Activity Forums Avid Media Composer AudioSuite Tutorial?

  • AudioSuite Tutorial?

    Posted by Alan Howard on July 10, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    Hi all,
    I’ve been happily editing with Media Composer 3.0 for a while now but have never got to grips with AudioSuite.
    The interface is a complete mystery so I’ve never even tried … It would be very useful to do simple tasks like compress and normalize with exiting Avid and I suspect there is a whole impressive kit of parts under the bonnet ….

    Can anyone recommend a tutorial?

    thanks in advance …

    Alan

    The manual is prolly the best place to start if not getting audio suite. You’ll find launching it and dinkin’ around becomes pretty self-explainitory though.

    I second Grinner’s idea of starting with the manual. Just realize that to apply more than one AudioSuite plugin you’ll have to render and bounce down to another track. Unfortunately Premiere eats Avid’s lunch where audio is concerned.

    If you’re at all familiar with Protools, you should find most of the effects looking quite familiar (for a reason). As already said in here, Avid is unfortunately not particularly great for audio effects and mixing, mostly because they assume that you’re going to finish in protools for anything beyond some level adjustments.

    That kind of attitude is nothing uncommon with Avid. It’s not a problem if you are going to work the way they expect you to; but if you want to do something a little better than a mockup early on, or don’t intend to use thier higher-end stuff it gets to be irritating quickly.
