Cool Edit Pro 2.0 detailed tutorial

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

Recording the original sound Recording is the basis of all post-production processing. If there is a problem in this link, it cannot be remedied by post-processing. Therefore, if there is a big problem with the original recording, re-record it. 1. Open the CE and enter the multi-track interface. Right-click on the blank of the track 1 and insert the mp3 accompaniment file of the song you want to record. Wav can also be used (Fig. 1).

(Fig. 1)

2. Select to record your voice on Track 2 and press the “R” button. (Fig. 2)

(Fig. 2)

3. Press the red recording button on the lower left to start singing and recording with the accompaniment music. (Fig. 3)

(Fig. 3)

4. After recording, you can click the lower left button to audition to see if there is any serious error, whether to re-record (Fig. 4)

(Fig. 4)

5. Double-click track 2 to enter the waveform editing interface (Fig. 5), and save the original vocal file you recorded in mp3pro format (Fig. 6 Fig. 7). In the previous introduction, I saved everyone as a wav format. In fact, mp3 is absolutely ok, and it can save a lot of space.

(Note) Need to explain first Yes: Turn off the speaker during recording, listen to the accompaniment through the headphones, sing and record with the accompaniment, and adjust your total volume and mic volume before recording. This is very important! The volume of the microphone should not exceed the total volume, which is slightly smaller, because if the microphone volume is too large, the recorded waveform will become a square wave. The waveform of this waveform is distorted, and such a waveform is useless. No matter how high your level is, it is impossible to handle satisfactory results. Another: If your Mike always enters the sound of the accompaniment music from the headphones, I suggest you use a normal large microphone, just add a large and small connector to use directly on the computer, you will find the recorded The effect should be much cleaner.

Noise Reduction

Noise reduction is a crucial step. Doing it well will further enhance your voice. If you don't do well, it will cause the sound to be distorted and completely destroy the original sound. This step alone is enough to give a special space to explain specifically, everyone knows this. 1. Click on the waveform horizontal zoom button at the bottom left (the two with the + sign for horizontal and vertical magnification) to amplify the waveform to find a suitable waveform for noise sampling (Figure 8).

(Fig. 8)

2. Click the left mouse button and drag until the highlighted area completely covers the waveform you selected (Figure 9).

(Fig. 9)

3. Right click on the highlight and select “Copy as new” to extract the waveform (Figure 10).

(Fig. 10)

4. Turn on & ldquo; Effect - Noise Cancellation - Noise Detector & rdquo; Prepare for noise sampling (Figure 10).

5. Perform noise sampling. The parameters in the noise reducer can be changed according to the default value, and it may cause a large distortion of the vocal after the noise reduction (Fig. 11)

(Fig. 11)

6. Save the sampling result (Fig. 12)

(Fig. 12)

7. Turn off the noise reducer and this waveform (no need to save).

8. Go back to the vocal file in the waveform editing interface, open the noise reducer, load the previously saved noise samples for noise reduction, and before confirming the noise reduction, you can preview the audition after a noise reduction. The effect (such as distortion is too large, indicating that the noise reduction sampling is not suitable, need to re-sampling or adjust the parameters, one thing to note, no matter what way of noise reduction will have some damage to the original sound) (Figure 13 Figure 14 Figure 15)

Treble excitation processing

1. Click on “ Effect--DirectX--BBE Sonic Maximizer” Turn on the BBE Treble Exciter (Figure 16).

(Fig. 16)

2. After loading various effects in the preset drop-down menu (or fully adjusting the three knobs), click “Preview” in the lower right of the point exciter. Repeat the audition until the desired effect is achieved, and then determine the high-pitched excitation of the original sound. (Fig. 17 Fig. 18)
