On Saturday I spent a lot of time experimenting and learning Cubase LE and Adobe Premiere Pro. With Cubase I concentrated on using the equalisers to adjust the sound of my recorded voice. I was able to get a slightly better sound but could not completely eliminate the peculiar sound of my recorded voice.
I also concentrated on audio effects in Adobe Premiere Pro. I discovered that it can normalize the gain of audio so very faint audio can be made audible by boosting the sound. That proved to be very useful because my voice recording was too low. Adobe Premiere Pro can also apply audio effects like a reverb which sounds similar to Cubase reverb. It has a plug-in directory for VST plug-ins which may offer some interesting possibilities. Theoretically I can install additional VST plug-ins such as used by software synthesizers to create a wide range of audio effects.
I also learned how to apply a video effect which appears to use Photoshop plug-ins. I may be able to install additional Photoshop plug-ins for additional video effects. I’m rather discouraged that I cannot make my voice sound decent but I am learning how to use some cool multimedia software.
