Un buon manuale d’uso

Le regole impongono al rivenditore l'obbligo di fornire all'acquirente, insieme alle merci, il manuale d’uso Antares ATR-1a. La mancanza del manuale d’uso o le informazioni errate fornite al consumatore sono la base di una denuncia in caso di inosservanza del dispositivo con il contratto. Secondo la legge, l’inclusione del manuale d’uso in una forma diversa da quella cartacea è permessa, che viene spesso utilizzato recentemente, includendo una forma grafica o elettronica Antares ATR-1a o video didattici per gli utenti. La condizione è il suo carattere leggibile e comprensibile.

Che cosa è il manuale d’uso?

La parola deriva dal latino "instructio", cioè organizzare. Così, il manuale d’uso Antares ATR-1a descrive le fasi del procedimento. Lo scopo del manuale d’uso è istruire, facilitare lo avviamento, l'uso di attrezzature o l’esecuzione di determinate azioni. Il manuale è una raccolta di informazioni sull'oggetto/servizio, un suggerimento.

- istruzioni per l'uso, la regolazione e la manutenzione delle attrezzature Antares ATR-1a
- segnaletica di sicurezza e certificati che confermano la conformità con le norme pertinenti

Perché non leggiamo i manuali d’uso?

Generalmente questo è dovuto alla mancanza di tempo e certezza per quanto riguarda la funzionalità specifica delle attrezzature acquistate. Purtroppo, la connessione e l’avvio Antares ATR-1a non sono sufficienti. Questo manuale contiene una serie di linee guida per funzionalità specifiche, la sicurezza, metodi di manutenzione (anche i mezzi che dovrebbero essere usati), eventuali difetti Antares ATR-1a e modi per risolvere i problemi più comuni durante l'uso. Infine, il manuale contiene le coordinate del servizio Antares in assenza dell'efficacia delle soluzioni proposte. Attualmente, i manuali d’uso sotto forma di animazioni interessanti e video didattici che sono migliori che la brochure suscitano un interesse considerevole.

Perché leggere il manuale d’uso?

Prima di tutto, contiene la risposta sulla struttura, le possibilità del dispositivo Antares ATR-1a, l'uso di vari accessori ed una serie di informazioni per sfruttare totalmente tutte le caratteristiche e servizi.

    7 A few wor ds fr om Dr . Andy I remember , as if it were yesterday , sitting in my junior high school band, happily playing away on my flute, when I noticed that our conductor was screaming and jumping up and down on the podium.

    9 Chapter 1: Intr oducing the A TR-1a Some backgr ound In 1997, Antares first introduced the ground-breaking Auto-T une Pitch Correcting Plug-In for ProT ools™ (followed a bit later by the VST and stand-alone versions). Here was a tool that actually corrected the pitch of vocals and other solo instruments, in real time, without distortion or arti[...]

    10 A little bit about pitch Pitch is typically associated with our perception of the “ highness ” or “ lowness ” of a particular sound. Our perception of pitch ranges from the very general (the high pitch of hissing steam, the low pitch of the rumble of an earthquake) to the very specific (the exact pitch of a solo singer or violinist). The[...]

    11 Pitches are often described relative to one another as intervals, or ratios of frequency . For example, two pitches are said to be one octave apart if their frequencies differ by a factor of two. Pitch ratios are measured in units called cents. There are 1200 cents per octave. For example, two tones that are 2400 cents apart are two octaves apar[...]

    12 How the A TR-1a corr ects pitch The A TR-1a works by continuously tracking the pitch of an input sound and comparing it to a user-defined scale. The scale tone closest to the input is continuously identified. If the input pitch exactly matches the scale tone, no correction is applied. If the input pitch varies from the desired scale pitch, an ou[...]

    13 An example As an example, consider this before-and-after graphic representation of the pitch of a vocal phrase that contains both vibrato and expressive gestures. In the original performance, we can see that although the final note should be centered around D, the vocalist allowed the tail of the note to fall nearly three semitones flat. The “[...]

  • Pagina 14

    14 If a performance is quite close to begin with and only requires minor correction (i.e., never more that 50 cents), it ’ s often sufficient to simply choose the Chromatic scale, set Speed to about 10 and leave it there. If you are working in the studio to correct an already recorded track, you might use Program Mode to deal with the track one s[...]

    15 Chapter 2: Setting Up the A TR-1a Setting up the A TR-1a is a very straightforward. 1. Find a suitable location. The A TR-1a is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. 2. Confirm that the included power supply is correct for the electricity in your part of the world. If you are not sure, or the power supply has a plug that i[...]

    16 An Important Note About Monitoring: If the A TR-1a is used to pitch- correct an artist ’ s performance in real time, it is ver y important that the performer is able to monitor their original signal, not the pitch-corrected signal. T rying to react musically to the processed signal will drive them crazy and, in most cases, drive them farther o[...]

    26 This phrase is in D Major and, if all the pitch errors were no greater than about 49 cents, would work fine with a standard D Major scale (D, E, F  , G, A, B, C  ).
