Which compressor Type is the Best for Voice over recordings?

The compressor Plug in in sdtr pro has a vca, platinum, opto etc
Which One is the Best for male Voice overs?
I don't Know the differences opto, platinum, opto....

Opto, VCA, and FET refer to models of different analog circuitry that accomplishes compression in different ways.
Not positive, but I think "platinum" is not really a model, but the plug's own compression scheme.
When I worked at an audio post facility, we had hardware UA 1176 compressors, which are FET compressors. They sounded pretty fantastic, but that's not saying that the model in the plugin will sound that way.
Here's a nice discussion of the different types:

Scroll down to the salmon background sidebar.
Ultimately, it's really best to try the different models out and see which sounds best on your material. Let your ears be the judge.
Good luck!

    Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
    I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
    The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
    Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
    I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
    Good luck,

  • Which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Base on individual experience, which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

    Hot-Key mode MacMini and IO Gear KVM Switch MiniView Micro USB Plus
    Fusionwolf, can you help me?
    I want to use my TFT monitor (HPvs19 ) with a MacMini and a Casablanca KRON PC. The monitor works good with both computers, when connecting them separately.
    I've bought a KVM switch MiniView Micro USB Plus (IOGear GCS632U) connected it as written in the IOGear Installation Manual. Now I can use the monitor with my MacMini and my Mac keyboard, but I cannot switch to the PC.
    In the IO Gear manual several methods to switch ports are written. But every method starts by invoking HotKey mode.
    The manual reads :
    "To invoke HotKey mode, do the following:
    1. Press and hold down the NumLock key
    2. Press and release the minus- key
    3. Release the NumLock key"
    and
    "When HotKey mode is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that Hotkey mode is in effect."
    I've tried many times to do this pressing/releasing on my Mac keyboard. Within different time/speeds. But with no result... I CANNOT get in the HotKey mode...
    What can I do? Are there other ways to get in HotKey mode with my Mac keyboard (bought with my previous iMac some 4 years ago)? Or are there other ways of switching with the IO Gear KVM Switch?
    Thanks a lot in advance for an answer!

  • Would Like to get an iPod but not sure which one would be the best for me..

    i have done some research on the iPods, the easiest to use, which ones are best for fitness workouts, etc. I had an iPod Classic sometime ago but I ruined it because I tried to install the program it came with but it was already installed and the second install I did ruin it. At least this is what the genius bar guy said.
    Anybody who knows iPods fairly well. I am new to my MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to synch the music in iTunes with the iPod for music for various activities. I also have trouble with the ear phones that come with the iPods, so I was looking at a website that had earphones ranging from $300 to $500 approx for people who have various needs in addition to using them at studios while mixing new music. I just want a pair that will stay in my odd shaped ears, have great quality, and work well with the iPods.
    Any recommendations on iPod for exercise. I am not big on videos but having some good music gets me through a hard workout. One problem I have is that the genus guys could not fix the multiple setting, software, preference settings, etc. that had become corrupted in my old Mac and because several genius guys could not fix the numerous problems they gave me a new MacBook Pro. However, they recommended that since my problems were all setting, software issues and problems I have add with adding music in iTunes, that none of my pictures, music or setting be transferred to the new MBP but to start over. They did not even save any of my iTunes and pictures which I thought was odd but what could I say since they were giving me a new MBP. If anybody has a legal way of transferring from my friend;s iTunes the music he has that I can use for the yoga and mind-body classes I teach, which I am getting nervous on because I start the classes next week. I do not have the money to buy the yoga and other fitness music in hours like I use to have. My friend will let me transfer some of his music that he had from his own cds and some but few from iTunes, but that I could get them on myTunes if I could find out how to do that.
    I researched that and since my friend did not care about atwork, artists of the songs on one cd, for example, the genre, tracks, artists, etc. he does have some but I would want to do the research and get the artwork and the titles of the various songs, the tracks, and all the info one gets when they transfer a new cd to iTunes. I had this problem with some of my old music but with google images, and finding the cd online I was able to get all the CDs accurate, even the double CDs that iTunes would have as one cd, but I figured out how to get them to one cd.
    The ways ITunes Help advices on moving songs from one iTunes to another computer with iTunes, they recommend an iPod, transferring them to a DVD and burn the DVd on to my new MacBook Pro, with several other option that were beyond my ability to understand. If anybody has suggestions how to get my friend;s songs to my iTunes so I can have enough New Age and Yoga music for the classes that start next week, I would really appreciate it.
    I also want to start backing up using time Machine and LaCie Rugged hard disk FW, USB, 400 0r 800 FW, 7200 speed, usb, etc. I am not up-to-date on the speed of the LaCie and if the 7200 speed would be a waste of money. Any recommendations for getting this device, not hooking it up to a wireless devise but to the Time Machine. If it does not come formatted for the new MacBook Pro and is it a big deal formatting the hard drive so I would be able to start using it right out of the box. Any suggestions n the iPod, and the LaCie rugged external hard drive would be a hugh help. I cannot afford a Time Capsule right now so I though the LaCie would be the next best thing
    Thanks!!

    8GB 1600MHz memory
    256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics

    The 2,600 is out of the question.
    Which one should I get if I am

    -Editing and uploading videos
    -Playing 1 or 2 Games.
    Thanks if you can help me.

    Go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. It has got a quad-core CPU and a better GPU, which will improve your video editing and games experience, even if the Intel Iris Pro GPU is not the best GPU for those tasks

  • Which mac may be the best for me?

    as of now my budget is 3k
    im still trying to decide between mac/windows
    the mac side of it im looking at a 15'' pro 17'' pro and a 24'' imac.
    im wondering if some one could give me the plus minus on the screen size, i tried talked to an apple sales person over the phone, she sounded more like she wanted a date than to sell me a mac. The nearest mac store is about 2 hours away, so its kinda out of the question, ive been soaring over the site for the last week.
    i cant decide.. so i thought i would ask some experts.
    please give me your knowledge or your opinion. They will both mean a great deal to me.

    Tyner,
    The ideal thing would be to wait until you could make it to the Apple store, and have a cursory look at OS X. Failing that, the next best would be to go to a Barnes and Nobles (or equivalent), sit down with one of the "Missing Manual" OS X books (by David Pogue), and give it a good scan for the kinds of things you could expect in OS X. The "Missing Manual" books are fantastic for turning a "noob" into a power user, but they also stand as a very good preview of what to expect.
    You are not likely to find someone here that prefers Windows, quite the contrary. Those of us who are long-time, "die hard" Mac users might go further to say that we absolutely hate Windows. In my case, my distaste for Windows is not due to any neurotic allegiance to a particular OS, but to the fact that I am used to the ease and power of OS X, and Windows simply doesn't measure up. It's not that one can't do the same things in Windows that one can do in OS X, but that it is often much more difficult or time consuming. I'm not even mentioning those annoying pop-ups and messages.
    With one exception, all the things you mention will be great in OS X. The exception might be real estate. From what I understand, some of the online resources necessary to real estate agents will only work in IE for Windows. This is not due to a failing in OS X, but to the fact that these websites do not use universal web standards. It's too bad.
    Also, while games run very well in OS X, there are simply not as many ported to OS X as to Windows. This might or might not be a concern for you, based on exactly which game titles you prefer. For example, Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey, Command & Conquer, etc. all have Mac versions, and run extremely well. Check for your specific titles.
    All this said, perhaps the strongest argument for you would be the fact that you could always run Windows on your Macbook Pro (or iMac). Doing so (while I don't prefer to recommend it) would make the question of compatibility/usability for real estate and gaming a moot point.
    Whether or not you go with a portable is really an entirely different question. My guess would be that, for school, a portable would be almost a necessity.

  • Which case is the best for the iPhone 6?

    So I am just wondering which case would be the best for the iPhone 6. I know that there are plenty of different cases out there. And I would like to get one that doesn't limit the use of the phone. But I also need the case that's good with drops and what not. Not that I make a habit of dropping my phone.

    Of course, "best" case is in the eyes of the person using the phone.
    Some would say it is an Otterbox, others would say it is a case which does not add too much bulk, others would say it is a case which extends battery life of your device, my daughter says the best case is the one she thinks is the most attractive(and minimizes bulk) and jorgeo_vzw has given his opinion which differs from at least a few of these options.
    My best suggestion would be to determine what your usage habits are and choose according to those habits. The best case will not be the same case for everyone.

  • Which web browser is the best?(firefox, chrome, safari)

    I am using mac 10.6.4 which web browser is the best for mac?
    Facebook, youtube etc.
    Thanks
    Ala.

    What could be possibly better than an Apple product for an Apple product.
    Actually there are various areas where Safari is defective compared to other browsers. For example it lacks the ability to override the fonts of a website with fonts of your own choosing. Also it cannot send a different language identifier for multilingual webpages without changing the language for the entire OS. Whether the defects matter depends of course on each user's individual requirements.

  • Which Pair of NIke+ Shoes Best For Running

    I usually run 3-4 miles a day, mostly on concrete and sidewalks, which pair whould be the best for this? I was looking at getting the air max moto IV, what do you runners think of these.

    I bought the Air Max Moto IV shoes. The verdict: they're ok, I guess. On my first run, they performed OK, but with a little more wear, I really noticed the flaws: very little support around the toes being the primary culprit.
    Frankly, Nike running shoes suck. I wasn't too thrilled with the other pairs I tried on. The Air Max Moto felt the most like any other normal running shoe. I was tempted to buy the Moire sneakers, but the arch support was too high for my comfort. The Moire sneakers are also a whole heck of a lot lighter too.
    Its too bad that other running shoes aren't officially compatible with the nano because dollar-for-dollar Nike shoes just don't cut it.
    Oh, and I can definitely feel the sensor in the shoe when I run.

  • Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for voice over recording?

    Hello,
    I am wondering which software is best for voice over work? Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express?
    Any input would be great. I would add the standard effects/filters to certain voice overs and add sound effects and music.
    I have a midi/guitar and garage band is enough for me. I would not want to use Garageband as my software of choice for voice over work. I want markers and other more advanced tools?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Thanks for the answer.
    I was looking at the Dialogue Tools in Sountrack and they appear to be perfect.
    My main questrion is can record into Sountrack with a mic right? I have an m-audio saphire with a m-audio preamp.
    I saw a demo of Soundtrack at NAB and all the effects looked perfect for voice over. I think Logic Studio is overkill but Sountrack and Logic Express( for my guitar) might be a perfect 1-2 punch. I will get Sountrack with The Final Cut Studio as I need video tools as well.
    Thanks,
    Erik
