Adding a Chorus Effect

In CyberLink AudioDirector you can make your audio sound richer by adding a chorus effect to it. This is done by adding some delays and feedback, so it sounds as if multiple audio sources, voices, or instruments are playing together.

To add a chorus effect to audio, do this:

1.Select the media file in the library that you want to apply the chorus effect to.
2.If required, use range selection to select the portion of audio you want to apply the effect to. See Range Selection for more information on selecting a range of an audio file. If you don't select a range, the effect is applied to the entire audio clip.

Note: the entire audio file's waveform is selected by default when this feature is opened. If you want to apply this feature to the entire audio file, you do not need to use range selection when the entire waveform is selected.

3.Decide whether you want to apply the effect on all the available channels, or just one channel. See Selecting Channels for Editing for more information on selecting channels.
4.Click Chorus under the Apply Effect section.
5.Select a chorus preset from the Presets drop-down. Select the preset that best suits the sound you want to achieve.
6.If required, click to modify the advanced settings as follows:
Voices count: use this slider if you want to increase the perceived number of voices in the audio. As you drag the slider right, the number of voices heard in the audio increases.
Initial delay time: use this slider to set how far behind, in milliseconds, the audio with the chorus effect applied will start behind the original audio signal.
Delay depth: use this slider to control the range of sweeping in each modulation period.
Modulation rate: use the slider to control how quickly (measured in hertz, or cycles per second) the filters sweep to and from the source frequency of the audio.
Decay: use the slider to set the amount of decay on the effect, or the relative strength/amplitude (to the original) of the copied effect. Adjusting this option can greatly intensify the effect.
Dry: use this slider to set the amount of original audio that will be in the adjusted audio.
Wet: use the slider to set the amount of wet (audio with chorus effect applied) audio that will be in the adjusted audio.
7.If required, you can preview how the applied effect will sound by selecting Adjusted result and then clicking the play button on the playback controls. Select Original audio if you want to play the original audio.
8.Click Apply to add the chorus effect to the audio.

Note: if required, click on the Effect tab to see the applied effect in the edit panel. See Effect Tab for more information.
