Dirac
Optional high quality pitch-shift and time-stretch renderer from The DSP Dimension.
Note: Merging Technologies Dirac key is required.
Accessing Dirac
When a valid key is present Dirac replaces Timezone as the Default Time-stretch tool in Editing.
It can also be defined under
Settings > Application > Editing > Time Stretch Tool
TimeZone is no longer supported and no longer available.
Configuration
Dirac is configured is in Pyramix Settings under Settings > Application > Time Stretch > Dirac.
Three quality modes are available:
Good, Better, Best.
Time/Frequency localization setting
1. Selects full time localization. Good setting for single instruments and voice.
2. Time/frequency localization with emphasis on time localization. If setting 1. produces echoes this give better
results.
3. This sets the time/frequency localization halfway between time and frequency domains. It is the best setting
for all general purpose signals and should be set as default for non-preview processing.
4. Higher frequency localization and less time localization. May be a better choice for classical music than the
lower Time/Freq localization settings.
5. Highest frequency localization. This may not be an ideal choice if you're dealing with signals with very fast
attack transients.
