Vitalize

About Vitalize

Vitalize is tool which allows you to add extra presence and/or sparkle in a different way than with an equalizer. When you use an equalizer to boost a certain frequency range, everything in that range is amplified. In many situations this might be perfectly fine, but there is a chance you also boost unwanted elements of the audio, like background noise or vocal sibilance for example.

Vitalize doesn't boost certain frequencies, but adds harmonics instead. These harmonics are not based on distortion, but are artificially created by a sophisticated algorithm. The result is added presence and sparkle in the most smooth and natural sounding way as possible.

User Interface

Parameter Settings

• Dry level (-48 dB to 12 dB)

You can use the dry level slider to increase or decrease the level of the unprocessed audio.

• Vitalize level (-48 dB to 12 dB)

You can use the vitalize level slider to increase or decrease the processed audio. For a natural sounding result, we recommend to have the vitalize level always at a lower level than the Dry level.

If you have the dry level at 0 dB, a good starting point for the vitalize level would be around -6 dB from where you can adjust it to taste.

• Output Equalizer

The built-in frequency graph acts as an output equalizer and consists of a low cut, low shelf, high shelf and a high cut filter.

You can modify the filter characteristics by clicking the handles (colored bullets) in the curve and move them around. The current frequency and gain settings of the frequency band is displayed. You can also change the filter slopes. Click handle of the filter you wish to modify. Arrows appear surrounding the handle. Move these to change the filter slope.
