Manufacturer: TC ELECTRONICS Platform: Hybrid Includes both a Mac and Windows version of the program.

The Character™ algorithm is based on a fundamentally different approach to audio processing. Conventional tools simply modify the frequency intensity or dynamic structure of the source material, without analyzing its contents prior to processing. This makes the audio processing with such tools a job for specialists, requiring a lot of engineering expertise in order to get the desired result. The Character™ technology overcomes this significant limitation and brings a truly intuitive approach, which offers instant gratification.  
 
The latest scientific research in digital signal processing and psychoacoustics has led to the birth of this innovative effect. The Character™ algorithm is based on Noveltech's Intelligent Adaptive Filtering (IAF) technology. The processing affects both the frequency response and dynamic properties of the input material in a highly time varying sense. When processing an audio source, the Character™ algorithm intelligently identifies and enhances the characteristics that are pleasing to the human auditory system. One example of such characteristics is the time related attack and decay properties of the signal transients. The processing is non-linear and highly dependent on the source material's original content, aiming on enhancing the perceivably favored characteristics that derives from the original musical instrument or voice.  
 
Basic audio processing tools such as EQs and compressors involve a large number of technical parameters, which have to be set to correct values in order to get the desired result. The Character™ intelligently enhances the relevant characteristics found in the source, working across a complex set of connected parameters, and not only boosting e.g. one specific frequency. This innovative approach allows users to get to the desired results much faster, as only three parameters need tweaking!
