Cool Edit Pro 2.0 detailed tutorial (GO)

The system introduces a whole process of recording self-singing songs with Cooledit Pro 2.0, hoping to help friends who like singing and want to sing a song.

Recording Ost
Recording is the basis of all post-production processing, this link problem, is unable to rely on late processing to remedy, so, if the original recording has a larger problem, re-record it.
1, open the CE into the multi-track interface right click on the track 1 blank, insert the mp3 accompaniment file you want to record the song, WAV can also (Figure 1).

(Fig. 1)

2. Choose to record your vocals in track 2 and press the "R" button. (Fig. 2)

(Fig. 2)

3. Press the red key at the bottom left and follow the accompaniment music to start singing and recording. (Fig. 3)

(Fig. 3)

4, after recording, you can click on the lower left radio key to audition, see if there is a serious error, whether to re-record (Figure 4)

(Fig. 4)

5, double-click the audio Track 2 into the waveform editing interface (Figure 5), you recorded the original voice file saved as mp3PRO format (Figure 6 Figure 7), the previous introduction is to let everyone save as WAV format, in fact, MP3 is absolutely possible, and can save a lot of space.

(Fig. 5)

(Fig. 7)

(note) need to explain first: to close the speaker when recording, through the headset to listen to the accompaniment, follow the accompaniment of singing and recording, before recording, be sure to adjust your total volume and microphone volume, this is essential! Mike's volume is best not to exceed the total volume, slightly smaller is better, because if Mike volume is too large, will cause the recorded wave to form a square wave, the sound of this waveform is distorted, such a waveform is useless, no matter how high your level, it is impossible to deal with satisfactory results.
Another: If your Mike is always input from the headphones out of the accompaniment of music, it is recommended that you use a common large microphone, as long as the addition of a big turn small connector can be used directly on the computer, you will find that the effect of the recording is much cleaner.

Noise reduction Processing

Noise reduction is a crucial step, and doing well is conducive to further beautify your voice below, do bad will lead to sound distortion, completely destroy the original soundtrack. This single step alone is sufficient to provide a dedicated explanation, which is clear to all.
1. Click the Waveform Horizontal Zoom button at the bottom left (two with the + sign for horizontal and vertical amplification respectively) to enlarge the waveform to find a suitable waveform for noise sampling (Figure 8).

(Fig. 8)

2. Drag the left mouse button until the highlight area completely covers the segment of the waveform you selected (Figure 9).

(Fig. 9)

3. Right-click on the Highlight section select "Copy as new" to pull the waveform out (Figure 10).

(Fig. 10)

4. Turn on "effect-noise cancellation-noise reduction" to prepare for noise sampling (Figure 10).

5. Perform noise sampling. The parameters in the noise reduction can be changed by default values, which may result in greater distortion of the vocals after noise reduction (Figure 11)

(Fig. 11)

6. Save the sample results (Figure 12)

(Fig. 12)

7. Turn off the noise cancelling device and this waveform (do not need to be saved).

8. Go back to the voice file in the waveform editing interface, turn on the noise reduction device, load the previously saved noisy sampling for de-noising, point to determine before noise reduction, you can preview the effect after the noise reduction (such as distortion is too large, indicating that noise reduction sampling inappropriate, need to re-sampling or adjustment parameters, a little to explain, No matter how the noise reduction will have a certain damage to the soundtrack (Fig. 13 Fig. 14 Fig. 15)

(Fig. 13)

(Fig. 15)

High-pitched excitation processing

1. Click "Effect--directx--bbe Sonic Maximizer" To open the BBE tweeter (Figure 16).

(Fig. 16)

2. After loading the various effects in the preset drop-down menu (or full manual adjustment of the three knobs) the "preview" at the bottom right of the point exciter is repeated, until the desired effect is adjusted, the point determines the high-pitched excitation of the soundtrack. (Fig. 17 Fig. 18)

(Fig. 17)

(Fig. 18)

(note) This process is intended to adjust the treble and bass portions of the recorded vocals, making the sounds clearer, brighter or heavier. The role of motivation is to produce harmonics, to modify and beautify the sound, to produce a pleasant auditory effect, it can enhance the frequency of sound, improve the clarity, brightness, volume, warmth and heavy sense, so that the sound more tension.

Pressure limit Treatment

1. Click "Effect--directx--waves--c4" to open the WaveC4 pressure limiting effect (Figure 19).

(Fig. 19)

2. After loading the various effects in the preset drop-down menu (if you have enough knowledge of the digital audio, you can manually adjust) the "preview" at the bottom right of the point to repeat the audition until it is tuned to a satisfactory effect, click OK to limit the sound to the original (Figure 20).

(Fig. 20)

(note) The purpose of the pressure limit, the popular is to put your recorded sound from the overall adjustment of the balance of some, not to suddenly large and small, and suddenly high and low.

Reverb processing

1. Click "Effect--directx--ultrafunk fx--reverb R3" to open the reverb effect (Figure 21).

(Fig. 21)

2. After loading the various effects in the preset drop-down menu (or manually adjusting) the "preview" at the bottom right of the point is repeated, until the desired reverb effect is adjusted, the point determines the reverb processing of the soundtrack, as shown in the commonly used effects (Figure 22 Figure 23).

(Fig. 22)

(Fig. 23)

Once you've done the reverb, you can make your voice look less dry, rounded and thicker.

At this point, the processing of the vocals is all over.

Mix-and-shrink synthesis

1. Click Edit-Shrink to file-full waveform to mix the accompaniment with the processed vocals (Figure 24).

(Fig. 24)

Point "file-Save as" to save the mixed-up file as mp3PRO format (Figure 25)!!

(Fig. 25)

Your masterpiece is finished!
