Trying to find a split harmonizer plugin for ProTools LE - so far the closest thing I got is Ultra Pitch by Waves - any other ideas?

Yeah - If you are interested in hearing and seeing how people get a pro sound in the DAW world - you have to check it out. People with less than an PT HD system have to be a bit creative to get similar results due to processing power and plug in resources, but it isn't impossible. Charles is...

This has happened to me inexplicably. I equate it to the interrupts or a glitch in the system while triggering certain plug-ins. For instance, I was switching a Waves plug-in to another plug-in while playing the track in question. Next thing I know my ears are fried. I am sure there is a...

My MILAR DVD came in and I spent the weekend watching it - about 2 times -then jumping to sections that interested me the most. To preface this review, let me say that I have had experience recording and mixing in a major studio on a SSL - not as an engineer but as an artist. I know what a...

The dyn feature can be used as listed before - making a track inactive so that later you can activate it and tweak it - or disable it during a mix to free up voicing for more tracks. I have been using this during sessions to concentrate on my active tracks. The stem mixing is another way of...

Rock. I think Sushimon is on with that. I have disabled tracks during recording to keep CPU low - but I haven't made that a dynamic part of the mix. I may do that when I mix down so things stay fluid. I pretty much have the same config - ProTools LE + MBOX.

So I could submix my drums - bounce them to a stereo track - and leave the individual tracks "off" so that they won't tax the processor? That way I can have them available in the session if the need arises to go back and edit them? I think that's what you are saying.

that "dyn" button is the freeze feature?

ProTools LE - MBox hardware. My computer is pretty fast - but the more plugins the more processor intensive it becomes. I don't know if ProTools LE has freeze?

You leave the drums as individual tracks? What are the other submixes you do?

Figured as much. Is this a pretty common practice?

Ok - I am thinking about putting my drums down to a stereo track as a submix. They sound good now - compression, placement, verb. Anything that I should keep in mind before doing this? If my mix changes, I suppose I will have to redo the drum session and do another submix. I just need to...

I only use headphones when recording parts - guitars etc. And when I am writing. The ones I have are decent just way too bass-ey. And if I start mixing with them, I find I have to re - eq everything when listened to through the monitors. As they are saying above, better to not use them for...

My copy should be here on Thursday. I have heard several people rave about it and others say it isn't all that. As to editing style - I saw enough in the preview to see why some people find it hard to watch. I am in production - so I can why/how they did the video in that style. Hoping...

Thanks for the tips! Yeah - When I recorded my old band's EP at Luminous Sound, we put all the drums and guitars to a Studer reel - made things sound very rich without being obvious - I guess that is the beauty of tape compression. Everything went to master on 2 reels as well. Do you think...

So the full version is tits? Ok. I didn't know it had the RTAS compatibility. Every channel huh? I was going to throw it on the stereo mixdown bus and see if it helped.

Is there an alternative if it blows that badly?

I am thinking about getting the LE versions. Anyone else use these? Do they really improve the quality of your overall mix?

I think I may just stick to using it for a mastering plug in.

I threw the Izotope Ozone 3 plugin on a vocal track and used the Vocal treatment preset - it sounds pretty good. However, it makes the track latent by a second or two. I think it may have something to do with the Harmonizer section. Anyone explore this issue or is this native to using a...
