Set up Question

[RichBee]

Hi there,
I have a technical question and wondered if anyone could help me out.
My question basically is if I can use a some kind of VST compressor / limiter to improve the quality before sending it through edcast or whatever?
In the past I had everything ( record decks, cd players and mics) going through an outboard mixing desk which went through my soundcard into my pc and straight into edcast then out to the server.
Or is there software I can send it all to which has a compressor / limiter etc before send to edcast or equivalent?

Hope you understand my question and thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Hi Richbee,

As VST's require a DAW to be run you would need something stand alone or an encoder that has this built in. T-racks is the only standalone compressor/limiter that I can think of from the top of my head at the moment. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/

you can also use a PC with two soundcards (or possibly Virtual Audio cable, I haven't tried it that way) with Multimax, Japanese shareware (about 30€) which has been around for decades but works well..
