Is there a good forum for audio mixers using sound track pro?
I'm sound designing a short film and I was wondering if there was a good website with a big user base? I have some general questions about how to achieve certain effects in Sound Track Pro, such as how to mimic a loud speaker.

Don't know about the web site question.
What exactly do you mean by "mimic a loud speaker?"

Re: Is there a good forum for audio mixers using sound track pro?
I have some clean audio recorded in a studio. The scene I want to add it to is an outside scene where someone is talking on a loudspeaker. I was wondering what I can do to mimic the effect of coming from that source.

Depending upon what kind of speaker you're trying to emulate, try limiting the EQ to the frequencies reproduced by whatever that speaker is (this will likely take guesswork). Completely cut the freqs that aren't helpful, and try boosting/cutting the rest that is there, too.
Some sort of ambience would also help, so some reverb and a touch of delay would add to the illusion.
Trial and error, man. Trial and error. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I'm all about trial an error, I just didn't even have a place to start. I have some ambient tone, is that what you mean by ambiance?

That will definitely not hurt. But what I meant was to get the audio in the track itself sounding as close to "outdoors" as possible. You should be able to get at least part-way there via the EQ, reverb and delay. Then laying it atop the ambient sound will more or less complete the job.

Another thing that's killer is, and I don't know what kind of options you have in Sound Track Pro, but if you know somebody who has Audio Ease Speakerphone, all they have to do is import your clean audio, run it through that plugin on a specific loudspeaker setting and send it back to you, and then you will be either done or at least 85% there.
If you look around the table and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.
