Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Parametric EQ 2 - Parameters
How to change Filter Slope?

A
  • Left-click and drag up/down on the dot/s below each band shape to select filter slope:
  • -Drag Down - Steep 4 (-24 dB/Oct), Steep 6 (-36 dB/Oct)& Steep 8 (-48 dB/Oct).
  • –Center - 2 (-12 dB/Oct).
  • —Drag Up - Gentle 4 (-24 dB/Oct), Gentle 6 (-36 dB/Oct) & Gentle 8 (-48 dB/Oct).
  • —-Steep and Gentle filters have the same slope but differ around the cutoff frequency. Gentle filters have a more gradual acceleration into the main slope, and so filter more leading into the cutoff frequency compared to the Steep type. Gentle varies between -6 dB (Gentle 4) and -12 dB (Gentle 8) at the cutoff while Steep is always around -3 dB at the cutoff.

57
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser
What is Fruity Phaser?

A
  • Fruity Phaser is a low-CPU phaser plugin.
  • -Phasing is closely related to Flanging.
  • –Various frequencies in the original signal are delayed by different amounts, causing peaks and troughs in the output signal which are not spaced evenly.
  • —Phasing and flanging sound similar, as both come from combining delayed versions of the signal with the original.
  • —-However, the Phasing effect is significantly more intense, with a greater ‘sweeping’ effect across the spectrum.
58
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser - Parameters
Sweep Frequency

A
  • Sets the frequency of the LFO which controls the phaser.
  • -The range of this parameter depends on the Frequency Range parameter.
  • –If the value for that parameter is large, Sweep Frequency will change the frequency between 0 and 10Hz.
  • —If the range is small, it will change the frequency between 0 and 2Hz.
59
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser - Parameters
Min and Max Depth

A
  • Control the range of the phaser action.
  • -The phaser will be swept between these values.

Frequency range

A

-Sets the frequency range using for the Sweep Frequency parameter.

61
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser - Parameters
Stereo

A
  • Use this control to widen the stereo image.
  • -If it’s set to 0, the LFO on the left and right channel will be in perfect synchronization.
  • –At 180 degrees the left and right channel will be 100% out of phase.
  • —This means that the left channel will reach its maximum when the right channel is at minimum.
  • —-Range: 0 to 360 degrees.
  • —–Try setting 10 degrees for subtle stereo enhancement.
62
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser - Parameters
Stages

A
  • Stages controls the number of phasing stages.
  • -Old stompbox phasers usually have 4 or 6 stages, but this digital equivalent can have up to 23 stages.
  • –As the number of stages rises, the effect becomes more aggressive and more pronounced.
63
Q

FL STUDIO - Fruity Phaser - Parameters
Feedback

A

  • -A related plugin for detailed pitch correction, editing and sample manipulation is Newtone.
67
Q

FL STUDIO - Pitcher
Suggestions for using Pitcher
To get the best sound from Pitcher:

A
  • Avoid singing pitches on the boundary between notes in the scale.
  • -Use the Input Pitch detection indicator as a guide.
  • –Avoid excessive vibrato.
  • —Pitcher works with monophonic (single note) sounds.
  • —-It won’t work with choirs, chords or complete mixes although abusing it this way may yield creative effects.
  • —–Select the appropriate scale for your vocal.
  • ——If you don’t know what key your vocals are in, watch the pitch indicator and deselect notes that are detected but unwanted.
  • Put Pitcher first in the effects chain so that it receives a non-effected input. Phasing, chorus and reverb can negatively impact pitch detection.
  • -When using MIDI control, align (or play) notes slightly ahead of the vocal so you don’t miss the vocal attack sound.
68
Q

FL STUDIO - Pitcher
Suggestions for using Pitcher
If you don’t know what key your vocals are in, do what?

A

-Watch the pitch indicator and deselect notes that are detected but unwanted.

69
Q
FL STUDIO - Pitcher - Options
Pitch reference (REF)
A
  • Select the input channel, L, R or Independent, used for pitching.
  • -Independent tunes the L and R channels independently.
70
Q
FL STUDIO - Pitcher - Options
Minimum Frequency (Min:)
A
  • Select the minimum detected frequency in the input.
  • -There are two benefits to selecting the highest Minimum frequency that works with your source audio.
  • –1. Avoids spurious low frequencies interfering with pitch detection (e.g. rumble & vibrations, breath pops, background noise etc). Particularly useful with vocals, try 80-170 Hz with males and 170-220 Hz with females.
  • —2. Reduces CPU load as frequency detectors below the Min setting are disabled.

Automated pitch correction
Formant

A
  • Formant preservation.
  • -A formant is a resonance or peak in the frequency spectrum of a sound.
  • –It’s most commonly used to describe the throat, mouth and nasal cavity resonances in the human voice.
  • —As the resonance is related to the size and shape of these cavities, formants are a major aural cue to the age and sex of a speaker.
  • —-The Formant option maintains a constant formant as the pitch is varied from the original (particularly useful in MIDI mode).
  • —–When it’s off, you will hear the common ‘I’ve been sucking on helium’ vocal sound with pitch-shifts of more than a few notes.

MIDI Mode / Harmonizing Setup
How to set up?

A
  • Select MIDI mode - Click the MIDI switch on Pitcher. When selected the Port display (as shown above) will appear at the bottom left on the plugin window.
  • -MIDI Out - Load the MIDI Out generator on a channel and set the Port number (0 to 255) by dragging up/down in the Port window. This number is used to link the MIDI Out plugin to Pitcher.
  • –Match Port numbers - Set the Port Number on Pitcher (drag up/down where it shows ‘1’ above. When no port is set this shows ‘…’ ) to match the Port Number on MIDI Out. This links the two plugins so the MIDI Out Channel will control Pitcher’s harmonization or pitch.
  • —Set other MIDI modes - Select Octaves & Harmonize (down position) if you want to play chords.
  • —-Formant - Turn the Formant switch ON (illuminated) if desired. Vocals will sound more natural with formant correction.
  • —–Play - Play notes on your keyboard while singing or routing audio to Pitcher’s Mixer Track (and be amazed that you are milliseconds away from fame and stardom!).
