WAVELAB
9 – 208 Off-line processing
Additional controls
Please note that by specifying very small pitch shift amounts (a few cents
only) and panning the detuned voices hard left and right, you can create
stereo material out of mono recordings without a noticeable change in
pitch. Please try to keep a balance in the detuning. If for example you set
one voice to +5 cents, set another to -5 cents.
Hi-fi Chorus
This chorus works slightly differently from many others. Often chorusing is
achieved by delaying a copy of the signal, continuously varying the
amount of delay and mixing the delayed signal back in with the original.
While this is adequate for many purposes, WaveLab takes a more natural
approach to creating chorus. Since a chorus effect is about making a re-
cording sound as if it was performed by many “identical musicians”,
WaveLab takes just that approach. It multiplies the recording up to 100
times and detunes and delays each “voice” slightly and – if so desired –
pans the voices across the stereo image.

original, even though a number of voices have been added.

wave
If you are operating from a mono selection you can still create a stereo wave
by activating this option. The processed wave will then open in a new window.
