Since your main project is building a home recording studio, did you include it in your plan regarding selecting a high quality audio interface with a great sounding pre-amp? I would spend a lot of time carefully selecting this piece of gear as it can have strong impact on the quality of the...

This is probably a combination of several effects. First the mid freq of vocals are boosted, low end cut like this eq setting: Boost +3.0dB 1000Hz (Adjust the +3dB boost to taste) Cut -6dB 300Hz low shelf (Adjust the -6dB cut to taste) Then the output of this EQ is then feed to a...

This is what I've read from troubleshooting VST plugins in Adobe site: Troubleshoot effects plug-ins for VST and DirectX (Adobe Audition) Note: If a plug-in fails the first time, then Adobe Audition will not read it again and subsequently will list it as unsupported. You can check choose...

How about trying to get the best vocal recording first before using any plugins. Based on my experience, even though I have the best set of plugins, it cannot be used to fix a poorly recorded vocals. And if you are sure you have great vocal recordings, you can rely less on vocal effects and yet...

There are 3 possible issues here: 1.) Noise in your vocals - do you notice it, those hiss and pops? 2.) Your vocals are not mixed well with the rest of the music- this is an audio mixing issue. 3.) Distortion in your vocals- you have improperly recorded your vocals and that results to a lot of...

One of my personal songwriting process involves working with a studio such as these steps: 1.) I start with a musical instrument like a guitar . If I wrote a great riff or passage.. 2.) I then load up some sample electronic drum tracks that acts as timing or rhythm... 3.) I play together with...

You have great hardware specs but I suggest you will check the following: 1.) Check if DMA has been enabled. If this is off, it will significantly affect your recording session. 2.) Check if your hard drive is not faulty. Some drives particularly if they have file system problem can...

I mean that's odd. You mean an "external hard drive"? The drive letters can change. Its probably because you moved files from one directory to another or from one drive to another. I have tried this before. For example, I create a session and I save the audio files in E:\ , now I moved the...

Yes, an audio interface such as listed in this page: Audio Interfaces | Sweetwater.com would be helpful to route your recorded audio directly to the computer. I cannot recommend a specific audio interface as a lot of factors would be involved in the buying decision. I recommend instead to...

Before my computer hard drive crashed. I was lucky to backup it using my original hard drive image. So what I did is buy a new hard drive and restore the image. After that , the entire Adobe Audition settings, presets, files and directories and required plug-ins remains intact. I recommend to...

First, make sure you have the proper gear and your settings are right. For a start, as long as you are not recording using onboard soundcard and you will be fine. Try doing an acoustic recording with vocals, I have some illustration in this page and maybe it can help. It uses Adobe Audition and...

Personally I use Adobe Audition.
