Singing with a microphone
Setting up your voice tone
Quick Guide
2 Check the “Auto-Chromatic Amount” box, and adjust the correction amount while
singing and listening to your tuning.
Try first with a setting of 50%, that should work in most situations. A lower value will make cor-
rection less effective, a higher value will make the correction more evident.
3 Touch the Mic Tone tab.
The Mic Tone page appears.
4 Be sure that the “Adaptive” box in the EQ section is checked, and use the Shape knob to
adjust the brightness of your voice, and the Warmth checkbox to add warmth to the
sound.
The Adaptive setting automatically adjusts the EQ parameters. The Shape control adds an airy
brightness, or “sizzle” to your voice while reducing “mud” due to the proximity effect from sing-
ing closely into a cardioid microphone. The Warmth control further reduces the mud, while
adding warmth to the sound.
5 Be sure that the “Adaptive” box in the Compress/DeEss section is checked, and use the
Compress knob to adjust the amount of compression while singing and listening to
your dynamics.
The Adaptive setting automatically adjusts the Compressor parameters. In this mode, the com-
pressor listens to your singing over time and adjusts the internal parameters accordingly. You
can use the Compress knob to increase or decrease the amount of compression.
6 In case you also want to keep the sibilants under control, play with the DeEss knob to
fix them.
There is a side effect that comes from adding high frequencies and compression to your voice,
and that’s excessive sibilance. The DeEss control monitors the level of sibilance and, when it is
detected, will quickly and transparently reduce it.
To reduce the risk of feedback and the amount of environmental noise (from other musicians on
stage, from the audience…) use the Gate control. Be sure the “Adaptive” option is selected in the
