Michael Berry suggests a way of measuring Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) using plug-ins in Pro Tools and as it is a detailed tip we said we would post it separately….

Just a few years ago every studio had  some basic test equipment including a distortion analyser.  That seems to be the exception rather than the rule these days.  A distortion analyser can be very handy to have around.  One common use is to adjust bias and balance after replacing tubes in a guitar amplifier. It is possible to create a distortion analyser with free/bundled plug-ins.  The residual distortion will be limited by the quality of the interface used but these days that is more than adequate for most studio uses.

A podcast extra interview for Pro Tools Expert with Michael Carnes of Exponential Audio. You might not have heard of Michael but you will certainly have heard his work. He was a designer at Lexicon and worked on iconic units like the PCM80, 90 and the 960L before moving on to the Lexicon plug-ins.

More recently he has decided to do his own thing and set up Exponential Audio and has already released two reverb plug-ins Phoenixverb and R2. We will be reviewing his plug-ins very soon and also giving you the opportunity to win one them in a competition.
