turned into a concert hall or jazz club. EAX becomes more effective as the number
of speakers connected is increased. It supports up to 6 speakers and one
subwoofer.
❑ Karaoke Effects let singers add high-quality echo to add richness to their voices.
Users can also vary the music's pitch to suit their vocal range.
Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) 3D makes ordinary two-channel (Left and
Right Stereo) sound seem to surround you, even through only two speakers. For
users with 5.1 or 6.1 multichannel speaker systems, CMSS can also simulate
surround sound from ordinary stereo. This is useful for watching DVDs and VCDs,
which contain only stereo soundtracks.
Select CMSS for multichannel audio enhancement on 4/4.1, 5.1 or 6.1 speaker
systems, and CMSS2 for movies.
Note: For a 4/4.1-speaker system, audio for your subwoofer is processed by the speaker
system.
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, Sound
Blaster Audigy 2 users can maintain the pitch of a song while varying the playback
speed.
