| Post subject: | New Toy! Need help with compression settings, etc. |
I have been looking for a decent vocal processor for a while, and found a great deal on a DBX ProVocal: http://www.dbxpro.com/product_downloads ... manual.pdf Got it for $50.00 on my local craigslist. I consider myself very proficient technically, but have never worked with a compressor or de-esser, which is what I intend to use this unit for. Can anyone suggest some base settings for each, and I can tweak from there? Compressor Parameters: Threshhold, Gain, Ratio, Attack, Release De-Esser Parameters: Frequency (800Hz-8kHz), De-Esser Amount (sensitivity/release time) Thanks for any help! |

So you are going to have this on one mic only. Is this for recording? Unfortunately, it was a short lived product. For compression, i'd set the Threshold around -10. Ratio 3:1-4:1. Attack & Release, well since this doesn't offer an auto option (nice for karaoke), i'd set them to probably a higher number meaning a slower response for a gradual compression over a quicker response, however if you are using it for different singers, then you may be adjusting this all night for every singer. As far as de-essers, I really don't use them so can't help on settings there. |

Start with a ratio of 4:1, attack of 10ms and release of 250ms. Set the threshold so that the compressor only engages (shows gain reduction) on the peaks for that channel. D-esser, honestly will change with each singer, I'd personally recommend not using it. |
