It's a device designed to randomly delay or advance audio clips in Live by a small amount, though it should work in other hosts too. There are only two parameters: Early/late base: sets a kind of base delay for the audio. Random delay: represents the amount of random delay that is added to the Early/late base value. The random delay value is re-generated each time the incoming audio drops to digital silence, so it works well for 'monosyllabic' audio clips separated by empty space (if the device is preceded by a plugin that adds a tail to the sound, such as a reverb, the random delay value might not be recalculated before the following sound begins). Here's a video to give a quick idea of how it works. Here I've duplicated a track containing a pattern of drum hits and applied the Auto Audio Humanizer to the duplicate track. You can hear a phasing effect when the displacement is very small, and a more distinct repeat when it is large. <object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-1467e7eb94189076" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqgAAAJRKzAPfu3a7ks9WIkYJqTFedFKX3vfDt7aDRkasWmcOOZ72dx032eeA5_sD2usoUELeBeiaivAbyEV5EZpu-XQ5JQeX0z1-MFz-Ku335HKl7OObG-RcgmvzasH4KWK-mq4KEr1IOqZ1L88bOnMhzAR97oMOkt7IuGfp8nmfyV8HKitfC1LfpyvMcGH7T5z5lalCpZm96Q5PP1Jjyofj3qr8r_nsqTwquYgzv57ntELa%26sigh%3DG4wWhXcNK4vfznznv8E2aCEY_EA%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D1467e7eb94189076%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D9r4-1sJ2JhymQucMPgefORf1phI&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqgAAAJRKzAPfu3a7ks9WIkYJqTFedFKX3vfDt7aDRkasWmcOOZ72dx032eeA5_sD2usoUELeBeiaivAbyEV5EZpu-XQ5JQeX0z1-MFz-Ku335HKl7OObG-RcgmvzasH4KWK-mq4KEr1IOqZ1L88bOnMhzAR97oMOkt7IuGfp8nmfyV8HKitfC1LfpyvMcGH7T5z5lalCpZm96Q5PP1Jjyofj3qr8r_nsqTwquYgzv57ntELa%26sigh%3DG4wWhXcNK4vfznznv8E2aCEY_EA%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D1467e7eb94189076%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D9r4-1sJ2JhymQucMPgefORf1phI&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object> If you'd like to use the plugin, do the following: 1.
