Vitalizer
The Vitalizer
enables the justification of the audio material in the stereo
panorama to be adjusted. If stereo recordings sound unfocused and
undifferentiated, an extension of the stereo base-width often provides
increased transparency.
Use the maximize function to move the echo and improve the stereo picture,
for example, into the foreground.
Volume controller: Adjusts the volume of every single channel to adjust the
complete panorama. The reduction of left and right levels is displayed under
the control buttons in dB.
Pan-direction: Use this controller to move the sound source from the middle
into stereo panorama. The signals at the outer edges of the sound picture
remain unchanged.
Multiband: This option switches from "Stereo FX" to "Multiband" mode. Stereo
editing only applies to the middle frequency; the bass and highs remain
unchanged.
Bandwidth/maximize sensor field: Adjusts the base width between mono
(extreme left), unchanged base width (normal stereo), and maximum base
width (wide, extreme right). Raising the base width (values over 100) diminishes
mono compatibility. Recordings edited this way may sound slightly hollow
when listened to in mono.
Maximize strengthens the spatial component of the recording, which also
increases the stereo transparency without influencing the mono compatibility.
Stereo meter (correlation gauge): This provides a graphical display of the
phase relation of the audio signal. Use this to review the orientation of the
signal in the stereo balance and the effect of the stereo enhancer. To maintain
mono-compatibility, the "cloud" shown should always be higher than it is wide.
