    Tc electronic ditto looper manual Continue In the Effects and Guitar Pedals section Description TC ELECTRONIC DITTO LOOPER: Most recently, in early 2013, the well-known company TC Electronic introduced a brand new and unique product, the TC ELECTRONIC DITTO LOOPER effects pedal. The effect pedal is presented in the new series of effects pedals Ditto Looper. The effect pedal itself is extremely simple, it is packed in a perfectly compact, metal body and is equipped with one button and one controller. TC Electronic is really proud of this compact device, which was developed on the principle of guitarists for guitarists, which means that the pedal device combines the best and most important for practicing musicians. The pedal is incredibly easy to use, has a great sound quality and a basic set of features and properties that will be appreciated by professional musicians. Also, the DITTO LOOPER effects pedal combines in its design and remarkable, modern design. The effect pedal allows you to superimpose recordings of a musical instrument on each other, and almost unlimited number of times. The effect pedal is up to five minutes. The functional features of the DITTO LOOPER looper pedal design are based on a completely new, modern approach to the creation process that puts the Ditto Looper at a completely new level compared to similar effects pedal models. The functionality of this device is quite wide, so the engineers of the manufacturer's company created this compact looper specifically for a wide scope The pedal can be used by guitarists, vocalists, drummers and other musicians who use the Loop effect in their work.

  • The End of the Loudness War?
    The End Of The Loudness War? By Hugh Robjohns As the nails are being hammered firmly into the coffin of competitive loudness processing, we consider the implications for those who make, mix and master music. In a surprising announcement made at last Autumn's AES convention in New York, the well-known American mastering engineer Bob Katz declared in a press release that "The loudness wars are over.” That's quite a provocative statement — but while the reality is probably not quite as straightforward as Katz would have us believe (especially outside the USA), there are good grounds to think he may be proved right over the next few years. In essence, the idea is that if all music is played back at the same perceived volume, there's no longer an incentive for mix or mastering engineers to compete in these 'loudness wars'. Katz's declaration of victory is rooted in the recent adoption by the audio and broadcast industries of a new standard measure of loudness and, more recently still, the inclusion of automatic loudness-normalisation facilities in both broadcast and consumer playback systems. In this article, I'll explain what the new standards entail, and explore what the practical implications of all this will be for the way artists, mixing and mastering engineers — from bedroom producers publishing their tracks online to full-time music-industry and broadcast professionals — create and shape music in the years to come. Some new technologies are involved and some new terminology too, so I'll also explore those elements, as well as suggesting ways of moving forward in the brave new world of loudness normalisation.

  • Effects and Justification of Loudness War in Commercial Music
    EFFECTS AND JUSTIFICATION OF LOUDNESS WAR IN COMMERCIAL MUSIC Anssi Tenhunen Master’s Thesis Music, Mind and Technology Department of Music 22 April 2016 University of Jyväskylä Tiedekunta – Faculty Laitos – Department Humanities Music Department Tekijä – Author ANSSI TENHUNEN Työn nimi – Title EFFECTS AND JUSTIFICATION OF LOUDNESS WAR IN COMMERCIAL MUSIC Oppiaine – Subject Työn laji – Level Music, Mind & Technology Master’s Thesis Aika – Month and year Sivumäärä – Number of pages APRIL 2016 26 or 35 with References and Appendices Tiivistelmä – Abstract Loudness has been proven and acknowledged to be one of the easiest ways to convey something feeling “better”, and thus it has been frequently used technique in sound playback and recordings. However, with the invention of digital recording and playback mediums such as the CD, the limit of how loud sound can go has been met, but music is still being pushed to the limits and even further which can cause audible distortion, which often is viewed as unpleasant. This study tries to find out what is the threshold of acceptable loudness vs unpleasant loudness. A test was conducted where 25 test subjects were played 100 clips of volume matched clips of the same recording with different sort of tonal and dynamic range processing. Results showed that equalizer was perceived and disliked when compared to the unprocessed clip in linear fashion to the amount of processing, and participants either did not hear a difference or had more tolerance to limiters, but after a clear threshold point the results jumped to similar linear results. Thus using a limiter does give the mastering process and in that sense, the loudness war, a significant advantage when trying to achieve loudness until you reach the audible point of distortion.
