Finding good plugin settings

After purchasing Logic Pro, I was surprised the setting choices that came with plugins (EQ, Space Designer, etc...) were not very realistic. A Piano in a Space Designer "Piano Concert Hall" sounds more like it's in outer space. The EQ setting for piano also sounds muffled and unrealistic. I've been able to play around with the settings to make them more realistic, but I was wondering if there is a forum somewhere where people post their plugin settings. It would be nice to share in all the hard work it takes to fine-tune these settings.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I did take the time to visit the spamgourmet site and have to say it really sounds like a great idea!
But anyway yes, we welcome all of your Logic presets: plug-ins, channel strips, Environments or song templates... and we already have about 40 of those files posted by members. I'd actually like to hear your enhanced piano sound preset.

About finding good compression settings to email clips

Hi all,
I want an easy way to email something I'm working on, usually anything upto 60sec.
Copying some of settings the edit assistants use to email to clients here's whast I'm doing:
Aiming for end size of clip to be near to but not much more than 5MB.
Use Sor 3 at 426x240 (for 16:9)
22.050 16bit mono audio
I thought I could use these settings for all clips, then I could limit the size for different durations by changing the data rate.
I thought if I divide 5000 by the number of seconds of the clip it would give me a data rate in K/sec that would then keep the size around 5MB.
I wondered if I've got all this right? or if anyone had any other tips?
Doing some tests I found 60sec @85 K/sec gave 4.9MB which sounds about right.
But 60sec @ 250 K/sec gave 8.3MB which is less than I thought. (the edit assistants tell me they often use 250 K/sec for 60sec and get 5MB!?)
Can anyone explain this to me?
As I say, the aim of all this is to able to quickly work out settings that will produce an emailable QT.
Cheers

Forget it.... I know this sounds harsh, but it's the only honest answer. CoDecs that use variable bitrate allocation, variable temporal spans and multiple levels of spatial compression are literally mathematically unpredictable - you don't know the result until you have run the clip through the algorithm. The effective data rate too much depends on the picture content. That's why in encoders it is always called "target bitrate", not final output bitrate. Only CoDecs that use fixed matrices, regular intervals and clearly structured visual compression algorithms can be calculated such as MPEG-2 and H.264, but even there is always a minor variability and uncertainty. It may not be convenient, but testing out settings for each clip is pretty much the only way, if you need to achieve a specific file size. As a rule of thumb you could base your guesstimates one third below the desired size/ data rate, i.e. if you need 5MB files, target your settings at 3.5MB.

Still cant find good export settings for clean blacks/fades...

I have been a professional videographer for years now working full time and STILL dont have default export settings that will give me nice clean footage. If its just straight footage without any fades to black, cc, or that kind of thing then im just fine. but in my current project i fade to black a couple times and fade back into my footage to create dramatic pauses, but the fades are always very pixelated, and if i darken footage, i can never get clean blacks, even if my iso is at zero, i always get tons of artifacts in my export even though it looks fine in my viewer before export.
im using a 7d with cs6 and have done tons of searching for people's export settings and have tried all of what ive found but none have helped. mostly i hear h.264 for codec and target/max bitrate at 5-10 / 10-30.. lots of variation there but either way, nothing works. doesnt matter what level i put it at, even at 5.1..
looking for export setting for a clean master cut thats not going to be 7gb for a 1 minute thing that will play back on my computer..
to make it short - how do i export to get clean blacks/dark areas and smooth fades?? THANKS

>My movies are in native MOD files. I convert em by simply changing the extension to mpg
You are starting with compressed files... and then you compress again... that is a DOUBLE hit on quality
You might try some other software (no, I don't know which one) to edit your files and export without re-compressing

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger on an incoming email. The finger method doesn't work and I cannot find any toolbar with which to do it. I could find nothing in settings also. Plese help and thank you.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,

You have to choose – one settigf or another.
The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
Good luck.

Why would firefox release version 29.0.1. It is terrible! I had to find a plugin to change the tabs back. Bad decision. Why was this done?

Not happy with version 29.0.1 - Are there any plans to roll this back?

On my Windows 8 machine Firefox 29 (puke) no longer remembers my "Customize" icon settings ~ every time I close down Firefox and restart they all have disappeared. POS.
Whomever approved this radical of a change on the user experience without a nary of warning should be TERMINATED. This will go down in software history's top ten "Hall-Of-Shame"!!!

TS2634 Cannot find iCloud in Settings on my iPad 1?

Want to connect my iPad first generation, my iMac and my ihone 4S through iCloud. Help please? Cannot find iCloud under settings on my iPad?

As Crizzo stated, you are probably not running the necessary iOS for iCloud.
You can check in Settings>General>About>Version .... To see which iOS the iPad is running. This will explain how to update your iPad. You must do this via iTunes on your computer and you want to make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
After you have updated to iOS 5, you will be able to update over the air in the future without the need to go through iTunes on your computer.
BTW ... It is not a good idea to post your phone number in a public forum. I have asked the hosts to remove it from your post.

Best place to find more plugins??

hi everyone
Where is the best place to find more plugins to add to those already with Logic?
The effects with logic are very good but id like to add to those now.
Is there a big range of plugins like the vst's for cubase?
Thanks
Andy

Hey Andy,
There is just as large a collection of plugins for Logic (these come in the AU or Audio Units format) as for Cubase. Anywhere you can buy recording equipment should be selling plugins too. Some free plugins (but not very useful most of the time) can be found on places like www.digitalfishphones.com or www.airwindows.com . The guy that owns AirWindows seems to basically do code copies of plugins. He's got some great free plugins. . . one of which I often use on vocals. he also has some paid plugins that are far cheaper than the competition ($60 vs. $500 for a tape emulation plugin for instance) that are VERY good.
If you're looking to buy plugins, go to www.sweetwater.com . . . or really any large pro audio retailer, but sweetwater's a good place to start. If I knew more of what you were looking for I could help guide you a bit better.
Also, if you have an ilok key you can download demos of many paid plugins and give them a test drive.

HT201304 Hi! My My mom bought me an iPhone 5 and I have a problem with my facetime I cant find it! Cant find it in settings and restrictions. She bought this in Bahrain both my iPhone and she ipad mini and she has facetime on her. What should I do?

Hi! My My mom bought me an iPhone 5 and I have a problem with my facetime. I cant find it! Cant find it in settings and restrictions. I remember when she gave me this I see facetime in settings and after a couple of days its gone! She bought this in Bahrain both my iPhone and her iPad Mini. And I'm just wondering why she has facetime and why mine is missing? Please help! My iMessage is perfectly working. I lived in the Philippines

Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

How do I find the BIOS settings? I'm trying to install a VM so I can run CAD programs for my work.

I am an engineering student and thus having the capability to utilize CAD programs is highly advantageous to me, so I talked to several of my friends who have Macbooks and they recommended using Parallel. After I installed the program and my Windows OS, it keeps giving me an error message saying that the hardware virtualization has been disabled in the BIOS settings. I cannot find the BIOS settings anywhere! How do I change this? Does anyone know?

There are no BIOS settings, because Macs don't have a BIOS. I don't use Parallels, but I assume it has simulated BIOS settings. You'd have to consult its documentation to find out how to change them.

See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
You could use the free DNG Converter.

Where can I find the plugins folder when I have opened PSE13? I miss it in this version! If so why did Adobe removed it? Then this version has no use to me.

I just purchased PSE13 and after installing I noticed that I can't find my plugins while I could easily open it in my PSE11. Why did Adobe removed it??? If so I think I will install PSE11 again.
Kind-a weird that this version doesn't have a plugin-use anymore.
Oftwel: waar heeft PSE13 de plugins gelaten? In mijn vorige versie PSE11 wanneer ik met een foto bezig was kon ik mijn plugins bereiken, stonden ze er netjes bij maar bij deze versie kan ik ze nergens vinden. Mocht het zo zijn dat Adobe deze heeft verwijderd {wat erg dom is, naar mijn mening!} zit er niets anders voor me op om terug te gaan naar PSE11....
♥

I have Windows 7 Professional X86 and I also noticed that PSE13 was installed in my 'normal' program files folder instead of the X86 program files folder. PSE11 used the X86 programfiles folder. I dunno why though!
