Noveltech Audio Launches Vocal Enhancer for TC PowerCore

Feb 12, 2007 1:53 PM

Noveltech Audio’s new Vocal Enhancer vocal processing plug-in for TC’s PowerCore platform utilizes the company’s patented IAF (Intelligent Adaptive Filtering) technology to boost the material’s “desired” characteristics dynamically, instead of performing a static boost of certain frequency areas like an EQ - or adding harmonics artificially as with conventional enhancers. As the algorithm constantly adapts to the source material, the results sound natural even when applying high amounts of processing. Another advantage of IAF is that it makes the Enhancer easy to use: the Plug-In only requires two user parameters for basic operation, with an additional 2-band filter section for fast fine-tuning.

The IAF technology allows less experienced users to achieve very high-end results, but experienced pros will also appreciate the time the technology saves Vocal Enhancer is available for PowerCore on Mac and PC (Intel Macs not supported yet), and is compatible with all host applications capable of running PowerCore Plug-Ins, such as Cubase, Logic or Nuendo.

Noveltech's key features list includes crisp and natural-sounding results without artefacts, a larger processing range than conventional enhancers, no listening fatigue, easy to use, low and high filters with resonance that allow for precise adjustment and accentuation of corner frequencies and adaptive processing that ensures instant gratification. The system requirements are a computer with Windows XP or Mac OS X equipped to TC Electronic’s requirements for running PowerCore hardware and host software capable of loading PowerCore plug-ins. Though it is not Intel-Mac compatible at this time, a free update will be available shortly after the release of a compatible PowerCore software version by TC. Vocal Enhancer is available online from Noveltech’s site at www.noveltechaudio.com at a price of EUR 299 (approx. $387US).
