How to use HOFA 4U + Blind Test
At first, I don't know how to use it at all, and since it's free, can I only listen to and compare one track? ?? ??I thought, but when I saw the manual, it was written firmly.
The free version is limited to XNUMX tracks.
The rest is generous that it can be used in the same way as the paid version.
(splendid!!)
Now it's easy to use, but it's super easy.
For the time being, let's compare the listening of one plug-in, Wet and Dry.
Advance preparation
Let's use Softube's Tape.
First, insert the Softube Tape into Mixer XNUMX.
Next, set the mixer routing settings.
Do the following:
I also prepared a video for the time being.
And the track to ring assigns mixer XNUMX.
Next, insert "HOFA 4U + Blind Test" into Mixer XNUMX and Mixer XNUMX.
I prepared a video here.
Now you are ready.
The "HOFA 4U + Blind Test" is excellent, so it recognizes the automatically inserted "HOFA 4U + Blind Test".
So if you insert two, you will see two as shown below.
This completes the settings.
Click the "SOLO" button to switch tracks.
Here, I tried to switch between "XNUMX" and "XNUMX" to make the effect easier to understand.
If you click "START", the order of the top and bottom will be changed at random, and you can perform a complete blind test.
Match the volume of the two tracks
It's easy to tell if the volume is different in the blind test.
However, "HOFA 4U + Blind Test" has a function that semi-automatically adjusts the volume difference between the two tracks.
It's easy to do, click "Show EBU Loudness" from "Settings".
Then, "Analyze" is displayed at the bottom of the screen, so play the sound and click it.
After a while, the analysis will be completed, so click "Compensate".
This will automatically adjust the volume.
In the following video, only the volume is changed and the "Loudness Compensation" function is used.
