In this video I'm going to show you how to build your own target
trace in SATlive and at the end of the video I'm going to tell you where you
can get a copy of all of my target traces so that you can use them for
yourself or steal my ideas, whatever you want to do. In Windows you're going to
open up the target trace builder, which is this little app that comes with SATlive
and it just runs independently of it so you don't need to have satellite
running you can just open it up I'll tell you guys the first time I tried to
find this it didn't load when I first opened up target trace builder so what I
ended up needing to do was type in TTP so if you try to load target trace
builder and it doesn't load try TTB instead so then that loads this little
app and here we can just draw in the picture that we want so let's draw in
the same picture that I've talked about in the last video when we were working
with smart so I want my boo stand alone to start at
about 160 and I wanted to get up to 10 DB by the time we get to 100 Hertz and
then I wanted to basically stay there until the end of time and then in the
high end I want my attenuation of the high end to start at about 8 K and I
want to get there by about 10 or 12 K so let's get down to maybe 2 maybe 4 dB at
let's say 12 K all right that looks pretty good to me so that's pretty
simple you can get more creative here if you want there's a bunch of settings up
here if you need more range if you want to do like it 50,000 million DB low-end
boost or whatever and you can change the resolution if you want to get really
specific there then all I need to do is hit save oh it already had my old one
open so I have this one called concert target and I guess it just loaded that
as soon as I loaded this now if I wanted to change the name of a click save as I
have a folder of target traces here so I already have one called concert target
but if this were a different trace I would call it something else
so let's actually make a slightly different trace I'll have something
different to save and show you so let's do my corporate events target trace so
that's going to be something more like a maybe 5 or 6 DB boost in the low end
and that's going to be I think a little bit lower down
and I don't want to kill some the high-end above a que
so a little bit more gentle roll-off here above say 7k just to not kill
people with siblings okay so just getting up to minus two so
everything just a little bit scaled back for my corporate events now I can save
this corporate target save and now I can just close this
now I can open ups at live and if I hit shift X that opens up this dialog and if
I don't want to do that I can click over here and a target trace load that target
trace so let's load my concert target and I just need to make sure that this
little box is checked otherwise it's going to show me the X curve and now
when I hit the X key it'll show my target trace all right so then it's as
easy as that and if I want to show a different one I would go up here load
corporate open close if yours doesn't show up like this and you wanted to make
it look more like mine then go to setup display and then I think Sat live
usually loads automatically with preset one so I switched to preset two to have
a dark background scroll down under color to target trace click on that
click white if you want it to be like mine and then make sure to choose choose
preset to use from preset 1 to preset 2 and click Save
all right now when you press the X key it should bring up a white trace here
and if you want to make that even more thick I can do that okay or even more
thin it's as simple as that that's how you create a target trace INSAT live now
if you want to get a copy of all of my target traces I have three that I bring
with me to all of the work that I do I have a general one for concert corporate
and I have one that I use when I was working on the circus to earth of the
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus and they're all similar they just
have different levels of boost in the low end and attenuation or boost in the
high end so I'll put a link to those below this video and I would love to see
your target trace so why don't you comment below this video and either send
me a link to your target trace show me a picture or just describe you know the
details of where it's at and tell me why it works for you why did you discover
that this cut here and this boost here work well for you as a target trace
maybe for the client that you have or the kind of work that you do all right
thanks
