Use of Dynamics...

RobertMcDade	Date: June 16, 2005 @ 10:15 PM Could someone explain what the Dynamics filters in Cool Edit do exactly? I can't seem to put my finger on it, but I know they can possibly make my vocals sound better. Also, if any one knows any good filters to add to raw vocal tracks that can make them sound better, please share!

joshmerfi	Date: August 5, 2005 @ 10:39 PM I'm not too sure if you mean dynamics processing under amplitude or the dynamic eq under filters. Either way, dynamics processing is compression which squashes your track and can add life to it. Don't over do it or it will sound like flat. The dynamic eq I'm not too sure about, I don't use it. I believe it's just what it sounds like, an eq that changes throughout the course of the song. I personally use Izotope Ozone for eq, compression, and all of that good stuff in Cool Edit. It's mainly used for mastering, but you can use for vocal or instrument tracks as well.

mpsycho	Date: August 6, 2005 @ 1:49 PM I usually just use the default "Vocal Compressor" setting in Dynamics Processing and it works fine. Then I'll add the reverb after compression. Depends on what you are trying to do with your track. Just be sure to compress first, add all the other shiznit later and keep things simple for vocals, and that's what usually sounds best.
