Recording with Plug-in
I was in my studio with a friend this past weekend recording vocals when I got a error message. I don't recall the specific error, but that's not really important to my question. Can you record on a track with plug-ins active on the track? This was my first time trying this. When the plug-in was on..."error", off..."no error".

Re: Recording with Plug-in
Compression is a plugin that really does not work tracking/ Sure it will compress the sound but if it clipped the convertors it is before the plugin. So you can not effectively use an in the box compressor to tame transients when tracking

Re: Recording with Plug-in
Actually you still can compress on the way in to tame transients if you don't clip the convertors on the way in. To prevent that you need a limiter on the way in to the convertors.

Re Musicman's comment on latency, its a good reason to show latency in the MIX window and learn which plugins have latency, and how much. For instance, BF76 has no latency(no problem there). SMACK! has 1 sample of latency(not really a problem there either), but Autotune or Maxim have over 1000 samples of latency(so that's a HUGE problem for timing and monitoring).

Re: Recording with Plug-in
I personally track with the Avid Pro Compressor in the mix sent to my artists on their vocals, and also I use the air moddelay 3 to do a touch spaciousness they prefer it to reverb. Input gain is barely touching the yellow on peaks it's around -18 dbfs when not peaking. Latency is at it's bare minimum since I'm using PT 11 and it has it's own independent input buffer for tracking.

Re: Recording with Plug-in
Thanks for all the responses.
Musicman you answered my question all the same....it can be done. That's all I wanted to know. The reason why I said the error was not important is because I was asking a general question. I just wanted to know if it could be done. |

Re: Recording with Plug-in
Also I know what plug-in caused my problem.....I normally don't record with plug-ins on the track. I use them after. I was just trying something different.

Re: Recording with Plug-in
Different rules for different plugins, insert or Aux sends ect, but you can do things so many different ways
Dave, I miss riding the faders and two inch tape but I love editing in PT. I can clean up while I am tracking someone. The editing makes all the hassles worth it. I still use my outboard gear for 8 channels. It took me forever to accumulate all my gear. |
