In Audio Effects, you can choose how you want to enhance all kinds of ordinary two-channel sounds.
Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) 3D makes ordinary two-channel (Left and Right Stereo) sound
seem to surround you, even through only two speakers. This is useful for watching DVDs and VCDs,
which contain only stereo soundtracks.
Audio Clean-up allows you to process prerecorded as well as real-time audio, in order to remove noise,
click sounds and other artifacts. For example, when recording music from old vinyl records, "click" and
"pop" sounds can be removed with the Clean-up feature. The Click Meter informs you whenever the noise
clean-up feature is activated during recording and also how many clicks are removed.
Karaoke fans and musicians may sometimes wish to slow a song down (or speed it up) to catch the lyrics
or play along with the music. However, varying the speed usually also varies the pitch of the song. With
the Time Scaling feature, Your Sound Blaster users can maintain the pitch of a song while varying the
playback speed.
