An example
As an example, consider this before-and-after graphic representation of the pitch of a vocal phrase that contains both vibrato and expressive gestures.
CORRECTED BY AVP D3
C3 ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE
B2 10.0 10.5 11.0
In the original performance, we can see that although the final note should be centered around D, the vocalist allowed the tail of the note to fall nearly three semitones flat. The �after� plot is the result of passing this phrase through the AVP set to a D Major Scale (with C# and B set to �Blank�) and a Speed setting of 10. That Speed causes the pitch center to be moved to D, while still retaining the vibrato and expressive gestures. (Setting C# and B to �Blank� is necessary to keep the AVP from trying to correct the seriously flat tail of the last note to those pitches. See Chapter 4 for more details.)
Antares Microphone Modeling
If you�ve spent any time lately flipping through the pages of pro audio magazines, you have almost certainly noticed the intense focus on microphones. From the proliferation of exotic new mics to the almost cult-like following of certain historical classics, never has the choice been greater. But amassing a substantial collection of high-end mics is financially prohibitive for all but the most well-heeled studios. Now, using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool� technology, we�ve created digital models of a variety of microphones. Simply tell the AVP what type of microphone you are actually using and what type of microphone you�d like it to sound like. It�s as simple as that.
