Audio Compressor

Just wondering which the best audio compressor is to use with Edius 5.6. A lot of times I hook into sound systems for audio and get too big a variation in volume, thus need to rubber band certain points. Please let me know what your experience has been with compressors and where I can download them.

Thanks,
Ted

Hmm I have not tested any compressors with Edius 5.6 I am still at 4.61.

Try a VST compressor, there are a few free ones out there a Google search should find them.
Or process your audio in something like Audition, Pro Tools or Soundforge, they do a really good job in the right hands.

Try this free program:

It is easy just drop the wav it and it does the rest

Try the C3 Multiband Compressor

Although it's not without fault (within Edius) I use it daily with great results.
The presets re usually enough to get by.

Kjaerhus Audio also has a pretty decent (and free) compressor that works with any VST host like Edius:

I tried the Levelator. It works great for what it is designed to do and is fast. The only drawback is that it makes everything the same volume, and so does not work for music and singing performances. I'm going to try one of the other suggested ones.

I downloaded these applications, and none of them plugged into Edius...they don't show up in the effects pallets, yet I see them in the VST folder...what am I not doing, or doing wrong...thanks

Ah..... I did not know music was involved. Levelator is good for speach.

Hi, I got the VSTs to work, was my fault.....and they are good......saves me adding nodes and adjusting audio levels all the time...great fo interviews, and speeches.......dont think I would use it for musical situations....but never know.....it may work in some cases. Any more nice ones out there?
