<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So... I was playing around a bit with a few
different plugins. I tried a few reverb plugs, and also tried a few
compressors. They work well, but especially when dealing with a
compressor, is this mainly just going to have to be a thing where I let my ears
do the work instead of my brain? When I go into the list of parameters
with shift+P, I notice that most of the parameters are specified in percentage
value. So, say you're dealing with a compressor. How do you know
exactly what your attack and release are set to in terms of MS? Also, take
the ratio. Say you want a 3/1 ratio, I think it would be. (I always
get the numerator and denominator confused.) Anyway, point is, it's
reading a really weird value that I don't even know what it's basing it off
of. It doesn't look like percentages.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't wanna write a book, and like you all've
said, keep it short. Let me give one more practical example, then I'm
done. I promise. Take something like say... Auto-Tune. I know
a lot of you all hate it, but it actually *can!* when used correctly, serve a
purpose. Anyway, you have different things in here like the type of voice,
low male, tinner, etc. You can set the key the song is in, the scale
between major, chromatic, minor, etc. Though I can see these parameters
when hitting shift+P, again, they're being represented with the value as
percentage numbers, rather than the options within that parameter. So, how
do you deal with that? Like, scale, you would see a percentage number,
like 7 percent, instead of seeing major minor, chromatic etc. So
ultimately what I'm saying is, how do I know what X percentage value lines up
with Y parameter? Or, do you kind a not.</FONT></DIV>
