Effect: Spectral normalization (Filter designer)

Description of effect: 
This effect creates filters. This filter can be used for filtering a waveform, to have the same properties as another waveform.

You should use this effect when you want one sound "have as much treble / bass etc, as an other sound"

Main benefit: 
A filter can easily be constructed for a song or a sample that has been recorder improperly. It is not easy to know whether the recording has too much or too little bass / treble. These parameters can be adjusted to be alike another song of your liking.

Why not make your song more Motown-ish?

Lost treble can now be found again. 

Description of parameters: 
NOTE! The spectrum normalization effect is two-part-operation! To begin, Pristine sounds first have to know just how the song sounds like, before a suitable filter can be constructed.

•  Select a part of the wave that contains what you believe is characteristic of the song. Preferable, you want to select as much as possible. Press the right mouse button and select "Scan spectral image" from the menu. The song will be analyzed.
• When done, you will be asked the question, if you want to add the analyze to the database, or go directly to the filtercreation process.
• In the Spectral normalization menu, proceed with the following parameters:

Load: Load a normalization target. The current song will assume the same spectral shape as the target. It is vital that a target is loaded before you can continue. Many targets have been included for you until you have some of your own in your database.

Preview: Press the 'Preview' button to test the effect to see if it is tuned properly. It is quicker than applying the effect and making an undo...
