ADT Description

The ADT technique was developed at Abbey Road Studios by engineers recording the Beatles in the 1960s. To free John Lennon from having to sing everything twice for real double tracking they came up with an artificial replacement: they sent the original signal to another tape machine and re-recorded it. Due to the physical distance between record and playback heads the new signal was delayed. The length of the delay depends on the tape speed (the slower the tape is running the longer it takes for the signal to travel from the record to the playback head). However, due to the machine's (small amounts of) Wow and Flutter the delay time was not fixed but varied slightly, giving an additional chorus-like effect. The ADT Plug-In will take a mono input signal and creates a stereo output. The original input signal will be output on one channel, the new ADT signal on the other. Blending the two is also possible. The Plug-In allows to control the delay time (10 - 50ms), Wow and Flutter (both with intensity in % and frequency). All values are based on the technical data of the tape machines that was originally used to create this effect. Main features: Controls: Delay: the time the ADT signal is delayed, 10 - 50 ms Dra Level: the level of the original signal ADT Level: the level of the ADT signal ADT Pan: the pan position of the ADT signal, the original signal is positioned at the opposite side Wow: amount of low frequency playback speed variation, 0 - 0.2% WowFreq.: low frequency playback speed variation rate, 0 - 6Hz Waveform: waveform of Wow, Sine or Triangle Flutter: amount of high frequency playback speed variation, 0 - 0.2% FlutFreq.: high frequency playback speed variation rate, 4 - 60Hz Waveform: waveform of Flutter, Sine or Triangle
