Hi there, Anyone happen to have the presets for the Nectar Production suite? It’s Izotopes take on vocal processing. If i could or had access to sighted help, i’d try making them myself and contribute but as it stands now, all i can do is ask politely for them. /Krister 9 dec 2014 kl. 02:04

Hi folks. I mixed and mastered an easy listening track for Brian Howerton recently, and since I haven't mixed something lighter like this before, I thought I would ask for opinions on it. Here's a 48-second sample: https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/7bhny7 So, what do you like and more

Hello Chris, nice overall mix. The only thing that stands out to me is the bass and the drum. I am not sure if the drum has to many low frequencies that need to be cut and then boost some of the higher frequencies around maybe 150HZ. Or, it could be a compression thing I think I am hearing,

Looking at Nectar 2 over on the dark side, yup, there's a lot of parameters exposed... 150 or so. Well labeled, but not real-world values, so things like the frequencies for each EQ band are a bit of a guessing game. As usual for iZotope, the actual plugin GUI is sort of accessible too, with the

Loving how solid the bass is on this man... it's like carpet. I might've set the piano in a tad wider space using a reverb that's all about the mids... not for a noticeable decay, just a bit of extra warmth if that makes sense. The percussive-ness of the piano seemed a bit overbearing here, but

Good way to look at it Chris, and when you have a happy client then that is the thumbs up or down. I liked the percussive sharpness of the piano, because it seemed to just make it all a little more edgy and raw and not too tamed. Thanks for sharing -Original Message- From:

Hi, it’s easy to get Stutter Edit working with Midi in Protools. Put Stutter edit on an audio track as an insert. Create a new midi track. Set the Input to your midi controler, and the output to Stutter edit. I think you need to arm the midi track so that it is record enabled. YOu can trigger

Well, this sort of thing is very subjective. I would have brought the bass up a tad and maybe wetened the snare and toms just a bit, not that eighties big reverb thint, just subtle. But as it has been said, the customer's always right. GOrd -Original

There’s more to midi than just the notes played. Midi can also send bank and patch changes to a keyboard or software. So if you download a song off the internet and load it into a GM compatible player like Quicktime, the midi file tells qt what the different instruments are for each track.

Pro Tools is capable of both importing and exporting standard MIDI files. That's not your problem. Your problem is that you need a General MIDI Instrument. If you have a MIDI module capable of General MIDI, no problem. Hook it up to Pro Tools and you're done. If you don't have a GM synth, there

To tack on to what Slau said, You can import a midi file from the internet, but you are stuck assigning each track to it's own instrument in the air creative collection. It's extremely time consuming. In the cakewalk world, you would assign all the midi tracks to 1 instance of something like
