Hello,
Could anyone explain how to launch these plug-ins (from http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=forums&url=http://wavearts.com/products/suites/master-restoration-suite/)?
Do I need to install a software before (like "http://nav.440network.com/out.php?mmsc=forums&url=http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=197" from Waves)?
Thank you for your help.
WaveArts and Waves have nothing to do with each other.

to work any plug in, you'll need a host. one example is the program Peak, from Bias. there are numerous examples of other editing and tracking programs that host VST or AU plugs.
each host instantiates its plug ins a bit differently, but but basically it's the same.
open your host, open the audio file you'll want to work on. go to the plug in menu, and chose the plug in you want to work with. a window for that plug will open over the audio file's window. make your adjustments, bounce your changes, and re-save the audio file, now with the effects you've printed into ram.
i often rename the re saved file, so i can keep a back up current.
good luck!
Thank you houstonmusic for your help. Now I get it!
I have tried with Audacity and it works. I can see the WaveArts plug-in windows.
But the thing is I can't really adjust a song as I want. Actually I don't know how to display the music in the plug-in window and see its spectrum. I confirm I have opened an audio file before in the host (Audacity).
Maybe you could help.
And do you have any idea about to use this plug-ins with GarageBand?
Thanks!
(Note : sorry, it seems I should have posted in the "Plug-ins and Virtual Instruments" section)
A photo to show the problem (you see, the spectrum doesn't appear in the MR Click window) :
great, you're on your way.
now, i've never used that de click plug in you're showing. but i bet it doesn't display a full waveform, as audacity does. however, i do see that it's got metering... does the plug in show audio on it's meters as it plays? if it does, it's processing the file. i should point out that you've got to play the file for the processing to be active. once you've got your settings, it's possible to select only a small area of the file and 'bounce' it, but to set your plug in parameters, the plug needs to have audio sent to it by playing the file. sorry if that's too basic a concept, just saying... anyhow, if the meters don't show anything when you play the file something is screwy.
GB is able to open AU instruments and plug ins. after you create a track, double click it to edit it, and the edit pane will appear. there are pull down menus, showing compressor, etc, and some will be blank. pull down and examine the list at the bottom. you should see your AU plug ins listed there. some will instantiate with their normal look, some will look different, (a default interface) and some won't open at all. it's a crap shoot. if they open, they should work.
have fun.
not familiar with the plug, but do you have to click the "preview" button first?
ah ha.
yes, i think that audacity is only vst, and that it's not realtime.
select an area of audio, and click the preview button.
cheers.
right right,
of course i meant, it only HOSTS VST. i was writing quickly on the fly.
i'm pretty impressed with what audacity does too, though it's got some behaviors that bug me.
i'm using Peak, unless i'm at the theater where they won't pony up for a license. ; )
same deal though, you're right, gotta use preview to hear it.
thanks for the update on Audacity. it does host AU plugs now. i've got to stay on top of my versions...
What does the attached file dollars.tiff mean?
I have a screenshot of iTunes actually when I click on that link... Excuse-me I am a perfect newbie.
OK I get it , that was a stupid question.
yes
IT WAS STUPIT!
Better to say I GOT IT...
