Hi folks! I’m running a net station that’s a mixture of hits from the 1970s to the present. That’s a wide range of decades, genres and sounds, and I’m looking for ideas on which preset might work best. I’ve been running Plutonium with noise reduction and Jesse G’s stereo enhancer settings from another thread. I haven’t tweaked the settings because outside of final drive, I’m not sure what they all do (my broadcasting area is in programming and on-air, not engineering). Any suggestions (or your own settings, if you run a station like mine) are appreciated. If you want to listen to the stream, here’s two links. The first is my 128k stream, the second is 32k AAC.
range is how much to compress the audio, speed is how fast the compression of the audio works, power spreads out the dynamics of the audio. final drive makes the audio loud or not so loud, the guys here will explain it in more detail. for your station you could try motor city all though plutonium is good to. play around with the presets turning up and down the power speed range and final drive until you get something you like.
If the range is set to 50, what does that translate to as a ratio? Is it the same for each preset? Does a higher range value equal higher compression? I know that’s a lot of questions, but I really don’t know the answers. The more I know, the better I can fine-tune Live for the sound I want.
I’m aware of that; I’m just wondering, in the board’s opinion, what would be the best starting point.
My music mix covers songs from the early 70’s to the present. It’s mostly pop and rock, but there’s also urban, alternative, triple-A and even the rare country crossover. That’s a lot of recording styles and dynamics are going to vary, especially comparing an older song with the overprocessed mishmash that’s put out today. What I’m looking for is the "happy medium" that will make if not all, most if it, sound good. Plutonium is very, very close, but I’m still not totally happy with it.
I’ve tried this since this morning and listened to several hours, and it’s sounding great to me. Thanks for the suggestion, Timmywa. Would you mind listening to the stream for a bit when you have time?
Don, your station sounds and looks great! I love your Flash players, where did you find those? Hit me up sometime and we can chat: timmywa at gmail dot com
Thanks!
Don,
Still listening and LOVING your station! Have you made any more adjustments? It’s sounding really good! Loving Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson!!
