Overview: Tube Pre-amp and Tape SimulatorAdd 24-bit analog warmth and compression to your digital audio and make your music HOT with this DirectX plug-in! Forget about spending your money on expensive, analog equipment to produce a warm sound before digitally recording your music. AIPL WarmTone allows you to apply the same analog warmth and compression to music recorded directly on the PC. By simulating analog reel-to-reel tapes and tube pre-amps, it means no more waiting for tubes to warm-up or hassling with worn out tape reels and analog hiss. Plus you get that distinctive, full tube sound!
AIPL WarmTone applies tube-like warmth and tape-like compression to any instrument. Building on years of research, and analog tube and tape analysis, WarmTone is in a league of its own. Its proprietary algorithm is a major departure from conventional thinking, and based on psychoacoustics and efficient digital signal processing. To prove just how superior WarmTone is to other tube and tape simulators on the market, we urge you to compare. That's how sure we are you'll conclude WarmTone is the best!
It is best to record digital audio at a low level with no saturation, and then increase the level with WarmTone. WarmTone can not only produce guitar distortion, but also increase the level of vocals above the mix, increase the level of the whole mix, and harmonically expand the mix before converting it to MP3, Windows Media Audio or Apple iTunes/iPod (i.e. AAC) audio, thus, improving the final sound quality.
Requires DirectX compatible recording studio as AIPL WarmTone is a Windows DirectX plug-in.
Install, Try, Buy and ActivateFirst download AIPL WarmTone - the file Warm.exe is saved to your computer and includes both the Standard and Pro versions. Remember where you saved the file Warm.exe, and double-click on the file to install the software. Then, when you first run the program, the Shareware Notification window appears. You can evaluate the program by selecting the Continue button, or you can activate the program by selecting the Register button. Before activation, the standard version is fully functional, and the pro version, activating ProSound, is time limited. After buying AIPL WarmTone, the activation (a.k.a. registration) information is emailed to you. After entering this information in the Register window (which appears when you select the Register button), you instantly convert the downloaded program to a fully functional Standard or Pro version that you can use forever. Pro/Standard: The Standard version neither activates the ProSound nor Dither buttons, whereas the Pro version does. Both are 24 bit processing. However, ProSound and dither produces cleaner sounds by eliminating digital byproducts. We chose this model so you could fully evaluate our products, and we could pass the savings on eliminating distribution and packaging costs on to you (as well as saving trees)! Remember to save downloaded file (Warm.exe) and activation information to reinstall if your computer crashes, or if you decide to transfer WarmTone to a new computer. Suggested Uses
It is best to record digital audio at a low level with no saturation, and then increase the level with WarmTone. WarmTone’s saturation sounds great, like expensive analog equipment, whereas if you saturate the original digital recording, it sounds harsh and is extremely difficult to recover from. Feedback has shown that most users are only increasing the levels by 3 to 6 dB above saturation. These users increase the drive level of the "Mellow Blend" preset. Sometimes, they also increase the Envelope level, thus producing a softer knee. If increasing the levels by 6 dB or greater, we recommend using the ProSound button since it will really improve sound quality. In addition, when using soft knee (i.e. large Envelope value), we recommend re-normalizing the data. Unfortunately, a streaming DirectX plug-in cannot normalize since this process requires scanning the whole file first. This dynamic range compression allows you to make songs that play louder (a.k.a. hotter). This is useful if your music will be played in cars or on inexpensive CD players, as well as before performing digital (bit-rate) compression, such as converting to MP3, WMA or AAC. These are just a few of the uses for WarmTone, and you will find many more. AlgorithmThe 24-bit sound-processing algorithm includes the basic nonlinear properties of tube pre-amps and tape recorders. By modeling the basic properties in a nonlinear fashion, all the desired effects are added to your music, and adjustable! The algorithm does NOT "guess" how a note should sound. Thus, not only are the attack, decay, sustain and release phases of your note properly warmed, but all other parameters that you, as a musician, may change are also appropriately warmed by this algorithm. Finally, WarmTone leaves computational power for other plug-ins, requiring only 1% of a Pentium 1 GHz processor’s power for real-time processing. However, if you require extremely accurate sound quality (labeled ProSound by AIPL), you have this too. Pro/Standard: ProSound and Dither are fully activated in the Pro version and time limited in the standard and downloaded version. ProSound and dither produce cleaner sounds by eliminating digital byproducts. Minimum System Requirements
DirectX Plug-insDirectX Plug-ins (a.k.a. DirectShow) is a Microsoft standard that allows sound effect plug-in vendors to make one product that is compatible with most major recording studios, including GoldWave, Sony’s Sound Forge, Adobe’s Audition (i.e. Cool Edit Pro), Cakewalk and Steinberg (see Audio Links web page). AIPL's plug-ins are compatible with these studios as well as any other DirectX audio plug-in compatible studio.
