Hey,
I have no idea, although I’m pretty certain that there are such plugins either built in or as 3rd party effects.
Come on you Mac users out there, tell him how cool it is that you can boot into XP and use Windows software on your Macs!!

Hey,
I am a fellow Audition user…on the Mac, I think the only thing that has both a waveform editor AND multi-track is Apple’s Soundtrack Pro. In fact, I would even argue that their developers were ‘inspired’ by Audition (or maybe Cool Edit?).

Hey,
I’m a laptop user as well, Dell Inspiron 8100 (PIII 1.2ghz), it’s very slow but I can work while watching tv.
A buddy of mine has a new mac laptop running After Effects, it is PAINFULLY slow because it AE hasn’t yet been made ‘universal’ to run on the new Intel processors.
My advice, based on that, is to not even worry about it. If you like your laptop, who cares if it runs faster on someone else’s?

Hey,
Quick and dirty, won’t have to mess with codecs and software…
Open an audio editor, set your soundcard to record from the ‘wave’ input (on a PC, not sure what it is on a mac), hit record, then play your quicktime file. The audio from quicktime should pass through the soundcard’s wave input and get recorded into the audio editor. Trim it, save it, and you’re ready to go onto the next step.

Hey,
Thank you both for your replies. I am using Deep Burner as my burning app (my favorite burning program, it’s so small and efficient) and I have two Pioneer burners, one is 8x, the other is 16x, I’m going to toss them both into a machine and see if I can get it working.

Hey,
Chris is right, I’m getting my Nyquist numbers all jacked up…I read in theory that FM is as good as 32khz digital audio, therefore make a sharp low-pass filter at 16khz (which is 1/2 of 32khz) to get rid of anything above 16khz.

Hey,
Gear aside, you need a good voice to start with; a thin voice still sounds thin, even with eq’ing and compression. Sometimes dropping the voice through a pitch shifter down a few cents will compensate.
Talent aside, dynamic compression is important, radio stations crush the heck out of audio to make their signal as loud as possible. On no compressor, either software or hardware, are you going to find a ‘fat dj’ preset…you have to play with it.
An Eventide would be nice…if you have the money 🙂
A good mic, preferably condenser, will certainly help.
Something else…remember that on FM radio there is a limit to what frequencies are passed from the transmitter to the receiver, I think it maxes out at 32khz. Apply a sharp low pass filter at 32k, maybe cut some of the bass, then run it through the compressor. You want your sound to be LOUD and IN YOUR FACE like the dj is sitting right in front of you.
For extra fun, to get the ‘sunday sunday SUNDAY’ sound associated with monster truck races, run the voice through a very slight delay with no repeats.
At my work (a high school) we do this effect very nicely using a cheap dynamic mic, SoundBlaster Live! card, and the effects built into Audition. It’s not perfect when played side-by-side with the real thing, but to the untrained ear it sounds just like a radio dj because the audience is hearing the deep voice and the compression.

Chris,
I’m fairly new to this, if anyone finds fault with my post, please correct me.
Go here and download the free maps:
https://www.truearth.com/free&specials/free_truearth_content.htm
You can take the shaded relief map and apply it to the bump channel of your material, it will ‘look’ 3d.
These maps are for the entire earth, I suppose you could tinker around with them in Photoshop to only display North America.
Take care,

Hey,
I tried this the other night…look for an illustrator/eps file of North America, bring it into C4d as a spline, and drop it into an extrude nurb. Works like a charm, I’ll post my illustrator file if you need it.
Take care,
Nick

Brian,
Thank you for replying and posting the file. I posted this question on the AE forum as well (a lot of C4d users hang out there), I ended up modeling the holes, you can check it out here:
