eq filtering?

[lvly5t]

I know this is a stupid question with a simple solution. I don't know what this technique is called otherwise i would look it up. So how can I take a synth (intro synth) and have a phase effect but on the eq to amp it up for the start of the verse? The best I can explain it is having the highs go up and down?
The eq plug in doesnt seem to have a way to have it move while the snyth is playing. I can set it to certain points but i want it to fluctuate to give it a cheaper sound until the full band hits. similar to this intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw

Not sure if this is your question but you could use plugin automation to automate the db level of a band or two in your EQ plugin, would this work?

[lvly5t]

that was what i was looking for yes. and second question is now that i have done that to two instruments (a synth and white noise through signal generator) an error code pops up (-9403) You are running out of CPU power. Please switch Elastic Audio tracks to render mode, disable Elastic Audio processing, or remove some Native plug-ins. I have a total of four tracks operating on this project and my computer is more than capable.

Heve you optimized your computer for PT and set the audio engine to 1 less than the total cores?

I just got off the phone with customer support and set everything up to the specs it should be (although he said have it stay on using all 4 cores) The guy did say my AMD isnt a supported processor. Any one else run AMD Phenom Quad and have issues?

You might get more help posting a Sandra System report under a new post topic.
I think some peope have gotten AMD's to work to a degree.

Is there a way to get that software for free? To run the Sandra? I have not ever done this and am sadly not where I want to be in my knowledge of computers

Check out the "help us help you" link at the top of the forum page.
Lot's of info there including a link to Sisoft Sandra, it is free for the basic version.
