Wie findest du Logic / Pro Tools?

[schehf]

@Olli120

kam für uns nicht in Frage, da Mac only.

Aber beide Programme können Dinge die Cubase nicht kann.

Pro Tools wird aber am besten weiterentwickelt.

Hey, I could use some pro help :)

Is there any compressor software I could use, to limit the mic from going above 0dB, for when the singer "shouts", so the sound gets compressed, and wont clip..

I know I didnt explain too well, but I think you will understand.

And if there is any plugin like this, could you point out wich one?

[schehf]

You have to gain it done before recording.

When the interface distorts because you are over 0db, it can't be changed for good.

compressor or limiter for singing are common.

I use the URS 1980. expensive, but worth it.

[TheseFatalDays]

where can you get effect plugins? i use cakewalk music creator 2003, though.

[schehf]

You can get them at any music store.

[stevebee7]

can someone help please, i want to do a sort of shutting down effect, sorry i dont know the technical name for it but the effect makes it sound like the music has just failed or shut down half way through recording. any tips would be greatly appreciated!

@THEAMAZINGVIDEO I am trying to build my HOME studio and i want to ask you some questions.

First i have a Pc, soundcard for recording, cubase 5 and recently got my krk studio monitors. In most videos i see there's always a mixer. The point is that i don't want to rec many instruments together. Do i need it for another purpose?

Now i want to rec el guitar using vst let's say guitar rig but i want to manually control the effects let's say wah. What do i need to get? (Expression pedal maby?)

[THEAMAZINGVIDEO]

what kind of program is this?

[milkwayusa]

Would you please help me ? .

I use built-in drums from my sinth. and

I 've got some issues: Drums set sounds so good, however, after being recorded into my DAW, it looses some details. Is it normal ? To fix this, I open the DAW and disable its EQ even though I did'nt touch it while recording..After that, the drums sound better but there's clipping as result.. What do you suggest me to fix this issue ? The sinth's built in drums are originally factory made and set under any processors ?

[pastryhat]

what i always do (expesially working in digital) is get your singer to shout as loud as they can before you record, and make sure you have your preamps, and daw set so that the signal is just under distorting or clipping. then you can fool around with compressors and effects with the track after you've recorded to make it fit with the mix.

[BjerkeRobin]

you can also use a compressor as an envelope designer. By manipulating the attack and release times you can decide how much of the attack comes through, making it louder after the make up gain, or you can have a very short release time and let the release through, giving the snare f.ex more ring and less snap after make up gain.

Compressors are wonderful tools, just play around and have fun.

[BjerkeRobin]

As schehf says, when the signal has been recorded, the clip is already in there (clip is when the software deletes data because it's too loud) Tell your vocalist to shout as loud as he will in the song, and gain the input on the micpre accordingly. I usually give between 10dB headroom, so the peak will be -10dB
