Applications

Recording Studio

Studio Application 1:

VITALIZER between console (master outputs) and recorder

Studio Application 2:

1.The most obvious application of the VITALIZER is to process a final stereo mix, either while mixing or during post-production prior to cutting. It is important to use full-range monitors to assess the effect of any bass processing since it is valuable to occasionally switch the processor in and out of circuit in order to appreciate how much processing has been added. The brain-hearing system soon acclimatises to changes in timbre – processing is easily over- done! It is recommended to refer frequently to known recordings.

2.Another popular stereo application is the processing of existing master tapes during post-production such as remastering archive material for CD release. If a single-ended noise reduction system is used to clean up the original, the VITALIZER can make a signifi- cant contribution in restoring the high end detail that invariably suffers during such treatment.

3.When processing stereo-mixes it is recommended to patch the VITALIZER into the master-breaks of the console. Mostly these breaks are switched pre-fader, so that the monitoring volume does not affect the processing intensity, which would be the case when using the VITALIZER on the master outputs of the console.
