Kudos & Question

I occasionally read and post on the Buffalo-Rochester board. Recently, I had a question about settings on my CEP 1.1 and 2 and Adobe Audition. A friend recommended I come here for answers. The collegiality and helpfulness of the posters on the board are impressive. What's really refreshing about this board is the way people seem to encourage and assist each other.

I've done production, on air and programming in Buffalo, NY at 97 Rock, WHTT and WGR Newradio 55 for too many years to mention (without being embarrassed about my age.)

I've experienced the same problems with analogue and digital, computers, programs, mixing, limiting, compression, multi-tracking, microphones, boards, rooms, noise, air conditioning (and lack thereof) as everybody and solved a lot of those problems by reading, experimenting and asking equally or more experienced pros for their recommendations. I don't consider myself so much an 'expert' as I do 'experienced.' I've produced my share of clunkers and bricks and along the way, a few things that don't sound all that bad (but could always sound better.)

I may be one of the few old dogs (analogue converts) who thinks some of the processing settings on CEP 1.1 are more effcetive than those found in updates and revisions, although there are fetaures on the updates that are outstanding.

Now a question.

Where are the "favorite" settings, such as shortcuts, (eg: EQ=shift+q) saved in CEP 2.0? I want to be able to access the settings I have saved in one production room PC which has CEP 2.0 and copy them to another production room PC running the same (but properly installed and registered) version of Adobe Audition. We're well networked, so what I thought I'd do is copy the settings from CEP from Prod 4, save them in one of my network accessible folders and
access those same settings in Prod 2 to be copied in Adobe Audition.

Our cluster and group engineers are terrific, but they have bigger fish to fry. Your assistance is appreciated.

Jim,

As I recall, this is not nearly as easy as it used to be. The first thing to try is to find the cool.ini file with Cool Edit and copy it to the other computer. Drag and drop in onto the Audition.exe file. That should copy your presets, but it may not copy your keyboard shortcuts. With Audition (and maybe with CEP) the shortcuts are stored in the registry and you will need to do a registry hack and copy. There are instructions on this at audiomastersforum.org...Just search the archives. But you may be better off just going through and manually changing the Audition shortcuts under OPTIONS > KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS AND MIDI TRIGGERS.

Hope that helps some.

Jim,

I too feel the same way about the processing settings on 1.1 I recently upgraded to 2.0 and while 2.0 has more to choose from i still find the old 1.1 settings sounded better. For instance, in 1.1 i used the 4:1 compression ratio, 20db. I loved the limiting and it squeezed it just the way i liked it. However the closest to that setting on 2.0 is the 4:1 compression, 24 db, VERY FAST Release. It just doesn't sound as good as the other one.

Anyhoo, good luck.
