Antares TA-1VP Manuale Utente

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!

Double track was engaged 

because the singer complained 

that he sounded too “dry” in the 

mix. The double track provided the 

“space” he was looking for without 

introducing any delay or messy 

reverb. Pan outputs left/right.
