Using Audigy 2 Software 3-7
Creative EAX Console consists of four sections: Audio Effects, CMSS 3D, Audio Clean-up, and Time
Scaling.
Audio Effects:
Environmental Sound
Processing
In Audio Effects, you can choose how you want to enhance all kinds of ordinary two-channel sounds.
❑ Advanced EQ lets you boost or de-emphasize the low, mid or high frequencies of sound to suit
individual preference and equipment characteristics. Choose various presets like Jazz or Rock to suit
the audio characteristics you like best.
❑ Special Effects let you modify sounds with pre-programmed algorithms so that male voices can be
turned into female voices, or human speech turned into “chipmunk talk”. You can have lots of fun,
especially when communicating over the Internet.
❑ Studio Effects can add standard distortion, wah, delays and chorus effects to an electric guitar or other
musical instrument.
❑ Environmental Effects simulate typical acoustic environments like stadiums, concert halls, and jazz
clubs. By choosing an effect like “concert hall”, you can make any music sound like it is being
produced inside a concert hall, with all the characteristic echos and reverbration. Various settings let
you vary the type of effect, amount of effect applied, and others. If you have connected rear speakers
to your computer, EAX will trick your ears into believing that your room has turned into a concert hall
or jazz club. EAX becomes more effective as the number of speakers connected is increased. It
supports up to 6 speakers and one subwoofer.
❑ Karaoke Effects let singers add high-quality echo to add richness to their voices. Users can also vary
the music’s pitch to suit their vocal range.
CMSS 3D: Simulating
Surround Sound
Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) 3D makes ordinary two-channel (Left and Right Stereo) sound
seem to surround you, even through only two speakers. For users with 5.1 or 6.1 multichannel speaker
systems, CMSS can also simulate surround sound from ordinary stereo. This is useful for watching DVDs
and VCDs, which contain only stereo soundtracks.
Select CMSS for multichannel audio enhancement on 4/4.1, 5.1 or 6.1 speaker systems, and CMSS2 for
movies.
