3 Loading the V S T or A U plug-in in t o the D A W On a Mac, a plug-in in the VST or AU format is automatically located by the host and no action needs to be taken for the VST/AU host to find the ReValver® plug-in. It should be automatically listed among the available plug-ins after a rescan. In Windows, it is possible to install the VST plug-in at any location. To make the VST host aware of this location it must manually be pointed to. During the installation of ReValver, you are

4 Connecting the Guit ar t o th e sound c ar d Here are three ways to connect your Guitar to the computer: 1) The simplest option is to hook it up to the sound card Line-In jack using a suitable connector, usu ally a 1/4” to 1/8” adapter. The advantage is that you don’t have to buy any additional gear (except maybe the cable adapter) but the sound is not ideal, probably not even good. The reason for the dull and boring sound is due to an impedance misma t ch. The sound card input is d

5 3) The middle road, which probably won’t cost you anything, but could be almost as good as a DI box, is the use of an or dinar y s t omp bo x, which in fact is a sort of DI box. It could be a pedal of any kind; a distortion pedal, chorus, echo, etc., as long as: a) It is electrically powered, and you actually use the battery or power source b) You use it in bypassed mode, i.e “off” c) It is not a “true bypass” device, (In other words, in “off” mode, if the sound disappears when you remove

6 4) The best option is, of course, to purchase a good quality Digital Audio Interface. There are sev- eral on the market made specifically for Guitar for under $100. Look for a device with ASIO (audio stream input/output) drivers, which is an industry standard and will work well with Re- Valver® MKIII. After you install the device, the Audio Devices menu under the File menu will allow you to choose that device for input and output, then the Control Panel button will be activated, an

7 R ec or ding the Guit ar with or without e ff ects? Should you use hardware compressors, distortion or other effects before you record the signal? It is your personal preference. If you can’t live without “that special sound,“ then you should prob- ably record it that way. But when it comes to compression, EQ, reverb and other special effects that could be produced in software, then you should produce it in software and not in hardware. That way you can always change your mind afterwa

8 W orking with R eV al v er® MK III The title module At the top of the graphical interface of the program is a module containing general setup functionality , including the Input v olume +-16dB adjus tmen t (with pre and post LED indicat ors), Output v olume -32dB adjus tmen t (with post LED indicator). The adjustment knobs can automati- cally adjust the input and output volume to 0dB by pressing the “Learn” buttons. Pressing the gearwheel icon brings up the Options window. The

9 Quality modes By pressing the gearwheel icon on the title module you can select the St artup quality mode. The mix-down quality mode forces 64-bit processing at 4x oversampling. This mode fully exposes the qualities of the program, whereas the normal “real time” mode may be a little more noisy and is likely to contain some aliasing noise (especially in high gain amps). It is recommended to always use the “mix-down mode” when freezing/rendering or when mix ing a track. Please be aware tha
