Hi guys,
well, I am going to ask you some strange questions...
I am sorry if some of them might be o.t. questions, but I am really curious...
I hope I could learn alot from your replies, so let's start...
1. This summer I am planning to study very hard protools and its wonderful
features; but I have no knowleges about audio editing, mixing and mastering; is
there any book (also in English) that explains how all-effects (reverb,
overdrive, limiters, phaser, etc) work, how to pump-up bass, synth or drum
tracks, how to set up a compressor properly, how to aggiust the track' volumes
and other related things, and how to apply this knowleges in pro tools? Of
course it should be an "accessible book", because I am blind and I could
understand pictures that represents screenshots without text-descriptions...
2. What's about vocal tracks? Surfing the Internet, I understod that many
people use Melodyne to aggiust vocal tracks. But what's about us? Is Melodyne
accessibile with voiceover as a stand-alone program, as a plug-in for protools
or as a "bridge" between Melodyne and Protools (rewiring Melodyne into
protools)? If not, what do you use to get professional vocals or to create
"poliphonic vocal tracks"?
3. I eard that exist some qualifications created by Avid to certificate the
ability to use protools. Would it be possible for a blind person to get this
qualifications (for instance the protools 101, 110)? If not, which are the
problems for us to get this qualifications?
I hope your replies could help me to get the results I would like to get (not
to become an audio-engineer, but just to produce dance songs that sounds quite
good)...
Vincenzo.
