AVP Factory Presets
The AVP comes pre-programmed with 35 factory presets. These presets
were designed by studio professionals to provided quick setups for
common track enhancements or problems, and are based around music
genres and/or the type of sound source used in their creation.
Keep in mind that these presets are designed as general starting points.
Parameters such as compression threshold, de-esser threshold and high
pass frequency, and EQ settings will typically need to be tweaked for
the specifics of any particular track. (And, as always with compression,
beware that over-compression can tend to make a sound smaller
instead of bigger.)
Auto-Tune has not been enabled in any of the factory presets. To add
Auto-Tune to a preset, select and/or modify a scale, set the appropriate
Speed setting for the performance, turn the Auto-Tune module on and
resave the preset.
Presets which use Double Tracking default to Stereo Double Track mode
and refer to Auto-Tune’s Scale and Speed settings. In most cases you will
have to adjust these settings as appropriate for your performance.
In presets that use Mic Modeler, the Source Mic setting defaults to Bypass.
You should set the source mic to the mic (or mic type) that the track was
recorded with and then resave the preset.
As you scroll through the presets, the various modules’ “on” buttons will
light to indicate which modules are active in each preset. Use the “on”
buttons to quickly evaluate each module’s effect, especially EQ, which
may need to be customized for your particular mix.
Also, keep in mind that while each preset was created with a particular
use in mind, using a preset for another purpose will rarely bring a visit
from the audio engineering police. Go ahead and experiment. In the end,
creating your own unique sounds is the name of the game. Have fun!
