    Mixdown session - limiter questions

    no, the best advise is never to listen to you. I figured it out on my own and my only mistake was explaining it to you or whatever it is you do or think you know what your doing.

    Mixdown session - limiter questions

    I found the solution finally. My eq on my master bus was great in headphones and monitors I thought at the time and tried the "kick" preset and sounded 5 times better. I also raised all the track levels way up and in the master I would lower it so the peaks would be in between -6 and -3. Never...

    Mixdown session - limiter questions

    Couple of things (adobe audition). Keeping the mulititrack in the -6 to -3 range I've been making tests of cd's on my mixdowns doing different things. I've been importing a mild use of a multiband compressor which helps clarity, hiss reduction, messing around with the channel mixer and the...

    What is matrixed stereo?

    Can someone in layman's terms explain that this is? I been fooling around with Adobe's channel mixer on the mixdown and was trying some of these settings. There is a couple of "matrix stereo" settings and aside from the phase changed a little it seemed the sound seems much more up front which is...

    adobe audition cs6

    I found this program for many things a burden on some issues compared to Cool Edit Pro and this was one of them. Fixing that took some research on the web but even more of a burden is every time I change recording inputs the program freezes or does nothing and have to restart it. I had none of...

    Mixdown questions

    Tips have been helpful and my cd sample I made is far from perfect but is wayyy better now!:thumbs up: I do have to ask the guy above though this: 3. Resample - Did that to 44000 4. Dither for 16 bit - Did both of these and resampled at the same time. I guess I have to ask why should I do...

    Mixdown questions

    Interesting. I've been using Nero to burn cd's so perhaps it is converting it from 24 to 16? Perhaps I should just be saving as 16 in the first place. My sample rate is at 96000. I wasn't messing around with that and never occurred to me about the sampling frequency. Makes me now wonder what...

    Mixdown questions

    Hello, I'm using Adobe Audition Cs6 and doing test runs onto cd. First thing I found out is my recording is in 32 bit and was not able to burn it onto a cd unless it was 24. Maybe someone can explain to me why that is. Second thing I noticed in the saved settings something called "dithering"...

    What exactly is a exciter?

    As a former musician/guitarist that got back into making music after a 10 year drought I was caught up a little on mastering processing using compression and limiting and having a decent understanding of that after some studying. Mastering in general does take a degree in music or an individual...

    setting the panning on guitars

    I've been reading about how recording in mono into a computer and before was doing it all wrong with stereo and on my last demo was mixing it 100% on my guitars left for one guitar and 100% for right guitar. Other instruments used are a keyboard, acoustic guitar, organ and drum programming in...

    Adobe Audition level indicatiors don't work?

    Fixed it. Saw a post on where a guy opened a new session and was working. I somehow corrupted it and had to reimport it back from cool edit.

    Adobe Audition level indicatiors don't work?

    I've tried to do some internet searches on this and found really nothing. I don't know what I did but out of the blue my level monitor levels are not working. They were 2 days ago, don't know what I did but it would start up for a second, stall and go away.Some other threads on other sites same...

    Recovering a session that has crashed

    I just got Adobe Audition trying to make a more advance recording then Cool Edit Pro could offer so hope this doesn't happen to me. Cool Edit used to crash on me from time to time but always would recover with "continue session". One thing Cool Edit was picky about was the noise reduction. Start...

    Is it possible to upload sessions of Cool Edit into Audition?

    I know that Syntrillium was bought out by Adobe (sucks) and love Cool Edit Pro. The only reason I wanted to try Adobe Audition was this multiband compressor and it is nice. I got to say messing around with it is not as user friendly as Cool Edit but I guess I need to work in it. I had already...

    First post, have a question on mics and recording guitars/vocals and mono recordings

    Hello, I've been recording demos for my own pleasure last 12 some years. Strange, metal experimental prog I guess I would call it. After a 10 year break I made my first album recording onto Cool Edit Pro. I was getting used to that program now learned much about mastering. I also learned on the...
