Environmental Audio - Creative EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live! Value User Manual

Environmental Audio

Using multiple speakers, Sound Blaster Live! Value recreates and produces sounds realistically as you
would hear them with the acoustics, such as reverberation, associated with the chosen location, such as a
concert hall, room, cave, tunnel, etc. The Environmental Audio utility allows you to specify the
elements that make up the sound for an environment.
On the Master tab page, you can define an audio environment by specifying the effects and their master
settings—add to or remove effects from an environment, specify the type and the degree of the effect.
To configure the master settings for the effects of an
audio environment:
1. In the Environmental Audio Control dialog, click
the Master tab.
2. In the Environment box, select the environment to
view or modify.
Use a default or custom environment to create a
new environment. You cannot save changes to or
delete a default environment.
Save the new environment with a new name or the
name of an existing environment in the
Environment box, and click the Save button.
• To add an effect to the environment:
Click the Add button, select one or more
effects from the Add Effect dialog and then click the OK button. The added effect appears in
the Effects list.
• To change the type of effect:
Click the Type entry in the Effects list and select from the drop-down list.
• To route the sound to another channel:
Click the Route entry in the Effects list, and select from the drop-down list.
• To change the amount of effect:
Select the effect and move the Master Amount slider to the left or right. The amount is
reflected in the Amount column of the Effects list.
The amount set applies even when the effect type is changed.
• To change an effect's parameters:
Double-click the effect OR select the effect and click the Parameters button.
