TA-1VP Factory Presets
The TA-1VP comes pre-programmed with 35 factory
presets. These presets were designed by studio
professionals to provided quick setups for common track
enhancements or problems, and are based around music
genres and/or the type of sound source used in their
creation.
Keep in mind that these presets are designed as general
starting points. Parameters such as compression
threshold, de-esser threshold and high pass frequency,
and EQ settings will typically need to be tweaked for
the specifics of any particular track. (And, as always with
compression, beware that over-compression can tend to
make a sound smaller instead of bigger.)
Auto-Tune has not been enabled in any of the factory
presets. To add Auto-Tune to a preset, select and/or
modify a scale, set the appropriate Speed setting for the
performance, turn the Auto-Tune module on and resave
the preset.
Presets which use Double Tracking default to Stereo
Double Track mode and refer to Auto-Tune’s Scale and
Speed settings. In most cases you will have to adjust these
settings as appropriate for your performance.
In presets that use Mic Modeler, the Source Mic setting
defaults to Bypass. You should set the source mic to the
mic (or mic type) that the track was recorded with and
then resave the preset.
As you scroll through the presets, the various modules’
“ON” buttons will light to indicate which modules are
active in each preset. Use the “ON” buttons to quickly
evaluate each module’s effect, especially EQ, which may
need to be customized for your particular mix.
Also, keep in mind that while each preset was created
with a particular use in mind, using a preset for another
purpose is fine. Go ahead and experiment. In the end,
creating your own unique sounds is the name of the
game. Have fun!
