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 Save Favorite Effects?

Ok....searched but did not find. I FORGOT how to do this. I'm using Digital Rebellions FCS maintenance pack...and often do a Quick Fix....THEN, i ALWAYS loose my Favorite effects under Favorites Tab.
I remember there is a way to save my favorites to a file, but for the life of me don't recall how to do it or if i had done this in FCS maintenance pack--but don't see any reference to saving Favorites.
Can someone chime in and give a quick answer...if i can do this within Digital Rebellions maintenance pack or just from FCP.
Thanks communitiy!

Favorite Effects are stored in your preference files. One of the troubleshooting tasks QuickFix performs is to trash the preferences. Before it does so, it backs up the preferences in case you wish to go back (these are the files listed as Auto Backups in Preference Manager).
So you could restore the backup to bring back your favorite effects or you could save them into a project file by dragging them from the Filters tab into the Browser.

Your favorite resources about effective learning in Captivate?

Hi,
I'm just getting started with Captivate, though I've been working in instructional design in digital publishing for education for a while. Now I'm going for my master's, and I'm planning on doing some hands-on action research about effective ways to creating branching-path experiences using Captivate.
I'd love to know your favorite websites, articles, blogs, books, etc. for finding out how best to use Captivate, not just technically, but some pedagogical some best practices. The same applies to any sources about best practice for branching-path projects as well. I'm already exploring Adobe's offerings.
Thanks!

For python, I like the cherrypy code. Clean and down to earth. For c, I have a number of favorite projects: evince, zlib, dwm, openbox, lua, libpeas, cogl, and clutter. Look on Browse github by language, look at the top projects and see how they are put together, but don't get discouraged! Some of the projects are daunting, absolutely massive, or have weird programming style. Just stick to your guns and look for the simple ones, when you are ready, go back and look at the really complex projects (V8 anyone?) and try to figure out the entry point and work you way from there. I would also highly recommend ack to help you find stuff in a source tree.

OK, I updated to FCS2 - what happened to all my favorite effects in FCP??

Yep, my favorites folder in the browser effects tab, which I had full of my carefully crafted transitions etc., is empty. What happened to them?

Your "Favorites" were part of FCP's preference file. When you installed the later version, preferences were most likely overwritten.
To guard against this happening with future updates, hard drive crashes, preferences corruptions, etc, create an FCP project named "Favorites." Add a color matte to the Timeline and cut it up into as many pieces as you have Favorite transitions. Add all your Favorite filters to one of the clips. Save the project file.
After upgrades or any other time you're required to restore your preferences, open the "Favorites" project and drag all of the transitions and filters into the Favorites Bin to restore them.
If you have previous project files in which you used some of those Favorites, you can re-open those projects and restore them the same way - having a "Favorites" project file with all of them just makes it easier to do.

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.

What's your favorite of styling hyperlinks?

Hi,
what's your favorite way of styling hyperlinks?
Right now I've colored mine C=100 M=100 Y=0 Y=0 and made them underlined. I feel the underlining is a bit too harsh on my overall design. Then again if I don't underline them, how are people suppose to know they're links?
Spelling out URLs is just not an option. Unless I use TinyURL? They say their links will last forever but who knows for sure?

That is a question about cultural expectations -- I can't answer that confidently. The check mark that so often is used in US software to signal 'OK' (as in the spelling checking function where I edit this message) signals 'Error' to me -- and when it is shown in green (as Borland Software did at one point, and as Adobe does here) it signals both 'Error' and 'OK', and produces a kind of 'pulling-both-ways' effect that isn't too pleasant -- to me. I'm not sure I can come up with something that works for you.
The dialog bubbles may work -- though to me the carry overtones of a footnote or an endnote. But they pretty clearly seem to signal 'more info elsewhere', and that's definitely a step in the right direction.
I would be looking for something like a bent arrow -- perhaps Unicode U+21AA (↪), or perhaps something similar with a double arrow (Unicode U+21D2, ⇒), except I'd like it to have a similar curve at the left, half suggesting a 'click here to go elsewhere'. (Wingdings 3, character code 0xCA, is close.) But I could probably go for 0x58 in WIngdings 3, rotate it 90 degrees to the right, and perhaps tweak the small box into two smaller boxes of unequal size, suggesting movement.
Or perhaps just something that suggest a 'click here' -- some of the simpler designs in Altemus Bursts, or Altemus Pinwheel or Altemus Stars might work.
I would like something that tempted the reader into testing, and so encourage learning-by-doing. That would be helped by a similar symbol going the other way to indicate the 'back' of a web browser. Arrows help here -- they show a direction. Other designs -- bursts -- won't be a easily understood: what would be a reverse burst?.And what symbol would be used at the target end of the dialog bubbles to suggest 'go back'? (Added: perhaps a quad or square signalling 'end'?)
Arrows seem safer. Even guillemets might work, as long they won't be misread as quotes of some kind. Guillemets in a circle? There are some such glyphs like that in Wingdings. The standard 'fast forward' and 'fast backward' glyphs (in Webdings, say) may also work.
Actually ... this is the kind of problem I'd might want to suggest for a small project for a class for typeface designers.

What's your favorite MacBook Pro case?

What’s your favorite 15” MacBook Pro case? I am looking for something small that will safely hold the 15” Macbook Pro and some accessory’s such as a mouse and AC adapter.

Bag n’ Tag It
by: Digital Dude
In today’s world of everything slim and integrated, more techno fanatics and Spartan travelers are embracing the minimalist approach. To that end, I was looking for an alternative to my bulky computer briefcase for travel. So, I ordered the “Buzz” by Tom Bihn.
Initially, I was a bit skeptical since the price of the Buzz is rather high for a nylon bag in today’s crowded market. Fortunately, the folks at Tom Bihn have an excellent guarantee with great customer service. If you receive the bag, and it’s not what you expected, simply return it without having to request an authorization. Try that with any other bag manufacturer!
Exterior:
My first impression after opening the box was that the Buzz is in fact, a very well made nylon sling-bag with attractive accents. The initial fit on the back and shoulder was comfortable, and the crossover strap is wide and it fits guys and gals without interference. It’s also nicely padded and has a large durable quick disconnect fastener below your left rib area. There is a smaller adjustable waist strap for a more secure and balanced fit. I found it wasn’t necessary for casual carry although quite useful when riding a bike or running to catch that flight.
Interior:
The Buzz has two main compartments with waterproof zippers that don’t snag and they seal very well.
The main compartment houses a unique padded panel with a fitted corner, similar to a fitted bed sheet that stretches over one corner of the MacBook Pro. The space between the computer holder and the zippered panel provides room for a book, magazines, documents, or even a small travel neck pillow.
The second zippered compartment is on the very back and is slightly smaller or stepped down from the main compartment. It includes the usual key strap and some angled stitched pockets for pens, business cards and one larger pocket that can hold a Passport or airline tickets, etc.
The third compartment is on the exterior right side and is made of elastic material and is designed to hold a bottle, small umbrella or equivalent. It also has two pull straps to further secure its contents.
Finally, there is a super convenient compartment in the center of the crossover strap with a Velcro closure. This is my favorite feature, since it holds your cell, iPod or more notably, the new iPhone securely across your chest.
Field Tests:
I harnessed the Buzz, adjusted the straps and wore it for a week in and around town. The Buzz and its sling design holds' the 15-inch MacBook Pro, cables, charger, etc. in a vertical orientation on the back. This permits full range of motion for both arms, unlike most soft-sided computer briefcases.
At times, I wanted to shift the load, so I simply reached around with my left hand and lifted up slightly on the bottom as I grabbed the ferry-loop (top strap) with my right hand. In this manner, you can easily adjust the tension on the crossover strap.
The Buzz shoulder bag is advertised as offering “moderate” protection, although it’s quite adequate for most common travel activities. However, I wanted to see if I could fit my MacBook Pro while stuffed in the Tucano “Second Skin” sleeve. To my delight, it fit nearly perfect as though it was made for “The Buzz”. This combination effectively increases the travel protection by at least 2:1.
Wish List:
Accessory provisions or lack thereof, is a shortfall with many bag manufactures. User’s end up stuffing their charger, cables and adapters into secondary bags which all end up at the bottom, resulting in disorganized clutter. I visualize a removable fitted panel with separate compartments or straps that hold a basic array of typical computing items. In fact, I ended up using one of my luggage toiletry panels to help organize my computer gear in the Buzz. It holds everything vertically and eliminated the pile at the bottom.
After field-testing, I decided this bag was definitely a keeper’. However, I would prefer a tighter fit of the MacBook Pro or a matching sleeve. I would also favor a more contoured and softer crossover strap with an exterior I.D. card and pen/pencil slot. Since I’m dreaming here, how about a less abrasive backside for improved comfort.
Conclusion:
The Buzz sling bag is a well-made, lightweight, ergonomic alternative to a backpack or the horizontal briefcase design. It holds most everything one might need for mobile computing while providing an excellent provision for Apple’s new iPhone.
Regards,
~DD

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!

Premiere Element 9, how do you save your favorite transitions and 1080/60p

In Premiere Element 9, how do you save your favorite "transitions" and or "effects" to a folder like all the Premiere Element versions, theres no right clicking.
Does anyone know if the Panasonic HDC-tm700 1080/60p would work in version 9 ?

As you can see from this discussion from Muvipix.com, that camcorder does have some challenges.
http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=8453
In 60p mode, it uses a proprietary system that most third-party editors, including Premiere Elements, have problems with.
Using the software that came with the camcorder to convert it to 60i seems to make it compatible.
I'm not sure why Panasonic decided to make its video format non-standard. But it looks like the easiest solution is to edit that 60p video pretty much only with the software they give you with the camcorder.

What is your favorite feature?

ProSight ProSight 7.0 forges the link between strategy and
execution more effectively than ever before. The new
alerting capabilities deliver dynamic intelligence on the
health of my investments. If you've installed the new
release, what is your favorite feature?

I really like the maps as well... with the qualification that what is best is having a phone attached to it. I've only had the phone a week and used this feature 5 or more times to find a place and then immediately just call it. That's something the touch won't be able to do even within a wi-fi spot (g).
But today I think I found something equally cool -- someone sent me an email with their phone number and I was able to press the number and dial it. It's one thing to hyperlink to a URL within an email -- to be able to dial an embedded phone number is wicked (anyone knows if this works on web pages? That is, can the iPhone identify a phone number on a web page to press and dial? I need to check that out).

How do you read your favorite feeds?

Hi! This is my very first post on Arch forums.
I'm wondering about how do you read your favorite feeds? Which software do you use and why (what kind of features).
I'm more interested in finding a little software that uses the system tray.
Yet I'm also curious about just how does, those who utilize RSS, do it.
Personally I've used YARSSR, which is exactly what I want, except for few problems..
On Ubuntu it used to be as easy as make, make install (having build-essenial installed). On Debian 4.0 stable it is in the stable repos, so it was even easier. On Arch it's not in any of the repos nor AUR and make, make install didn't work:
# yarssr
bash: yarssr: command not found
# /usr/local/bin/yarssr
Can't locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/yarssr /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/yarssr/Yarssr.pm line 3.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
I'd love to understand what's going on. How to install it right.
Anyhow, it's far from perfect anyway. It's the single thing that is not working so perfectly on my Debian as it should. Uses way too much CPU, sometimes stays trying to update and never does update nor allow forced updates, no quitting, etc..
I also use Google Reader, which is great to read many feeds and manage them, etc.
All I want is a little applet (maybe GNOME applet?) that gives me quick glimpse of my top favorite feeds, without using my browser nor launching a full-functional aggregator.

Hi James.
I'd like to know how you want to read your news
i'd prefer a cli frontend, web front would be bonus (river of news style).
snownews is good, just needs a few tweaks, some ui ones, and the main one being:
often i dont get to read news for a few days straight, so i'd like something i can put in cron and it'll update, and log the news for a few days straight, so when i get back it's all there. this generally limits me to one of the web clients, i dont know any desktop apps that do this.
i might write up an app to do this someday
as for your yassr problem, pacman -S gnome-perl?

How do I reset the answer the the question " What was your favorite teachers name?" and "What was your least favorite job?"

I am trying to make my first purches on the new iPad from iTunes and the surcity question pops up "Whatwas the name of your favorite teacher?" and "What was least favorite job?" I need to know how to reset this information so I may start punching thing on the New IPad.

1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
    b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
        and service.

What's your favorite Java reference book?

The subject says it all. Asking for personal opinions, and (preferably) reasons why you like your favorite book.

The subject says it all. Asking for personal
opinions, and (preferably) reasons why you like your
favorite book.For me, it's T. H. White, The Once and Future King. It reminds us that when we are sad, the best thing for it is to learn. A close second is Zen Guitar, by Philip Sudo, in which we learn that even when we don't think we are learning, if we keep pushing at it, we are learning.
