This Addendum Manual is organized by operating system release and takes an incremental approach. If you are already familiar with the Quick Guide as well as the Main Manual and just want to learn, what is new about the latest operating system revision, you will find information related to new features in this document in a very condensed fashion. Any operating system download package does include an electronic copy of the corresponding Addendum. What is new in version 8.6? 2 What is new in version 8.6? OS 8.6 is the latest operating system for the KEMPER PROFILERTM, and is available as a free download from www.kemper-amps.com All PROFILER Stage™ units can generally be upgraded in one step. All other PROFILER models running OS 7.3 and higher can be upgraded in one step, too. Check the OS version currently installed on the last page of System Settings. PROFILER Head, Rack, PowerHead™ and PowerRack™ models running OS versions before 7.3 need to be upgraded in two steps. First install OS 7.3, then upgrade to OS 8.6. F If you need to do this, you can find OS 7.3 on the download page under “Older Software Versions”. Double Tracker The KEMPER™ Double Tracker turns your guitar performance into a stereo, double-tracked signal in real time, as if two guitarists were playing the same track left and right. While most double trackers use a traditional combination of chorus and delay to create timing and pitch differences between the tracks, KEMPER utilize a dedicated time-stretching algorithm to create the crucial timing variations, independent of the pitch fluctuations. A little pinch of random timbre variance complements the perfect double tracker experience. As a novelty, KEMPER has added the "super stereo" effect that was initially introduced with the new delay algorithms in OS version 5.0. It massively widens the stereo panorama of the double tracking, making the tracks appear far beyond the regular stereo image. The Double Tracker is best enjoyed in spread stereo, as you tend to find in professional recording mixes. For this reason, we recommend placing it post stack section. What is new in version 8.6? 3 Looseness Sets the tightness or looseness of the double tracking timing. Detune Adds a slight additional detuning to the two tracks, in the style of an Air Chorus. The Detune is just an option and not essential for perfect double tracking.

  • Preferred Levels for Background Ducking to Produce Esthetically Pleasing Audio for TV with Clear Speech” J

DOI: https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2019.0052 Preferred Levels for Background Ducking to Produce Esthetically Pleasing Audio for TV with Clear Speech , MATTEO TORCOLI,1 AES Member, ALEX FREKE-MORIN,1 2 AES Associate Member, ([email protected]) ([email protected]) , JOUNI PAULUS1 3, CHRISTIAN SIMON,1 AES Associate Member, AND ([email protected]) ([email protected]) BEN SHIRLEY,2 AES Member ([email protected]) 1Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Erlangen, Germany 2Acoustics Research Centre, University of Salford, UK 3International Audio Laboratories Erlangen, Germany, A joint institution of Universitat¨ Erlangen-Nurnberg¨ and Fraunhofer IIS. In audio production, background ducking facilitates speech intelligibility while allowing the background to fulfill its purpose, e.g., to create ambience, set the mood, or convey seman- tic cues. Technical details for recommended ducking practices are not currently documented in the literature. Hence, we first analyzed common practices found in TV documentaries. Second, a listening test investigated the preferences of 22 normal-hearing participants on the Loudness Difference (LD) between commentary and background during ducking. Highly personal preferences were observed, highlighting the importance of object-based personaliza- tion. Statistically significant difference was found between non-expert and expert listeners. On average, non-experts preferred LDs that were 4 LU higher than the ones preferred by experts.

MetaFlanger is an audio plug-in that can be used to produce a variety of classic tape flanging, vintage phas- er emulation, chorusing, and some unexpected effects. It can emulate traditional analog flangers,fill out a simple sound, create intricate harmonic textures and even generate small rough reverbs and effects. The following pages explain how to use MetaFlanger. MetaFlanger’s Graphic Interface 2 MetaFlanger Manual Chapter 2 - Quick Start For mixing, you can use MetaFlanger as a direct insert and control the amount of flanging with the Mix control. Some applications also offer sends and returns; either way works quite well. 1 When you insert MetaFlanger, it will open with the default settings (click on the Reset button to reload these!). These settings produce a basic classic flanging effect that’s easily tweaked. 2 Preview your audio signal by clicking the Preview button. If you are using a real-time system (such as TDM, VST, or MAS), press ‘play’. You’ll hear the flanged signal.

  • A History of Audio Effects
    applied sciences Review A History of Audio Effects Thomas Wilmering 1,∗ , David Moffat 2 , Alessia Milo 1 and Mark B. Sandler 1 1 Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London, London E1 4NS, UK; [email protected] (A.M.); [email protected] (M.B.S.) 2 Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research, University of Plymouth, Plymouth PL4 8AA, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 December 2019; Accepted: 13 January 2020; Published: 22 January 2020 Abstract: Audio effects are an essential tool that the field of music production relies upon. The ability to intentionally manipulate and modify a piece of sound has opened up considerable opportunities for music making. The evolution of technology has often driven new audio tools and effects, from early architectural acoustics through electromechanical and electronic devices to the digitisation of music production studios. Throughout time, music has constantly borrowed ideas and technological advancements from all other fields and contributed back to the innovative technology. This is defined as transsectorial innovation and fundamentally underpins the technological developments of audio effects. The development and evolution of audio effect technology is discussed, highlighting major technical breakthroughs and the impact of available audio effects. Keywords: audio effects; history; transsectorial innovation; technology; audio processing; music production 1. Introduction In this article, we describe the history of audio effects with regards to musical composition (music performance and production). We define audio effects as the controlled transformation of a sound typically based on some control parameters. As such, the term sound transformation can be considered synonymous with audio effect.
