Topic: [AES] Celemony Capstan

[battery]

Celemony Software is presenting a new music restoration program at the AES in London.

 
Capstan is designed to remove wow and flutter from musical recordings – whether on tape, compact cassette, wax, shellac or vinyl. Capstan detects wow and flutter by analyzing the musical material itself, so the medium is of no relevance.
According to Celemony, the Capstan algorithm is capable of recognizing minute amounts of wow and flutter as well as continuous speed variations within the musical material itself, and makes possible detailed editing that extends to drawing in the curve manually. It is based on the DNA Direct Note Access used in program Melodyne.

Capstan is hardware-independent, runs as a stand-alone application under standard 64-bit operating systems (Windows or Mac OS) and handles all commonly encountered two-track formats, the company says.

 

Availability

Capstan will be released in mid June 2011, and a demo version will be made available at the same time on the Celemony website.
