I am sorry for the completely stupid question, and I KNOW that it would be easy to just look in the program tonight when I get home, but I am dying of curiosity....
Does adobe audition 1.5 have a compressor?

Feb 24, 2005 09:29 am Thanks dB. I couldn't wait until I got home tonight to look. I bought the program yesterday, But I really can't do anything with drum tracks until this weekend, as I am waiting for my mic kit to get here tomorrow, and my XLR cables to arrive on saturday. I started playing with a dry drum track that WYD sent me, and I got a pretty good feel for the program now. I also played with the effects for my guitar part. I LOVE the hiss reducer... It takes up a lot of slack that the AC97 sound card leaves behind.
after 7 hrs of playing with the program yesterday... AA 1.5 gets two thumbs up for ease of use and features. It is everything a know-nothing guy like me needs to start out.
Feb 24, 2005 10:54 am Cool Edit Pro has one, so I would assume that AA does as well. I never use it, though, so I can't speak for its quality. I use some of the free VST plugins that others around here have directed me to.

Feb 24, 2005 03:38 pm Yes AA has a compressor, it's called a Dynamics Processor in AA though. It's pretty full featured and works very well. It is a bit more processor intensive than the free VST/DX compressors you can get, but it does alot more than most of them.

Feb 24, 2005 10:56 pm I like it fine, but it is difficult to add much more than a half dozen in to my tracks without *really* slowing things down (AMD 1.4gHz). It is very "tweakable". You can have multiple "knees" and thresholds.

Feb 25, 2005 08:58 am wow... what else do you have running on your computer at the same time? I have an AMD 1.3 Gig, and I was talking to WYD on MSN while editing 1 of 15 tracks I had just recorded. I havent had that problem yet.

Feb 25, 2005 05:00 pm I had 8 tracks of pre-recorded stereo audio "pieces", 96kHz-24bit, (I should say 4 sets of stereo), with 3 tracks of mono "repairs" and all the assorted cross-fades into & out of "parts", limiting on the "main" and home-brew 3-band compression on the busses. What I did was convert damaged 2-track tapes (over 20 years old) to digital and attempted to "improve" it. Folds in the tape from edge damage, drop-outs from it's age, and VERY poor sound board technique on the original recording (level & pan changes out the wazoo, vocals off-center, etc.). Oh, and a reverb (which is probably the real culprit). It helped, but I still can't decide if it was worth the effort.
