sonatus multicompressor presets

[lopie]

has anyone made any sense out of the presets- the help screen would have been more useful if it shared a little bit of phylosophy (sp?) about the different preset structures (why they were constucted that way) and how you use the bands "properely"

I haven't read the helpfile/manual myself, but a good written manual should explain all that... I've never come across preset-explanations in the manual.

I agree with Moskus. I don't remember a seperate help file for these plug ins, but if you open it in Sonar and click on "Help"...a help file pops up which explains each control. Also, most presets are guidelines or templates that have to be tailored to your particular material. Finally, a multiband compressor is not the easiest thing to use IMHO. I wouldn't go to it unless you have a pretty good understanding of EQing and Dynamics (compressors, limiters, gates and expanders.) But the help files are pretty clearly written.

Take Care

Trial and error is the key here. Load a track up and go through the presets to see what they do. I make a note of each preset characteristic so that I can return to it for a starting point and adjust accordingly.

When you have the required result save it as a preset of your own.

thanks

i guess i'm not alone -the interesting ones are the "6db" it looks like it compresses the middle volumes then lets go - i wish the creator of these presets would be proud enough to brag about his (or her) creations.
by the way are there any good books on multi compressors
