones. Simply tell the AVP
what type of microphone you are actually using and what type of micro-
phone you’d like it to sound like. It’s as simple as that.
