Some tips for using effects

■If you don't try it yourself, no one will believe that there will be such a "cool" effect. A band-pass filter with a center frequency of approximately 3.5 kHz is used to process the human voice. In a very narrow frequency range (for example, 3 to 4 kHz), the resonant frequency of the filter is modulated with the envelope of the human voice. Then, fine-tune the ratio of the direct sound and the effect sound to make the sound different after removing the effect. But the effect cannot be clearly felt. In this way, the filter will automatically modulate the human voice within its frequency range and make the human voice detailed and full of life.

■The distortion effect only applies to guitars. Is this sentence correct? The answer is: wrong. Believe it or not, the distortion effect can enhance the power and boldness of the drum. The drum sound has a strong head, but it is fleeting. At this time, adding a large amount of overtone components with obvious characteristics can make the drum sound behave very well.

■Transmit an auxiliary bus of the mixer to the carrier input port of the voice synthesizer. The other auxiliary bus is output to the modulation input port of the voice synthesizer. In this way, any signal received on the mixer can modulate the other signal to produce some unexpected effects?? For example: use percussion to modulate bass, guitar, keyboard, etc.

 ■ If you are using a pedal-type distortion effector, be sure to reduce the key release time period of the synthesized sound to a shorter time, because it exaggerates the distortion compression characteristics.

 ■ If the reverb effect you are using is not very satisfactory. Then you can consider adding a different type of effect in parallel (for example, parallel room reverberation and plate reverberation). Adjust the parameters of the two effects as much as possible to the parameters of one effect-to approximate the algorithm rules, the same delay time, and so on. However, since the two effects are of a different type after all, the sound processed by them can complement the sound processed by an effector, so as to obtain a more complete sound effect.

■When using an envelope-modulated filter to process a signal (especially a bass signal), the signal must be divided into two parts: one part is processed by the filter. The other part is sent directly to Tuning He. After the filter is processed, the sound becomes "narrow", but after mixing with the direct sound sent directly to the mixer, the low and high frequency components of the sound can be maintained and the sound becomes full.

■Try to use a method that is considered completely wrong, maybe you will get a good sound effect because of it.

■It often happens that when you constantly turn the knob of the effector or adjust various parameters aimlessly like a mad scientist, you will suddenly get a very wonderful effect. And when you want to record with a tape recorder, you can't get the initial effect. So, a very good habit is before you start mixing. Prepare the recorder so that you can start recording at any time.

 ■Try to use different connections to achieve different effects. For example, use the volume pedal and the delayer together. When putting the delay on the front. When the volume pedal is placed at the back, the volume pedal can control the volume of the direct signal and the delay signal at the same time; when the volume pedal is placed in front of the delayer. The volume pedal can only control the volume of the direct signal, so that the delayed sound can be highlighted.
