Audio Editing Questions...

Jay Peninger

Jay Peninger

Recently I upgraded to Adobe Audition for my audio production and having used Krystal & Audacity in the past I am a tad overwhelmed but gradually getting used to the program.

My question is does anyone use Audition and if so what Plugins and Filters do you suggest be added as I am preparing new audio to give our branding some continuity and edge.

On that same note does anyone know somebody who does station branding at reasonable rates? While I am quite sure I could do it I know I don't have the pipes I am looking for...
 
I've been using Adobe since it was called Cool Edit. There are many things you can do with it right out of the box. The most used things I can think of the is Dynamic processing which can be used to beef up your production and keep levels tight. I use the pittch/strech feature to keep spots at exactly 60 or 30 seconds. As long as you arn't over or under by more than a few seconds it works fine.

EQ is also usefull. Play with it until you find what you like. Not located in the effects but in the favorites I believe is a neat program that removes vocals. Ofcourse, mix downs are wonderfull but this isn't the program I would use to edit music. You'll want Cakewalk or Final Cut for that but gnereally speaking this is a good bread and butter program to produce professional sound. I love it
 
DITTO on using the "concept" since the days of Cool Edit. (The help desk at Adobe gets really red-in-the-face and bent out of shape when you say this is the same program as Cool Edit.)

You might want to post your question in the PRODUCTION forum in the RADIO PROS sub-section. In fact, just reading back through that forum may answer you question. I know a few of those folks have talked about some VST Plug-ins they have added. I have play with a couple trying to find a good limiter/leveler for long-form speech. Most of the plug-ins seem to be for people who want really biting, state-of-the-art modern day novelty effects (which I think I read a little of in your original question.)

I keep watching the bookstores for books on Adobe Audition. The only one I have found so far is "Audio Editing with Adobe Audition" by Richard Riley who writes from the British view of the world. I'm not sorry I bought the book... I found some help in it, but there is way too much: "Go to such-and-such menu and select thus and so." Nice. would you like to tell lme where to find such-and-such menu? Common problem in technical books. Having the same problem currently with books on my new camera.
 
not sure what type editing your speaking of..i had cool edit some time ago, never played with it enough to get familiar..and i use audacity at times if i want to overdub or multitrack something ..but as far as splicing and dicing files together i use roxio 7..newer versions out there, but i've been using that for several years to pull things off you tube, or any place on the net. you can load it on the bottom of the page, put your feed on top and hit record it will record it..then you can edit out whatever or insert from another file you have.i use it to put radio jungles and voicers together, record spots, etc..has fade in and out, eq,reverb etc..sound quality is first rate.i know there are many more sophisticated programs out there,..but most of the time just a simple copy,cut, process, paste tool is all you need..should find cheap versions on ebay for under twenty bucks........

I've used Ron Harper for about a year and a half now. He does great work with fast turnaround and reasonable rates.
