I don't whether it's my Powerbook or Digital Performer 4.1, but a lot of the music I've recorded on both has a rather cold, 'digital' sound. Does anyone know the best way to improve this?
My biggest problem with DP lies with the plugins. I can't get the reverbs to sound any good at all. And I just can't get anything close to a lush, 'full' vocal sound either. Can anyone help?

As far as reverbs go, Altiverb has done wonders for me.
The Apple AU reverb that comes with DP4 is noisy and harsh. Altiverb is about 6 or 7 hundred dollars but it has what is called 'impulse responses' that simulate verious acoustical environments. With my humble G4 dual 533mhz processor I just use an SM 57 and the vocals are perfectly acceptable. A nice preamp is next on my wish list and will do wonders to improve my sound. From what I hear Presonis has an affordable preamp that should do the trick. |
