Using chorus, flanger, and phaser effects
These effects can thicken sound or make it outrageous. They range from the Chorus
effect’s ability to make a single instrument or vocalist sound like a group playing or singing
in unison, to the wilder sounds of the Flanger effect and the phaser effects. Although you
can apply them in stereo for the most dimensional results, you can use them with mono
sound as well.
Using the Chorus effect
The Chorus effect adds richness as if several voices or instruments are played at once. It’s
a great way to add a degree of presence to a track. You can use it to give a stereo effect to a
mono sample (where the left and right channels are identical) or to add harmony or
“thickness” to a vocal track. You can also use it to create some truly out-of-this-world
special effects.
Adobe Audition uses a direct-simulation method of achieving a chorus effect, meaning
that each voice (or layer) is made to sound distinct from the original by slightly varying
the timing, intonation, and vibrato. The Feedback setting lets you add extra detail to the
result.
You get better results if you convert mono files to stereo before applying the
Chorus effect.
To use the Chorus effect:
1 Select an audio range (Edit View) or track (Multitrack View).
2 In the Effects tab of the Organizer window, expand Delay Effects, and double-click
Chorus.
3 Set the desired options.
