The problem with this setting is that somehow it still won't sound as professional as desired. We don't want them to get lost among the other frequencies the compressor will bring up.Ĭompressor + EQ: Compress it first, then add your EQ's and you might get a better result, specially if first you add a high-pass filter and then a peaking EQ to boost the desired frequencies. Long story short, as mentioned in step 1, we want to highlight the frequencies we were looking for. There are many reasons why a common compression is not enough for vocals. While a common compressor works great with many instruments and sound effects, you shouldn't be using it when producing vocals. That said, I'm sure that your DAW ( digital audio workstation) will have a couple of alternatives which might be even better than the ones I'm using right now.Ĭompressor: plain and simple, it makes the whole sound louder and then it lowers the loudest parts, reducing the overall dynamic range.
This may not tell you what's really going on though. When you drop a sample into Newtone it will recognise the most prominent note.
The biggest weakness of Newtone in this context is that it's not polyphonic.
Like Edison, Newtone is tightly integrated with FL Studio work-flow. I used to use it for some things before I got Melodyne. I'm a zealous FruityLoops Studios user, so don't expect me to name any ProTools or Cubase plugins. Newtone is Image-Line’s Pitch & Time Editor plugin.
