I Want Great Recordings...

[chrisharris]

I have this "Adobe Audition" thingy, and I want to record stuff that's really great.

What presets should I use?

The one that takes you back to CEP

Try this linkCompressor Settings For EVERY SONG!

I use it all the time since all my songs have the same levels and are recorded perfectly the same everytime.

Have a nice day

Compressor Settings For EVERY SONG!

Wow...THANKS!!!!

(by the way, the fact that they included the threshold settings, lmao...yeah, that'll work.)

 

[dobro]

Yeah, compress the shit out of everything. Then crank the master gain and after that hard limit everything that doesn't want to fit. Normalize. You'll know you've succeeded when the waveform is a solid mass with no background.

Look under:
Edit view
Effects
Amplify
Texas
Harris
Chis
and select the talent option........
There's the "Willie Nelson" or the "OASIS" pre-set.........

Just my luck. No Django Reinhardt preset. Story of my fucking life. I don't know why I keep buying this stuff...

where do you actually go in and set the compressor settings in CEP? I can't find where you set it exactly.... PLZ help, I have a recording session in 2 hours.

a muzzle?































just kidding man


I would have to hear the singer and I am a newbie at this stuff myself....
Good luck man,
Joe

 

[Jhae]

LOL @ muzzle...haha. I hear ya, I'm fairly new too. This place has been REALLY helpful thus far, I've just been lurking soaking it all in.

 

[chrisharris]

a muzzle?

That made me laugh...I mean, you eventually whimped out with the "I'm kidding" stuff, but until that, it was perfect, lol.







Now, what's the BEST reverb for vocals??

 

[FattMusiek]

I think everyone's left me in the dust...I haven't upgrade and I seriously don't think I will...

 

[Jhae]

Okay, here's what the results sound like with the help you guys provided us with.

I think it sounds much better than before.
Let me know what you think.

 

[matty_boy]

Me Too. I am happy with CEP2

I guess I'll be one of the "old-timers" from now on, just posting newbie ilk over on the adobe forum until they give up the ghost and DONATE the source code to me, lol.

[SOUND DIAGNOSIS]

"Great recordings". Hmm. Quality or content? Let's go the quality route. Lot's of real estate to cover here. I will say that I have heard countless examples of crapola quality- wise made recordings engineered with all the "heavy hitters" in the equipment world.
Many of these condescending, self righteous, high-end fuckheads that occasionally make a point of downing CEP/AA are nieve to the power of this program and they are plain snobs.
That out of the way and getting back to the thread topic, LISTENING and being able to correct your mixes/mastering as you go, is the ONLY way you personally will be able to achieve great recordings, REGARDLESS of equipment. (Unless you really have a rig that is shite). CEP/AA is a wonderful more-than-basic "music making" tool that in the right hands can produce air-worthy records NO SWEAT, including mastering....yes MASTERING. Someone DARE to dispute that, give me a cogent reason and I will respond. ---Lee

P.S. Regarding presets, some I use, most I don't. Especially reverbs. I like to especially tailor those.

Lol...I agree with everything you said; but just in case there's any confusion, my post was a little on the sarcastic side, lol.

Be well,
