Chapter 12: SoundReplacer 115
By always putting replacement audio files in this
special folder, you can freely exchange Sound-
Replacer settings—and the audio files associated
with them—with other users.
SoundReplacer Demo Session
SoundReplacer includes a Demo session that il-
lustrates useful applications of this plug-in.
Before you start:
1 Open the Demo session.
2 Choose SoundReplacer from the AudioSuite
menu.
3 Position SoundReplacer on the bottom-left
hand corner of the screen, so that you can
clearly see the top audio track, as well as the
Memory Locations window.
4 Begin playback of the Demo session. A voice-
over will guide you through the basic use of
SoundReplacer.
Example 1
This example illustrates basic sound replace-
ment on a kick drum track.
In the Demo session:
1 Click memory Location #5, Kick Replace 1. A
kick drum source track is selected and centered
on screen.
2 Choose Kick Double Trigger Zone from the Li-
brarian menu.
3 Click Update.
4 Use SoundReplacer’s Zoomer to zoom out to
see several of the kick drum hits.
5 Click Preview to hear the replacement sound
triggered with the source kick track.
6 Adjust the wet/dry mix with the Mix slider.
Turning off the Mix button allows you to elimi-
nate the dry sound entirely from the wet/dry
mix.
7 Click Process to write the replacement file to
disk on the same track.
– or –
Write the replacement file to a different track by
choosing a destination from the Destination
Track pop-up menu. An empty audio track has
been provided in the Demo session for this pur-
pose.
Example 2
This example demonstrates the use of multiple
trigger zones using the same replacement
sound. This allows a phase-coherent sound re-
placement without unwanted results such as
double-attack flams, comb filter-like effects, or
mistriggered samples.
Optimum results are achieved by carefully ad-
justing the two threshold zones so that softer
kick drum hits (the yellow zone) and louder hits
(the red zone) trigger at exactly the right points.
Loading a replacement sound into the yellow
amplitude zone automatically loads it into the
red and blue amplitude zones as well. This al-
lows more subtle adjustment and control of trig-
gering.
The example also illustrates why it is useful to
turn off the Peak Align option in cases where the
signal peak in a sound occurs after the initial at-
tack.
Do not create subfolders within Sound-
Replacer’s Audio Files folder. Files located
