Ok thanks for the replies everyone. I'll give it a shot and see what I come up with. I was hoping there was some plugin because I dont want it to sound cheesy...but we'll see!

Hi everyone. I'm looking to create the sound of a crowd chanting a name in a song I'm making. Is there any type of plug in or effect that could accomplish this? Specifically, you can hear what I'm looking for if you listen to Mike Jones song "mr jones". There is a crowd chanting his name at the...

Bump for one more try. ANYONE have an example they can show of what this clipping effect sounds like?

I dont have anything i'm working on. I was just reading a tutorial about clipping, and didn't really understand it. I was just saying, I really dont know what it sounds like when people are saying. "it adds excitement" so i was hoping someone had an example they could post.

anyone have any examples they can post?

Got it, thanks. So is "exciting", or clipping, or hard limiting used on most genres of music? or only certain kinds? I dont think I ever realized this was an effect. Does anyone have any examples of what it sounds like?

thanks for the replies.. I'm kinda ignorant still, but what do you mean by "llinear" and "curvy" Not sure what those are referring to.

I always thought clipping was when your mix overloads, goes into the red, and then you get those annoying cracks and pops. Is this so something different from that?

So I'm reading a guide to mixing I bought from computer music magazine, and it briefly mentions a technique some people use for limiting. It says, "there will be some people who like to clip the levels, as this acts as a form of hard limiting, and that increases the energy of the sounds" Then...

Honestly I doubt my ears are even trained enough to notice a difference, haha. I wouldn't even know what sounds to record. I probably just need to dive in, pick something, and start getting more practice before I waste too much time.

thanks for the suggestions so far. Anyone else have any?

Yeah, I borrowed a friend's mic to work on a recording. I forget the model now. It seemed to work fine for me, although.... .I dont have anything to compare it to. Plus i wouldn't know what I was looking for in terms of it sounding good or not. Like you said, experience would help, but I dont...

Nice! the room is untreated right now, but I DO plan on treating it soon. I have more research to do on that thought before i start anything. For now, i wanna get the mic so I can start working on some of these cubase tutorials :)

I'm going to be doing a lot of research and reading up on it as well, but I just thought I'd get a thread going in here too so I can get as much info as I can. I'm buying my first mic, that I'll mainly be using for hip hop vocals, and some singing. I record in a small room, something like 11 x...

thank you, thats what I needed. If anyone else knows the answer to my question about the chorus, let me know, thanks!
