What exactly is audiotrack? What does it do?

Have you read the manual at all? At all?!?
Sjane said:
It is obvious you are brand new to recording, and there is no shame in that. But the problem is, you haven't had a chance to learn enough to even ask a question that is answerable.
Your questions are a lot like:
"What is the best color to paint my house."
"I want a girlfriend. Which one do I pick?"
"What is the best car to drive?"
"I'm hungry, what is the best food to eat?"
In all these cases, including the questions you actually asked, there is no answer, because the answer will be completely different depending on hundreds of variables which haven't been defined.
There is no best food, best color, or best car... because the answer will be different for each person's unique taste and for each unique situation. For that exact same reason, there is no "best plug-in" or universal plug-in setting.

No, but it's probably too complicated for someone without the manual.

This may be off topic, but reading this thread once again reminded me that there is no "easy button" (sorry Staples) for recording, mixing, mastering, using plug-ins in general, etc. I have to admit, at one time I was guilty of this. I started out analog and did indeed use some guidelines when twisting the knobs, but that stuff got burned in and in a lot of cases became automatic. When I first jumped into DAW based recording, I was constantly on the lookout for the "ultimate" EQ setting, the "best" ratio/attack/release for vox, etc. etc. etc. Was I really doing anything different than the old analog days? Not really, just the knobs were now pictures on a monitor and not a physical thing I could grab (I do everything in the box - soon to change). If you look at the world as we know it now (or at least my view of it), just about everyone has a computer of some sort. They get the "itch" to record their music, run to Guitar Center or Sam Ash and buy a $150 audio interface that comes with a free copy of Cubase lite and *poof* instant multitrack studio. I may be dating myself, but I remember the analog days where if you could buy a decent desk and multitrack for under $7500 you were lucky... never mind outboard gear, mic's, monitors, etc. Now you can basically buy a turnkey "recording studio" for less than $1000. In the "old days", if you were going to drop the cash on equipment you HAD to know what the hell you were doing. Now it's more of a "buy it and figure it out later" mentality. So enough rambling from the whacky old guy in NJ... here's the steps on how to get THE setting for whatever it is you're trying to set:
1. Understand what the hell it does (or is supposed to do) in the first place. This means RTFM.
2. Listen to your track
3. Listen to a track from a band you like in the same genre
4. Listen to your track again
5. Turn the little knobs - be they on a physical device or computer screen - until your track sounds good to you. If it sounds good, it is good.
6. Forget about finding an "Easy Button" on recording forums.
Off my soapbox....

For vocal processing, I use C1 Comp, L1 eq and sometimes Rverb.

HI!
I read about this product in the net with good review. so i decided to give it a try (the only try). Cant buy the platinum bundle too expensive. I got the gold native bundle.
I am using windows pc, cubase, yamaha mg8/2fx, sm57 and creative E-MU 0404. No vocal booth yet, but the room is small and wall is padded with thick fabric act as wallpaper
.
I'm trying to process vocal alone (speech only w/o music) and ofcourse the singing part.
I want to have that airy thick vocal. Not like it is recorded in a tape recorder.
I have read the manual but the further I read the more i get confused. There are so much in the plugin saying about the same thing.
give me time to reply I'm in a different time zone. It's 13hrs different.

LMFFAO.
It's posts like this that keep me coming back, I love the comedy (and it's actually 100% accurate as far as the answers). Some of the drama I could do without, but it's all part of the package I guess.

Why the hell would you need a vocal booth for a SM57?

"Oh, God, Baby! That's it... Yeah! Just like that honey! Oh, Oh. Jesus... You're SOOO Big! Oh... Oh... It's so good, so good... Oh... Oh...AhEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
...in all his recordings.
