Long live the monk. lol.

Can't see anything in your screen capture, Dane. The only way to tell what it does is to post 'before' and 'after' mixes.
"Presets" means you don't adjust anything, you just throw the tracks into the software and it does whatever it does.

..I am just stating what I remember without looking at all the evidence.. maybe I am wrong but do not think so..

You better look at the evidence, because you are wrong. We gave advice, he ignored it, started boasting and then insulting and has yet to post any music worth listening too. The "Jasir studio" he's been promoting (I'm sure he's the "jeff' he keeps referring to) is a private house and the Jasir website shows a guy who transfers VHS tapes to DVD (geez, anyone can do that with a $50 dubbing deck, I have one!)

well, I guess I can upload "Court Jester" again to Soundcloud and label it test2 or something? tell me you are up for that and I'll do it..otherwise won't waste my 5gb a month alotted bandwidth

Court Jester while recording with a microphone had the sliders peaked out and it was still low volume on playback, it's on soundcloud right now, I can upload the wav file that has been enhanced by WavePad and it sounds a thousand fold better.. wow.. now I will have to delete everything and get "remastered" wav files back up..t

Alert! Alert! Some musicians on BM are azzholes posing as musicians and I'm calling them out. They got a lot to say and sh*t to play. These punks can't wait to discredit anything you do, but who the f*ck passed them the ball? Notice how these hoez troll and run...no music...no collabs (worth mentioning) How can you say i dissed your music that's not even f*cking music? Music sells. Numbers count. Acts gig. They don't have either, but they can tell you how to get'em...how? Playing old azz instruments in hotel parking lots and restrooms? lmao. F*ck these wannabes. You ain't stopping sh%t and never were legit. I'm about to get you some big numbers, dayne. Get a haircut you f*cking bums and burn those tourist t-shirts...they stink. Get a fan while your at it, hoe and stay off d*cks even when they fit.

WOW!!! Someone's off his meds! Sorry, Dane, looks like NotReady has taken your thread onto a different track...

Mike, I apologize for ever defending that person.

I should have paid more attention to the context before accusing you of being unfair with mr cookie here.

Go to "ready, busy and back for more" to see me get things done. New music, pics and upcoming vid. monk time.

Hey Schmeddy,

I'm going through Phoenix tonight about beer:thirty.

Don't suppose you're out tonight? Wish I could sing, my throat is gone from using house systems last weekend. But probably getting a room in Phoenix on my way to LA

I'll check back in about 9PM

Mike, you said nyou used a dozen vocoders? ..are you using the free plug-in types?like at bassgorilla? or is the local music store loaning them out to you..? damn Mike, your vocal is really enhanced sounding.. what other vocal FX are you using?

and also Mike, are you still using toontracks EZdrummer?( MSRP $149.00 ) for your percussion?..it sounds like a real live drummer..

Sorry, that was a mistype, now corrected. I used two different vocoders, both free plug-ins. I have one vocoder inserted directly onto each of 2 different vocal tracks, and each one is panned 3/4 left or right. Then I took both of those tracks and sent them (pre-vocoder) to a separate bus track and put the other vocoder on it, and also had to EQ that one because there was a nasty ring frequency happening.
Besides that, the main vocal has the 'Ozzifier' plug-in on it, set at 3 voices, with just a little timing/frequency offset, and then that is sent to 2 delay busses (this is the Abbey Road delay trick), each panned full left or right, one at 1/4 beat delay, the other at 1/8 beat, with a narrrow band EQ (lows and highs cut off as well as a mid-notch - another Abbey Road trick) on them.

and also Mike, are you still using toontracks EZdrummer?( MSRP $149.00 ) for your percussion?..it sounds like a real live drummer..

EZDrummer 2 - has some nice features compared to EZD1. I also do a lot of MIDI re-writing of the drum tracks after setting them, and do changes and fills so that it doesn't have the same continous beat pattern all the time.

Well the only way to see what it does is to compare. I listened to Court Jester, and I can tell you its pretty 'hissy'. That noise would be in the original recording, but when the volume is boosted by the s/w, it becomes more noticeable.
I'd be checking to see where the noise is coming from - what level are you recording at? Tracking at -18 to -12dBfs is good for digital recording, but if you've got a high noise floor with your equipment, you'd need to track louder (but it sounds like a noisy mic preamp turned up too high to me).

Stillwell plug-ins? for the ozzifier? somebody at the reaper forum gave a 7 second clip and it sounded like metal hitting metal in a hammer blow fashion? damn, I guess I will go to Stillwell site and look around..I need to dress up my vocals, I ain't a singer but since I am having no luck finding a singer..and I have a couple tunes with me singing and sounding like sh*t..

GuitarMike, I cleaned it up quite a bit I think, I uploaded Court Jester (remix) onto soundcloud, I inceased the volume at same speaker volume setting by expanding the waveform envelope, which to my understanding can not be done with Ableton LIVE 9 LITE edition, also used the noise reduction feature a noise gate AUTO SPECTRAL SUBTRACTION, I think you will find most of the hiss is gone, and also used auto-trim at the end when I messed up the parameters by a couple seconds when I exported the audio.. listen to Court Jester (REMIX) and see if you can hear the difference..? I will delete the older one once I have heard back from you..tnx
