Re: Looking for advice for dialogue and speech plugins

2020-12-07 Thread Michael Holmes
If you have an active subscription, the Avid Complete Pro Dynamics are a 
must-have. The compressor would be my go-to, and for quick setup there are 
presets for broadcast speech under the vocals submenu. The multiband plugin can 
do up and down compression or expanding. The expander has a really easy duck 
mode for sidechaining from spoken word. Lastly, the limiter is designed with 
EBU specs. As for Waves, they are also great, and their new installer seems to 
have been redesigned for accessibility, which was the only accessibility issue 
before. Their plugins make up the majority of my third party go-to picks.

Looking for advice for dialogue and speech plugins

2020-12-07 Thread Toby Davey


Hi Guys, 


Looking for some advice on plugins for working with dialogue and speech.  


This is all pretty much new to me so maybe some simple questions here! from 
me


AS you all know I work in radio and mainly with speech output plus also 
putting some music shows together too.  I have been playing around with 
some of the AudioSuite plugins that come with Pro Tools which work well but 
now looking for adding in some other plugins to my workflow if it is all 
fairly straight forward to do.


One thing I have read about online is how it might be possible to find a 
plugin that will do upward compression to bring variations in speech up to 
give a more even volume and level.  Not sure if there is a plugin out there 
that does this although I have seen a video using a Waves plugin for vocals 
which seems to smooth out the sound of the voice.  Also a friend has 
mentioned some of the Waves Arts plugins too. 


So how easy is it to add in plugins and how accessible are they with Voice 
Over in Pro Tools. 


I have seen a lot of traffic on the WhatsAp group about many music and 
instrument plugins and talk about the various Plugin files in the Dropbox 
folder. 


If I do start to look at adding some plugins into PT how accessible is the 
process with VoiceOver, do I need to download VOCR  and if I need to use 
any of the files from the Dropbox plugin folders is it fairly 
straightforward to do this.


If there is anything in the dropbox folder or online that would be good to 
read first please do point me in the right direction. 


Cheers 


Toby
