Okay, they say I can't use DiNR with Pro Tools LE. Any suggestions out there? Just got offered a short film job and the sound is [explitive deleted] HORRIBLE! It's about 18 db below nominal level and eq, gating, etc. just won't cut it on the sample piece they gave me. HELP!

:d: :s:

Thanks,

Uncle Bob

How would Arboretum Ray Gun work out for you? It is very easy to use and not expensive.
It has 4 sections to it .One for noise, one for pops and crackles and one section has filters, and one has eq.
It works very well for the $ and has saved me a few times.
Let us know what you chose.
Peace

Hey Ethan,

The PT Video Toolkit upgrade to PT LE 5.3.2 is $795.00 and includes DiNR and Vocalign. That is what I will be getting. I will also be getting a discount now that I have completed the PT certification course.

By the way, I'm a hardcore Mac guy. Spending hours configuring PCs that I could be spending making music and doing sound design is not my cup of tea. With my Mac I plug it in or install it and it works, no hassles, no problems. Almost every problem I have ever had was a faulty piece of gear or my own error. Every time I'veused a PC it has been a major headache. No dis on all you guys who love to dig into that kind of thing, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Peace,

Uncle Bob

Bob,

> I'm a hardcore Mac guy.

I was only kidding. Well, mostly kidding because it's true that fast PCs these days are very inexpensive.

> No dis on all you guys who love to dig into that kind of thing, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I understand fully - as hardcore as I am for PCs, I do appreciate that Macs have their place.

But the two most recent have been XP home, then XP pro, and both times I have been up and recording without a hitch within 45 minutes of installing the OS. No tweaking needed.

In short... both platforms now are as stable as each other. Both will produce the same sonic quality of music. And both are easy to operate.
It simply comes down to what we prefer, and we shouldn't have hangups about what is better, because one isn't better.

Just my 2c :p
