Ch. S -- The "Effects" Options; Amplify; Backwards; Echo - Applied Engineering AUDIO ANIMATOR User Manual

CHAPTER FIVE
The "Effects" Options
The Effects options affect only the segment of the currently
active window that you have selected .
• :. Note:
When working with stereo files, you can
Amplify ...
select the channel on which you want the effects to
take place with the Effects Channel option in the
Setup Menu. You're given the options Display
Channel, and Both Channels. You can, for example,
echo the left channel while the right channel remains
unaffected.
The Effects Channel option cannot be selected when
working with a mono file. In mono files, all effects
will affect the single mono channel.
First select the segment you want
to
amplify. Then select this
option from the menu. A window will appear allowing you
to select the percent of amplification (200% is twice as loud) .
• :. Note:
When you increase the amplitude you also
increase the level of noise you have recorded. For
the cleanest sound, make sure that your recording
levels are set high enough to capture the sound but
not high enough to clip the sound. See Distorted
Sound in the appendices, "Trouble Shooting."
Backwards
The selected segment will be flip-flopped. This is your
chance to hear for yourself if there are any secret messages
backwards-masked into Rock-and-Roll songs. Play your own
voice backwards. Who knows? Maybe you, yourself, are
sending out messages so subtle you didn't even notice.
Echo ...
A window will appear allowing you to set the
Echo
Amplification
and the
Echo Interval.
