Virtual pre-amplifier and effects system and methods for customizing and using the same in live performances

摘要

The technology in one embodiment includes an audio-processing unit, for processing an input audio signal using a pre-established audio feature. The unit includes a processor, an audio-device input in operative communication with the processor, and a system-user interface being in operative communication with the processor. The unit also includes a computer-readable medium being in operative communication with the processor and comprising a tone-manipulation component and computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations include presenting, using the system-user interface, a graphical-user-interface (GUI) display including an identifier associated with the tone-manipulation component, receiving, from the system-user interface, a user signal indicating a user selection of the tone-manipulation component from the GUI display, receiving the input audio signal from the audio-device input, and manipulating, using the tone-manipulation component, the input audio signal, yielding a manipulated signal.
