I second this! I've been experimenting with Ecasound with fairly good
results, but shared hints & tips would be greatly appreciated.
I have been experimenting with the preset effects (by copying them
verbatim to my chainsetup -- how does one use a preset as a preset?),
and while some of them are self-explanatory, some have fairly complex
set of parameters that are now easily deductable.
I am particularly looking for the following:
- A compressor/limiter preset for mic-recorded vocals
- A noise gate for the same
- An EQ setup for the same (baritone male voice)
Also, I seem to be unable to amplify the final mixdown to the level of
other PCM sources (e.g. MP3s, WAVs) without clipping. This is a bit
annoying as I have to crank the volume up to listen to my own crap,
and as soon as I switch to the the Guano Apes MP3s my speakers blow. I
assume that this is due to the wide range of dynamics in my synth
backgrounds, and I think a limiter would do a good job here also. Does
anyone have good tips on applying a limiter/compressor to a mix of
instruments?
Thanks,
-Sami
