Comping

As it happens. this weekend I was overdubbing some guitar tracks and when I got to the lead I thought I'd be clever and record a couple of takes. As as work around to the comping thing I automated the speaker on option on each individual take and sent the final lead to a new channel, but whilst I ...

Comp-ared

I've seen various tutorials in CM and FM and looked on Logics site at the vocal comping function in Logic8 and have drooled each time. Now you could say that Apple have only just come out with this feature, which is true, but vocals have always been easier in Cubase and Logic...however I would love ...

Rokko,

I'm no expert (disclaimer!! :lol: ) but what you're best off doing is using a compressor set to about 4-5:1 ratio and about 20dB with a quick attack (1-10ms) and a medium release (about 250ms I think). This should give you a reasonably level sound. If you're editing the audio separately I ...
