How to use this workflow
Establish the reference
Keep an unchanged source and identify the passage or signal relationship described below.
Compare one stage at a time
Keep the source and output level fixed. Compare the effect enabled and disabled, then change its mix. Wait for a tail to finish before judging an ending. If several effects are active, bypass the stage under investigation rather than assuming the whole chain is off. Save the settings with the comparison.
Verify the saved result
Reopen the downloaded file and compare the relevant event with the source. Keep the source and the settings note for a later revision.
Calculate one explicitly defined blend
In a linear crossfade y = (1 − m)x + me, m = 0.25 gives 0.75 dry plus 0.25 effect. If the two instantaneous samples are x = 0.4 and e = 0.2, y = 0.35. This is an illustrative mixer equation, not a claim that every PitchChanger effect uses that mix law. Equal-power controls or a wet-only return behave differently.
Swipe or scroll sideways to read all columns.
| Item | Value or action | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| m = 0 | 1 × dry + 0 × wet | Dry under this equation |
| m = 0.25 | 0.75 × 0.4 + 0.25 × 0.2 | 0.35 sample value |
| m = 1 | 0 × dry + 1 × wet | Effect only |
Apply the result within the tool’s limits
In Slowed + Reverb, disabling reverb still leaves the selected linked playback rate active. To compare against the original, restore the rate too. A reverb mix comparison and a complete original-versus-processed comparison answer different questions.
Common questions
Are the example numbers device test results?
No. Numerical examples and worksheets on this page are authored explanations. They do not measure your recording, browser latency or listening accuracy.
