New philosophy in audio processing

The latest scientific research in digital signal processing and psychoacoustics has led to the birth of this innovative effect. The Character™ algorithm is based on Noveltech's patent pending Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology.

The Character™ algorithm is based on a new ideology and a fundamentally different approach to audio processing. Conventional tools simply modify the frequency intensity or dynamic structure of the source material, without analyzing its contents prior to processing. This makes the audio processing with such tools a job for specialists, requiring a lot of engineering expertise in order to get the desired result. The Character™ technology overcomes this significant limitation and brings a truly intuitive approach, which offers instant gratification.

The processing affects both the frequency response and dynamic properties of the input material in a highly time varying sense. When processing an audio source, the Character™ algorithm intelligently identifies and enhances the characteristics that are pleasing to the human auditory system. One example of such characteristics is the time related attack and decay properties of the signal transients. The processing is non-linear and highly dependent on the source material's original content, aiming on enhancing the perceivably favored characteristics that derives from the original musical instrument or voice. E.g. it is possible to highlight the "guitarness" of a bass by merely selecting one of three processing modes, setting the "target" frequency, and adjusting to the desired "character" level. Character™ is particularly useful for single instruments but can also create good results for group mixes such as drums or vocals etc.

Basic audio processing tools such as EQs and compressors involve a large number of technical parameters, which have to be set to correct values in order to get the desired result. The Character™ intelligently enhances the relevant characteristics found in the source, working across a complex set of connected parameters, and not only boosting e.g. one specific frequency. This innovative approach allows users to get to the desired results much faster, as only three parameters need tweaking!

NOVELTECH VOCAL ENHANCER – Get the sound you always wanted.
Conventional Harmonic Exciters™ or Enhancers are very effective tools to juice up the vocal sound, but are equally infamous for all their side effects. These range from listening fatigue to artefacts due to excess amounts of harmonic processing.

Here’s the remedy: The Noveltech Vocal Enhancer
This new tool not only gives your vocal recordings an unprecedented clarity and crispness without any unwanted side effects, it is even capable of increasing your material’s perceived definition!

Let’s get radical!
This process works radically different from any conventional technology you have worked with so far. So you can safely leave all your preconceptions behind - and even better: also all those problems with nasty artifacts are also a thing of the past! What’s more, our new tool is so easy to use, that you’ll get great results that will put a smile on your face instantly!

The new NOVELTECH VOCAL ENHANCER is based on the groundbreaking and patent-pending IAF technology that is also at the core of our renowned CHARACTER Plug-In.

IAF stands for “Intelligent Adaptive Filtering”. This process boosts the material’s “desired” characteristics dynamically, instead of performing a static boost of certain frequency areas like an EQ - or adding harmonics artificially like a traditional Enhancer. As it constantly adapts to the source material, the results are way superior to static processing. And the sound remains natural, even when applying more than just a little.
The Vocal Enhancer has instant gratification written all over it. In fact, it is so easy to use that your first trials will already have great sounding results.

But don’t just take our word for it: hearing is believing!


System Requirements
• Computer with Windows XP or Mac OS X equipped to TC Electronic’s requirements for running PowerCore hardware
• Host software capable of loading PowerCore Plug-Ins (Cubase, Logic, Nuendo …)


USER QUOTES


We have provided a couple professionals with the Vocal Enhancer ahead of release. Here's what they have to say about it:

PAUL WHITE, Editor SoundOnSound, UK:
"With Vocal Enhancer in your corner, you should be able to get a great sound from just about any decent singer regardless of the microphone type. Alternatively, Vocal Enhancer and one good vocal microphone provides a viable alternative to a cupboard full of different vocal mics. The nearest thing to a 'make it sound better' button I've heard to date."

BOB KATZ, Digital Domain Mastering, USA:
"I think The Vocal enhancer is an entirely new tool, in many cases better than a standard equalizer, to enhance the clarity and presence of vocals and help them in mixing, without making them sound harsh or edgy. Of course you can go too far with this as with any tool, but the palette allows for anything from subtle to aggressive".

DAVE LOCKWOOD, Publisher SoundOnSound, UK:
"What I really love about Vocal Enhancer is the way you can’t quite work out what is being done to the signal. It doesn’t sound obviously compressed or EQed, it just sounds better than it did before. The ability to precisely tailor the processing range makes this a really versatile tool that’s actually good for a whole lot more than just vocals."

VIRTANEN VILLE, Darude, Finland:
"Who cares how the vox sound like when you can go crazy with the filters and make cool sounding edit bits on the stereo master file with this beast! :) Well, ok, I did use it all over the vox and other stuff of my forthcoming album 'Label This!'. Brilliant!"
