How chorus creates a thicker sound

Chorus blends a source with slightly delayed, modulated copies. Its motion comes from changing timing and pitch relationships between those copies. A dedicated chorus processor usually controls rate, depth and the balance between the original and processed signal.

Prepare and finish the clip

  1. Edit the timing and remove unwanted parts before adding the effect.
  2. Export a WAV working copy to a processor that includes chorus.
  3. Return the processed audio to MP3 Editor for Free, compare its level with the original and finish the boundaries with a trim or fade.

What you can do in this release

MP3 Editor for Free provides Delay, Reverb, stereo-width adjustment and mixing tools, but no dedicated chorus effect. These tools offer useful changes to space and balance without pretending to be chorus modulation.

Check the result in context

A thick sound can mask another part in a mix. Listen to the complete passage and check that the voice or melody remains easy to follow.
