In close collaboration with FideliQuest Incorporated, FiDef JENtwo is a 64 bit audio plug–in that provides a unique psychoacoustic addition to any audio content, including speech, music and effects. FiDef JENtwo enhances and elevates, without altering 1770 Loudness or power spectrum, by acting directly on the listener’s subconscious.
Better By Design
FiDef is a wholly new tool for your audio toolbox. FiDef’d audio doesn’t measure louder and the power spectrum is not changed. In fact, there’s only the addition of what seems to be a veil of added noise. That noise is what’s special, it’s the FiDef signal massaging your subconscious.
The Science
Supported by sophisticated research into how the human brain processes sound, FiDef informs the listener’s auditory system of music’s full potential. Independent research has shown that the brain response between FiDef and untreated audio is significant to 99%. Because the subtle effects of subaudible supplementation are modeled in the brain over time with familiarization, listeners unaccustomed to FiDef might not hear the difference immediately. Studies indicate that the brain uses inverse effectiveness to process FiDef’d music with less effort, in effect hearing more by working less. Hear more than you think.
Grounded firmly in experimentation and analysis, FiDef technology can increase definition, detail, intelligibility, soundstage width and depth and, most important, the emotional engagement of the listener. In short, with FiDef processing, your audio sounds better, without any change to workflows or delivery methods, even on data–compressed file types and older or low–fi playback gear.
You may think you “know” how FiDef works, but you’re probably wrong. It’s simple if baffling in concept, complex in execution, and surprising in its results.
What FiDef Is Not…
- analog emulation, simulation or modeling
- chorusing
- data or frequency repacking
- distortion generation or harmonic manipulation
- dithering
- dynamics processing
- echo
- encoding/decoding
- equalization
- flanging
- frequency or amplitude modulation
- masking
- vocoded noise
- noise cancellation or control
- resampling
- resynthesis
- time domain modification
- wave field synthesis
Your audience will feel their music like never before, but that’s not all…
- Mixing: improve definition of individual mix elements
- Mastering: bring out the best of each project
- Broadcast: production & post
- Game Audio: enhance envelopment
- Advertisement: raise brand awareness & boost “stickiness”
- Forensics: improve intelligibility
- Sound Design: “spotlight” individual elements
- Restoration: broaden spatiality
FiDef JENtwo provide five profiles, each for a different effect. To make it easier to mentally map each Profile to something less abstract and more intuitive, you can rename them to taste…
- TRUCKN: subtle sweetening (the default)
- TRUCKN HUSH: a lower perceived amplitude version of TRUCKN for isolated or wide dynamic range content
- SUTRO: draws your attention to frequencies above 8 kHz, resulting in a widened soundstage with accentuation of transient detail
- RESNO: points the listener toward the upper mids, resulting in added texture to vocals and other instruments
- EVOSE: with warm forwardness, this Profile builds on RESNO and turns it up to 11
