Favorite Effects & Settings, etc.

Hello,
I have favorite effect settings for vocals & Logic instruments but am interested in mixing things up a bit and stepping out of the box. Then it occurred to me: maybe fellow users could share if they have any "go-to" effects, settings, instruments, etc.?
At the moment I'm specifically interested in what reverb and settings people are using on Logic drums (Indie Kit is a go-to for me for the kind of music I mostly do).
BTW, I may have missed it but I did a search and couldn't find a similar topic.
Thanks!

Hi Side,
That must be it -- people don't want to share. We're talking about a bunch of creative (and many insecure) folks in a very competitive industry.
It makes total sense. I guess I was a bit naive in people's motives. I wasn't trying to snake anything away, I just wanted to explore other options. Thanks for the insight.
I don't suppose you have found a good thread on when to use Mastering? On a song per song basis or on the ENTIRE completed CD?
I think I'll post a question and see what I can find out.
Take care & happy recording!

Exporting Favorite Effects

Working on another Final Cut Pro... Any way i can save my "favorite" effects and presets to an external drive and transfer them to my new fcp?

From: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2746464&#2746464
... this may help in the event of having to trash preferences, a hard drive crash, FCP upgrade, OS upgrade or just about any thing else that might happen:
1. create a new project file and give it a name that you'll remember ... like "Favorites"
2. import a clip - ANY clip. It won't have to remain online after this
3. place the clip on the Timeline
4. cut the clip up the same number of times as you have Favorite transitions. i.e.; if you have 12 favorite transitions, make 12 cuts. Place the transitions over the cuts
5. place your other favorites (filters, motion favs, etc) on the clips
6. save the project and make a backup copy to keep in a safe place
Whenever you upgrade, buy a new computer or otherwise lose your favorites, just open the "Favorites" project (clip will be offline but that doesn't matter), then double-click the clips one at a time to load them into the Viewer. From the filters tab, you can drag your favorites back into the Favorites Bin in the Browser. Do the same for transitions and motion favorites and you should be good to go.

MultiTrack: How to copy mute and effects settings and shift them forward an exact amount

I have mute and effects settings I need to shift forward.
Let's deal with mute on and off automations settings first: I recorded mute automation for instruments on multiple tracks. I need to keep the exact mute on/off settings for the second verse, so I need to shift them forward and start them at the beggining of a specific bar (the vocals have no settings that need shifting).
I need to copy the mute settings and apply them again at a certainbar of music. Is this possible?
I need to keep the original settings at the beginning of the track in place as well, so I can't grab and drag them unless it creates a copy and leaves the original mute settings in place.
Thank you greatly, I'm working multiple projects trying to get to them all in time.

Hello Crispin,
I'm definitely with you on the pain of making multiple tweaks just to make everything look the same. We do not currently have a way of copying properties, but if you have an idea for how you'd think it might work, we'd love to hear from you at:
http://ideas.adobe.com/ct/s.bix?c=DA4859AD-8934-4F93-983A-4219E2DD9275
where we are collecting ideas for future directions for Catalyst.
For now, I would suggest trying to factor similar portions into components as much as possible. For example, perhaps you could create an empty button with all of the effects you want (like the glow, sizing, etc), and then just create a component where that button is above the text and image for a specific button. That way, when you change the appearance of your single button component definition, the appearance will change for all of your buttons. If you got really carried away, you could even create a custom component where each of the states is a different image / text pair, and just set the state of that component for each instance on the artboard.

What's your Favorite Encoding Settings & Tags Question?

Happy Holidays folks,
I have some CD's to digitize. I am curious of the best way to do this ...
Q: What is your Favorite Encoding Settings for CD's for your desktop? IOS device?
ALSO...
TAGS with various formats...
Q: What encoding settings do YOU use for listening on mobile devices for CD digitization?
For me I am thinking that I will create 256 Stereo AAC files for IOS, but also then create .aif files to store for desktop players etc.
I didn't know that .aif's can store tag info....
It seems that .aif files can store the TAG info that come in through iTunes - but where is the info stored:
1 - right on the .aif file?
2 - just in iTunes database?
3 - just Spotlight?
4 - or ?????
If I copy the file to another hard drive on another computer - will it retain the tag info with aif?
I seems that when I try that save tag info with .wav format - that it doesn't store it - is that true?
I am curious to find out about tags with .aif - .wav etc.....
Also does Apple Lossless play on PC / Lynux?

My favorite? MP3 at 256.

Tag data is stored in the file. This includes information like Title, Artist, Year, etc.
Some of the data you see is library data, not tag data, and is stored in the iTunes library rather than in the individual song file. This includes things like Date Added, Last Played, Play Count, etc.
Also does Apple Lossless play on PC / Lynux?
Apple Lossless can play on a PC running iTunes for Windows. iTunes does not run on Linux, however.

Vocals-Your Favorite Effects?

I'm an experienced musician but new to recording software; who'd be willing to share their favorite effects to enhance a male solo vocal? I know how to add a little reverb but I'm wondering how to really warm up the vocal even if it is laying it on thick...

In addition to what's already been discussed - I do a lot of small project recording and found with vocals it's best to keep it simple. Assuming you've gotten a decent mic, performance, mic placement, mic technique, etc., I tend to use the Silver Reverb Default and drop it from 20% to about 15 or 10, depending on the other instrumentation. I also often use the Compression with the default setting. If I want to get a thicker sound, I'll double the track and leave one dry and one wet. I'll pan the dry one off center -+5. All this of course, is generic. I have no idea what type, genre of music you're referring to, what other instrumentation, effects, EQ, or what sound you're shooting for. Hope this helps.

How to enable COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc. panels for the custom components?

POSITION AND SIZE and COMPONENT PARMETERS are the only panels available for the custom components. Is there a way to configure the custom components or the Flash Pro itself to enable other panels (COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc.) that available for the Adobe UI components?

In Flash CS6, you'll need to place your component(compiled clips) inside a Movieclip symbol to apply these settings. In Flash CC, you may do so directly from the Properties panel like for any other movieclip symbol.
Let me know if you face issues.

How do I get loops to keep the effect settings I hear when previewing?

When I place loops into a new track, the effects settings go away and it is simply a dry signal. How can I move a loop from the browser into a new track and have it keep the effects settings that I hear when I preview the loop?

If you drag a green MIDI loop onto the Arrange window space, it should create a Software instrument track with all the required plug-ins for the sound, so don't drag it to an already existing Software instrument track.
If you drag it to an audio track it will convert it to an audio file, so obviously the instrument/fx plug-ins wont be in the channel strip.
If that's what you mean?

Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

My ipod was connecting to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my Itunes on my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've tried resetting the network settings etc... Nothing seems to work. Help!

My ipod (version 6.1.3) was connectiong to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my itunes via my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've uplugged my wireless network and reset my network settings etc... nothing seems to work. Please help!

Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
Many thanks for your help.
NIK

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

IOS 8.2 update resulted in the bottom of my 6plus phone screen (the wording below the 5 icons - favorites, recent, contacts, etc.) being cut off. Fix?

Hi there Melinda,
As I understand it, it seems like a part of the screen isn't visible at the bottom. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the iPhone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
I would next check to see if an Accessibility option enabled making the screen larger with iTunes:
Use Accessibility features in iOS
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Contact phone numbers show instead of contact names in phone favorites, text messages etc. How do I change it so their names show

Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

Issue with importing effects settings from 3.0 to CS5.5

Several times I've attempted to import effects settings from 3.0 into 5.5 using the 5.5 Import>Application Settings function. Each time it says that it is unable to do it because of some unknown error. Is there another way to import the settings? I'm in the middle of an album project in 3.0.1 and would like to try 5.5 with some of these existing sessions. I've used the SuiteSpot studios Ses2Sesx program to translate the session. It imports fine, but none of the effects or racks import. I very much want to be able to do that.

Hi Michael,
These effects are mostly external VSTs, but a few of them are native
(Parametric EQ). The program will just not import the settings .xml
file or the vstmanager settings .xml. The VSTs seemed to have been
found easily by the program. I have not yet gone through them all to
see if they will pop up.
Another interesting thing - when I installed AACS5.5 I lost the ability
to open AA 3.0.1. I had to reinstall 3.0.1 in order to be able to use it.
I'm not liking this program at all. I don't like the interface, the
GUI, or the navigation through the program.

Document Raster Effects Settings

How do I permanently change the default Document Raster Effects Settings from 72 ppi to 300 ppi in Illustrator CS2 for Windows XP?

Open the file called "Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai" located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Plug-ins. Make changes to the Document Raster Effects Settings & save the file, replacing the original file. Take a backup of the original file so that you can revert to it later on, if need be.
