Mixing page plug- ins/effects

Hi
When you use the effects/mastering plug Ins in the mix page, I know the cpu-intensive ones like SD should be on busses, but for others, like compression, limiters etc.. should you use them on individual channels , or use the insert /mastering settings on the master outputs ?
It seems, at times, theres' too much to choose from...
thanks

Its common practice to use compression on individual channels for the kind of sounds that need it - for example, bass guitar or vocals usually need to be evened out to prevent the sound from fading away or dropping out at times - however, there are occasions when compression might be used as a sound shaping tool on a synthesised or sampled sound, that's where creativity comes in.
Also common practice to compress different frequency bands (multipressor)on the master output and stick a limiter there last in the chain to stop any peaks over 0dB - you need to be at the 'finishing off' stage before you bother with these though - my autoload song has a track for the master outputs on the arrange page with the multipressor and limiter in bypass mode so that they're ready to bring in before the final bounce.

Inserting plug-ins/effects to specific portions of track

hey there,
I've been using logic express 8 for a few weeks now and must say i do like it a lot. Although this one issue im not able to figure out on my own. I want to know how to insert a specific plug in to a specific portion of my audio track.
For example....I want to insert a flanger and adjust its parameters to only a small portion of my track 1....(minute 1:30-1:35)?
Is this possible?

Hi,
Logic can do this easily with Automation.
In the arrange window click View > Automation. In the left side of the tracks you'll see buttons pop up, often with "Volume" written on it (be sure that the height of the track is large enough; you may have to zoom in a little to see them). Press-hold the button, and you'll see a "chapter" called main with a little arrow next to it. Behind that you can choose things like "Insert #1 Bypass". Now you can draw automation lines in your track, that will switch you effects on or off.
Or you can choose ANY parameter of ANY plugin to automate.
If you click on Help > Logic Express 8 User Manual, and go to page 605, you can find detailed info on automation.
Kind regards,
Jaap

"Water Pane" Effect in FCPX freezing animation. How can I reset FCPX to get my plug-ins/effect to function properly? Tried Pram reset, did nothing. Help!!

My Water Pane effect in Final Cut Pro animates for a few seconds and then freezes up mid "drip" and stays frozen. video still plays fine in background, but Water Pane just sits there. How can I fix this?

If you don't get an answer here, you might post the question in the FCPX discussion here.

Plug-ins for After Effects CC (12.0)

http://adobe.ly/11iUoPS
Here's the most important part:
"Important: There have been few significant changes to the effect plug-in API for After Effects CC (12.0), so you shouldn’t need new versions of most plug-ins for After Effects CC (12.0), if you already have plug-ins that work for After Effects CS5, CS5.5, or CS6."
Read the page linked to for details.

Great to know. This has been one of my concerns--ie, having to wait until plug-in vendors catch up before I upgrade. Looking forward to Monday.
Thanks Todd.

I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter. You can try the following:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Mastering Plug-Ins on the Bounced File or The Multitrack Mix B4 Bounce?

hey guys..im running logic express and wanted to know should i place the mastering plug-ins on the multitrack mix or should i mix, bounce out, import back in and place the plug-ins on that file?

Hi,
Either way can work.
If you want to easily try different effects on the mixed-down version, do it that way.
If you know how you want the effects to be used, go ahead and apply them to the multi-track version.

Both Firefox & IE crash even when I have disabeled plug-ins. I have installed new version of Firefox and problem continues. Seems to be related to Flash, but not sure. Firefox will stay open if I go to a page like Google. Also crashes in safe mode.

Both browsers seem to crash when the web page wants plug ins to access pages. Simple ones like Google's home page, or these for example, work fine. I have run several scans with security software, including Malware (latest database), and they don't find anything.

The problem began because my computer had to be sent in because it wouldnt turn on so i had to get it fixed they replaced the motherboard this was the second time the motherboard was replaced and once they did that my firefox hasnt worked the same. I can go on google chrome but thats not what i prefer to use.
& when i right click on firefox it says troubleshoot so im assuming its built in to my computer. im not sure.
I tried the profile manager to create a new profile and that has seemed to work so far. No crashing but it does freeze when i got to facebook and then i have to click ctr alt delete to open task manager to end firefox. It happened twice, the third time i went to google, then twitter and it didnt freeze. I then went to youtube and it froze. So Facebook and youtube make it freeze. Any idea why it does that?
& thank you so much for helping and responding to me.

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date

How to remove a text in browser: Some plug ins used by this page are out of date. It occur in every page when I surfing. I am aware that is a threat but when I tried to install an update of flash the userinit.dll file from windows registry had gone and I had to reset everything.

a error during the flash update might be itself an indication of malware active on the pc. the browser is your door to the web - therefore it's very important to keep it and all plugins up to date in order to keep your pc & the integrity of your personal data safe.

BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
Thank goodness for the internet!

FCE HD Plug-ins for effects and transitions?

Good Morning
does anyone know if there are any software companies out there that make plug-ins for FCE HD like there are for iMovie?
Thanks for your help

There are a number of companies out there that make plugins - just do a Google search for them.
In the meantime how does a hundred FREE effects, transitions and generators sound?
If you are prepared to spend a couple of hours (Broadband speed) exploring these sites you will find them:-
http://fxscript.org/plugins.html
http://www.chv-plugins.com/
http://www.cgm-online.com/eiperle/cgm_e.html

http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/review_sapphire_fcpdouglas.html

Though it says FCPro they all work with FCE. Each site has at least one free plugin amongst numerous commercial ones and some sites have ten or more.

TS5249 After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead. I need help getting the old effects back.

After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead.
For background: I lost my v6 because I had to reformat my whole hard drive. When I reformatted I lost GB and everything else I had. I downloaded GB (unaware of the awfulness that is v10) from the App Store. The fact that v10 does not have all my favorite and most used effects from v6, I uninstalled v10 and redownloaded v6 from my App Store Purchases. I load up v6 only to find that all the default effects are there for each instrument, but when I go to add an effect (i.e. Distortion, Vocal Transformer, Flanger, etc.), instead of the list of classic effects, there's the list of awful AU effects from v10. What gives?!

I don’t have this issue, but I am looking to learn about which parts of the old GarageBand can safely migrate to the new GarageBand 10.
(Personally, I like most of what changed in the new version. I sorely miss a few features, and I submitted some detailed feedback. If you think similarly—or if you hate the new version like babygotbackup—do the GarageBand community a favor, and send in your own feedback! From the menu, select GarageBand ▶︎ Provide GarageBand Feedback.)

Plug-in page tells me all plug-ins are up to date, but I keep getting error messages from Firefox telling me they are not and are unstable

I keep getting error messages stating that my Adobe Flash is out of date and vulnerable. I go to the Add-ons Manager, click "update" and it takes me to the plug-in page which shows it's up to date!! Same with Java DT and Shockwave Flash. How can I update if I have the latest versions already!?! I am inclined to just allow the plug-ins to work but don't want my pc to become vulnerable. Please help!

hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).
in order to update java, go to java.com (or if you don't need the plugin you can also uninstall it though the windows control panel)
