R&B/HIP HOP PLUG IN PRESETS!!!!

i've been reading a lot of threads today and have seen a lot of talk about presets and suggestions for eq and compressor settings on vocals and drums. I think it would be a good idea to start a thread where we all contribute actual plug in presets. i know we've all created our own presets that serve as a starting point in our mixes, let's post them up here and see how it turns out! I'm not sure if protools preset files are a valid uploadable file extension, but i think this may serve usual for both experienced and unexperienced producers and engineers....

I agree... ... I have a feeling Nuendo Users will be screwed tho (unless someone knows a way how to import PT (presets)... hoefully, I've overlooked something...

let's see where (if anywhere) it goes.

The only presets I've created are to 'zero' the plugins.

Dumb question, I'm sure, but what do you mean by this?

the reset button on the plug-in interface. also known as "no tweak", "nothing", "zip, zilch", "start from scratch", "not a damn thing", etc....

bit of sarcasm, not laid particularly thick.

I think the only usefull plugin presets would be more "production" type settings...
EQ / compression settings are so dependant on source material.

say "radio voice" or "BT bit crusher" or somthing like that.

But you mention EQ and compression and I think those are ones you just need to learn by experience honestly...

No need for "zero" here I usually just bypass the plugin to hear the difference.


Here's my contribution
for a lo-fi adlib vocal use: AMPLITUBE LE (dly rythm) preset...
adds "punch" to an adlib track or a cool lofi vocal sound...

they are TOTALLY dependent on source material....a comp setting for MC X's vocal would in most cases be utterly useless on MC Y's vocal.

Drum Combi

Create a combinator
inside place in the following order:
1. Mixer
2. Redrum
3. Redrum
4. Redrum
5. Redrum
8. R7000 reverb (it'll connect to the last Redrum) - select the DRM AMS preset (ex: PrcPlate) and adjust to taste

- what i do is for the first Redrum entry on all four i put in a kick drum, when you hit the corresponding note all 4 will be triggered at once as one big layered kick. 2nd entry contains snares/claps. 3rd has hihats. 4th and up have misc. hits/stabs/percussion. the last reverbed one just gives a lil space if your big drum sound is too dry.

The same idea as zeroing the board... a clean slate in which to start. Save the settings and assign as user default (in PT at least).

Sounds interesting. Is there a way to make one of the Redrums trigger sounds from the other three?
