Chapter 25: X-Form
The X-Form AudioSuite plug-in that is based on
the Radius
®
algorithm from iZotope. X-Form
provides the high quality time compression and
expansion for music production, sound design,
and audio loop applications. Use X-Form to ma-
nipulate audio loops for tempo matching or to
change vocal tracks for formant correct pitch
shifting. The X-Form plug-in is useful in audio
post-production for adjusting audio to specific
time or SMPTE durations for synchronization
purposes. X-Form is also ideal for post-produc-
tion pull up and pull down conversions.
X-Form Displays and Controls
Overview
The interface for X-Form is organized in four
sections: Audio, Time, Transient, and Pitch.
Audio Use the controls in the Audio section to
select the most appropriate time compression
and expansion algorithm for the type of material
you want to process and to attenuate the gain of
the processed audio to avoid clipping.
Time Use the controls in the Time section to
specify the amount of time compression or ex-
pansion you want to apply.
Transient Use the controls in the Transient sec-
tion to adjust the transient detection parameters
for high quality time compression or expans-
sion.
Pitch Use the controls in the Pitch section to ap-
ply pitch shifting. Pitch shifting can be formant
correct with either the Polyphonic or Mono-
phonic algorithm.
X-Form Audio Section Controls
The Audio section of X-Form provides controls
for specifying the type of audio you want to pro-
cess and gain attenuation of the processed signal
to avoid clipping.
Normalizing a selection before using
X-Form may produce better results.
