Multiband approach to Digital Audio FX
P. Fernandez-Cid, Javier Casajús-Quirós · 2002
New formats for digital audio with enhanced resolution and sampling frequency make the limits of traditional approaches to audio effects noticeable. The processes applied during audio production and postproduction for media can be advanced to a higher level of quality thanks to a multiband approach to Digital Audio FX. Also completely new effects can be generated if multiband structure is applied as a central part of a multieffect chain. This paper discusses the benefits of multiband architectures for both quasilinear and non-linear DAFX. Benefits of a combined multieffect and multiband design are also addressed, which include an increase of quality and new non-previously available effects.
