Presets for enhancing vocals

I was looking at some tutorials for enhancing vocals in Audition but they all reference older versions. Some presets mentioned are "pop vocals" and "reverb R3" under the effects categories "DirectX" and "Wave-C4". Are these still available in Audition CS5.5? Or are they renamed into other things? I'm mainly looking for effect presets that makes pop and classical vocals sound smoother. Any suggestions are welcome. So far I'm using a combination of single-band compressor, dynamic processing -> smooth vocals, and a small amount of studio reverb.

Direct X, no.  It's been superceded by a type of plug in called VST (of which there are thousands for download, some free, some paid for.
Studio reverb is a good start though--try some of the Vocal Reverb presets at the bottom of the list.  However, don't just stick to presets--have a play and a listen.  There are lots of adjustments but until you get way into it, the three to experiment with will be Room Size, Early Reflections and Decay.  You'll quickly hear the changes as you slide them and look for what you're after.
The "Full Reverb" effect is even nicer but too resource hungry to run in real time on most machines--you often have to do a "destructive" effect in Waveform View.
Or, as a final suggestion, a great favourite of mine is a free VST plugin called "Glaceverb" which you can download from a company called DASample.  I'm sure you can find an online tutorial about downloading and using VSTs.
Hope this helps.

    Hello Michael,
    Yes, there is. Look in the Inspector - Adjustment Tab:
    In the "Presets-Selector -> Quick Fixes" you will find "Auto Enhance"

  • Enhancing vocals in GB 2

    I'm about to record this song i wrote and i have a good singing voice but sounds kinda gayish when recorded is there any options in GB 2 that can enhance vocals or add some effects if so how to do it. Maybe you'd recommend me some third-party software for it?

    Pointing at some related links is not always helpful. I have a similar problem and read those links last night, but a dummy like myself (with a PhD) needs some more concrete advice. Maybe, someone can help (and forgive me, if this question was asked already):
    I am a German-American living and working in Japan and visiting "karaoke-bars" almost each weekend. I noticed, that my voice sounds much fuller and more professional there rather than at home in front of my iMac. The bars must be using some kind of enhancement, that "flatters" the voice, either in the microphone or in some software.
    NONE of the manuals, I have read so far (including Jeff Tolberts two excellent books), tells me exactly, how to use the "effects", provided by GB 2, in order to "flatter" a human voice. And, by the way, I also did not find an instruction enabling me to change a female voice into a male one, and vice versa, as advertised.

  • Looking for choir/vocal samples

    I have a MacPro and am learning the basics of Logic 7. I compose classical and orchestral types of scores and am looking for some choir/vocal samples that I can use to lay down tracks for vocalists (so they can learn the parts) and as alternatives to 'live performers'.
    The only two that I have found on the threads here are:
    1. Bela D Media's Diva Voices/ Children's Choir
    2. EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs
    I haven't heard to many good things about NI compatibility with logic and am wondering if there are samples that may be used in Logic's native exs24 sampler.
    Much of the music is for church and for small vocal groups.
    Any suggestions for other vocal samples or insight from users who are actually using these samples successfully in Logic would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Green,
    1. Yes, AKAI converts ok to EXS, no sweat!
    2. Logic! Open the EXS, drag the 4 CD-Roms to A Folder on the HD,
    if this folder is on a different partition from Logic, make an Alias
    of that folder and drag it to the Library (have a peak on the manual
    to know where to drop it, probably: System>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments).
    Then in EXS (top right) Click on options AKAI Convert.
    Simple.
    3. I have my samples on a 5400rpm drive (Powerbook).
    I have a dedicated drive for audio (7200 rpm LACie).
    To convert and load samples for the first time it may took you a bit.
    but once you have load a bank it's pretty fast.
    I've just Loading say, the London Choir Ahs Bank (boys & girls),
    in 2 to 3 secounds! :o)
    Once it's loaded it's just like a preset, don't worry.
    Best regards,

  • Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

    I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
    Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
    I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
    I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
    In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?

    I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows:  3 Canon camcorders,
    Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
    b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
    additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception. 
    Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base.  I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen.  Is there a better option?  I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR.  I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
    Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
    (And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

    Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
    Before
    After
    It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
    And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
    (without overdoing it to get black borders again).
    After and an adjust
    Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to create a preset for drop shadows?

    I'm setting up a template for a new brochure that will need drop shadows on every product that is being placed. Is there a way to save a preset for a drop shadow so I need not have to recreate the shadow every time? Also this is being distributed to many people to work on and effects presets would be hugely beneficial-just not sure if that is possible? Although it is Indesign, and they are usually on the up and up for this kind of thing.
    Thanks!

    The Eyedropper Tool is a quick way of applying the same drop shadow to many objects
    But as peter says object styles is a much simplier way.

  • How to create a preset for computer output of 1024x768?

    I just upgraded from Premiere Elements 1.0 (yes, 1! :) ) to PE7. I record user group meetings for my local software developers group. We have screen capture at 1024x768 pixels and audio.
    In PE1 I had no trouble bringing this footage in, editing it and exporting it as 1024x768 for viewing online by the members.
    However, I can't seem to find anyway to create a project preset for 1024x768. It seems I can only create SD, HD and similar.
    When attempting to create a custom preset 90% of the values are pre-filled with settings and I can't change them. I see textboxes for the height and width but I can't change them.
    Is this a limitation of PE7? Why in the world can I not create a video any size I want? Without this ability the upgrade is almost useless to me.
    Please let me know because I feel like I must just be missing something.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did see the 720p preset and this does produce a nice image. The SD preset made the output look muddy and the screen text was unreadable.
    That being said, when importing my media into a project on the 720p preset I get the black letterbox bars on the side.
    I did render a 10 second test area and changed the output size to 1024x768. I was afraid it would squash the entire video, but much to my surprise it just cropped it. So, while I have to work with the letterboxing I can output an actual 1024x768 video. I was also having a little trouble because I was using File - Export Movie to, well, export my movie. When I tried the Share task, set it to PC and changed the settings this was much easier and produced a much better result.
    Thanks for the help!
    FYI, I use PE7 to export it as a wmv. I'm playing with Expression Encoder to then encoded this with VC-1 for Silverlight clients.

  • CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

    Goal 
    To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
    Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
    Tools on Hand
    Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
    FFMpegx CODEC pack.
    CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
    So far I've been able to
    I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it.  I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc. 
    Problems I've encountered
    I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project.  For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio.  But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect.  I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too.  Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD.  I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project. 
    I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer.  I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
    Current steps I'd like to take
    I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance).  I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others.  Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
    Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize?  I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264.  the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless).  I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
    How do I choose a preset for my new project?  These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different).  Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types?  I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere?  Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset?  I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start?  Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
    Thank you for helping a newbie.  I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything.  I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
    *It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed. 

    You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
    Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
    110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
    often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
    tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
    the model 300
    Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
    need that, look at the model 55

  • How to set default preset for Save for Web

    Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
    On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
    On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.

  • Best Practice for enhancing the SAP delivered standard WD ABAP application

    Hi,
    I am new to WebDypro ABAP.
    To enhance the SAP delivered Standard WebDynpro Component (complex component with Business objects & powl).
    Kindly let me know the best practice for enhancing the Standard WD ABAP from the below 1 or 2.
    1) To copy & create a "Z" of the component & make changes in that (or)
    2) to enhance directly on the same standard component without making "Z".
    Regards,
    NS

    Hi NS,
    If it is a standard component its better we go for enhancing the component rather than copying it into Z component.
    If there is any issue with in the standard component , SAP supports it through notes and OSS messages. If it is a Z component, SAP doesn't support it.
    If there is any up gradation of business packages, changes will be done to standard , but not the Z components, wherein we could miss it.
    Further, since it is a standard component it might have been used at many places, changes that has to done to reflect all changes might be difficult in this case if it is a z component.

  • "Use presets for responsive layout" not working in Chrome

    I am building a responsive website. I am going to have parts of the website animated using Edge Animate. I will make the animation and then insert it into a div in the responsive website I am building.
    The Adobe Edge animation has a width of 100%, so that it resizes according to the area that it occupies the full width of the div no matter how wide that div may be in px.
    It is all working fine, but:
    I have an image in the Edge animation that is center aligned. It must stay center aligned no matter what width the animation ends up being.
    Within Adobe Edge, in Properties, in Position and Size, there is a option where, if you hover your mouse cursor over the top right button a tool tip says "Use presets for responsive layout"
    With the image on the stage selected, I can click on the "Use presets for responsive layout" button and then choose "Centre background Image".
    It works perfectly in all browsers accept Chrome (even IE is playing ball this time). In chrome the width of the image stretches out as the div stretches out..
    The "Centre background Image" setting says that it won't scale the image. But in Chrome it does.
    What can I do to "tell" Edge Animate to center the image but not scale it in the Chrome browser?
    I can see that in the image properties it is set to Background image x axis and y axis 50%. And the width is set to pixels. But in Chrome, the image stretches.
    If you go to http://www.brainstormadvertising.co.uk/demo/services.html you will see what I mean. The circle image is centering BUT stretching in chrome browsers while centering nicely and NOT stretching in other browsers.

    Thank you for your reply Josh. But the point of this setting in Edge Animate is that you can set it up that the background image is center aligned and does not scale. Yet it produces code that gives the width as 21.72%.
    A little further along I see background-size: 48px; .  This is correct.
    So all the browers are reading background-size: 48px; as the scale measurement but Chrome is reading the width only, not the background-width. So this "Use presets for responsive layout" works in all browsers except chrome.
    I don't know how to change that code after the artwork has been published. I can see the code using Firebug, but where do I change it in my code on my computer before uploading to the server?
    I have reported this bug to Adobe.
    Please see the attachment. You can see where all the settings are made and where I am getting a problem.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.
