This means that there are 95 beats in 60 seconds. Stephen Webber (Berklee College) a few years ago. This is something I picked up from a seminar with Prof. I always do a spot of math and give myself a delay that's time-wise appropriate for the tempo I'm using. Mostly I use the 1/16th note option.ħ) Lastly, below are my Reverb settings. I always prefer to synch it to the host tempo.

I did fiddle with it a bit for "Tomorrow". (2500 Hz seems to be a good fall-back frequency - I'm not sure if the ess sound is male/female dependent - it probably isn't seeing that it's an unvoiced hissing sound)Ħ) I don't always use delay so I suspect that this came about as a consequence of "Clear Country". (I'd imagine this order was set with the "Clear Country" preset as I rarely change the order I'm given.)ģ) Here are my Saturation settings (I tend to favour 'Tube' and 'Warm' when I use it).Ĥ) With the compressor settings, I follow iZotope's advice where they say that peak detection is useful when trying to even out sudden peaks in your music and that RMS detection is useful when trying to increase the overall volume level without changing the character of the sound.ĥ) DeEsser settings. The asterisk beside the name says that I've modified it.ġ) In case you're not aware, it's possible to drag the various Nectar plugins around and to change their order. First off, I began with the "Clear Country" preset. From there, I may or may not make adjustments.įor my recent song, "I Can See Tomorrow", here's how the settings ended up. I find the presets terrific and I always start with one that, to my mind, seems to suit the arrangement I'm trying to put together.
