Brian,
I have to completely disagree with you. I think this has all and everything
to do with PT. When I record in say, Sonar, my recordings are not
mainstream quality, no, but they're way cleaner. Maybe part of it is I
don't exactly know how to mix, but I think all of it plays hand in hand.
Fine, if you think, and I know you meant this in, and I quote: good
spirit... that this has not much to do with PT accessibility, then let's
dial it back home. As I said initially, what in PT could I do and what with
VO is the best way to do so, to fix this clipping issue/mud issue? I'm
sorry that you and others are so... good... and no everything. I can't help
I'm starting out. For me reading a manual, just doesn't work! With my
learning challengement, it makes things very difficult. I don't very easily
comprehend what I read. This is why I need someone like you all who can
make a few suggestions, let me try 'em, and see if they make things better
or worse, then plan accordingly for the next step of action. I'm sorry I'm
so stupid at all this stuff, but if I didn't wanna learn I wouldn't be here.
Your suggestion to google was an excellent one, and believe me I have, but
I'm getting absolutely nowhere, either the articles are completely
irrellavant, or are thigns I already have tried taking into consideration,
or they're the obvious things more for a basic person who just wants to
say... voice chat with a 5 dollar pc mike and wonders why they're getting
clipping. Gee, $5! Hmm, I wonder! Point is, telling peole to go google,
or to RTFM, etc. though that might be a good idea eventually, maybe not
right at first when you're starting and need to learn the fundimentals.
If you still disagree, then I'll respectfully leave you alone, and agree to
disagree, but maybe perhaps, someone should then make a list that strictly
doesn't cover software, but more hardware, and more the concepts of audio
production. Then everyone could join and post there, causing more e-mail
conjestion, rather than consolidating to one list, and people like you who
don't see the rellavance wouldn't have to worry about getting bombarded as
you seem to be remotely implying.
I'm a newby, so I'm gonna have a lot of questions, a lot of which may have
to do with how to set things up to work in PT correctly. if this isn't the
list for that just boot my butt off of here, tell me why you're doing so, be
polite about it, and I'll go my own merry way, and learn on my own. I think
people like Kevin etc. would agree however I'm doing nothing wrong, and the
only way to learn is to ask questions.
Sorry for the long mail, but I couldn't just let your comments go undelt
with.
I see your point, in your defense, but put youself in my shoes as a complete
newby. Wouldn't you want help rather than someone just saying RTFM, go
google. To me that's almost pushing me away from the list which I feel is a
priceless source for help when nothing else seems to make sense.
Chris.
