Soft: Activating this option depends upon your own perception of sound. If you would
like to produce a more lurid sound (such as grunge) you should deactivate the "soft"
option. This option does, however, reduce eventual distortion.
High Quality: This option improves the results of the effects while demanding more of
your computer’s performance. As with the "soft" option, your own notion of sound
should come into play when choosing this option.
SoundCloner
SoundCloner 2 analyzes the sound characteristics of songs and transfers them to
other recordings. Allowing you to apply the sound of a 60s soul recording to a
modern pop song for example. You can also use SoundCloner to analyze compilations
of different songs and compare their sound.
SoundCloner features an FFT Filter (1024 - band equalizer) and a compressor. The
filter curve and compression properties are automatically calculated and presented as
a combination of the cloned sound and output sound.
As well as "Clone" presets the SoundCloner presets menu contains a few useful filter
settings that provide a typical sound for a range of eras (70s, 80s, 90s etc.).
Filter curves can also be edited manually, SoundCloner can therefore also be used as a
filter for creating strange effects. It can also prove more effective than the DeNoiser at
removing noise in certain circumstances, e.g. for removing whistling in the
background.
Using the SoundCloner
1. Load a song with a sound you really like.
2. Now change to "Object" on the effect page and click on the cog wheel icon
next to the audio object to activate the object effects.
3. Open SoundCloner 2 and click on "Get Sound". The sound characteristics are
now calculated. After that, the sound will be available as SOUND CLONE
preset and can be stored permanently for later use by clicking "Save".
4. Activate SoundCloner on the object you want to apply sound to and load the
SOUNDCLONE preset. SoundCloner detects the sound and dynamic
properties of the target object and calculates the filter curve and/or the
dynamic setting, which resulted when the audio characteristics of
SOUNDCLONE and the edited object were combined.
5. The filter curve and the dynamics editing of SoundCloner compare the audio
characteristics of the target object to those of the analyzed object. Using the
"Strength" slider under the filter graphic you can regulate the intensity of the
frequency adjustment.
