Re: [ARSCLIST] Plangent Processes and speed correction
Steve,
Plangent Processes and Antares are two different animals. One looks
at non-program artifacts in the source, the other looks at program.
Plangent has some impressive demonstrations - they can almost totally
remove dubber flutter. I think I heard things at the ARSC conference
that did not come off magnetic media, and Jamie talked about looking
for and locking onto a wide range of "timebase"-type signals in a recording.
Sure you want to own it, but Jamie needs to recoup a sizeable
investment. Look at the prices of the Algorithmix pro plugins and the
Cedar processes. I can tell you that the incremental difference on
noise reduction between the mid-range Algorithmix Sound Laundry and
the Pro is about the price ratio.
My band organ client was blown away with the new noise reduction (he
likes to hear the music, not the machine).
Anyway, if you lock onto the music, doesn't that destroy the music
unless there is a low-pass filter?
Cheers,
Richard

I just looked at their web site.
Their examples are all from tape or cylinders, i.e., constant speed. I'm
interested in 78s.
This is a brureau only. I spoke with them at the ARSC meeting. Cost is
about $ 3,000 per hour. Perhaps this has changed.
Speaking for myself, though I expect it reflects the attitude of many on
this particular list, I want to own the thing, preferbly as a plug-in.
This may not be possible as yet. The process may not be streamlined enough
to simplify it sufficently to be marketed.
The Antares Auto-Tune plug-in is $ 320 and up, PC and Mac. It seem to work
with lead instruents and sung vocals. I've not tried it.
