When I was learning audio in the mid-nineties, all the engineers around me would constantly A/B whatever processor they were using. I remember it clearly. Make a change; bypass, engage, bypass, engage. Make a change; out, in, out, in. It was engrained in their muscle memory and the way they did it felt almost choreographed. If I picked up a single good habbit from them it was to use the bypass switch judiciously.

I agree with a statement you made that there are good reasons for yellow squiggly lines. I actually prefer GUIs like Fabfilter's (for example) over hardware style knobs. There's a lot of information in those lines that makes workflow easier. Yes, you should tweak with your ears, but visual aids allow you to do it much faster - and time is money. JMHO.

If they really want people to use their ears instead of their eyes, they should get rid of the frequency markings. Just have the four knobs that say LF, LMF, HMF, and HF, but no frequency indicators. I know it's modeled on an SSL, but that doesn't mean it has to look exactly like an SSL.

It's a good PSA, yeah sure, be aware the mcgurk affect is a thing, but It's still exactly the same marketing idea as the (free) blindfold eq. Sure the auto gain is nice but other great blind eqs like the Tokyo Dawn Slick also have it (also free). I don't see why we need another, there's so many good free and paid blind eq choices now.

I'd appreciate a deeper musical perspective on the plugins you're evaluating. I understand that comparing equalizers, in this case, is definitely not straightforward. However, I'm interested in an EQ with 3 or 5 harmonically overlapping bands, capable of compressing these bands, introducing tube saturation, applying limiters to these bands, and offering overall oversampling. The aim is to attain a gritty dirty EQ.

I've had this plugin for a while now and is one of my go to EQ's purely for its simplicity... ease of use and autogain. Mainly use it for mids/highs and the low/high pass filters. I actually use it more than any of SSL's plugins or the like. Good plugin in my opinion cause it gets the job done quickly and effectively. Though I would not recommend it to finish a session.

@@janriepshoff5237 Hi. Not sure what claim you would be referring to from their website but my comment was in no way referring to any references at all. As I mentioned... It's a good plugin/tool to get certain tasks accomplished on certain tracks if needed. It's subjective I guess. There are a ton of plugins one could use but I choose Purafied for some tasks. As for using it on final mixes... and I would assume you're referring to a master bus... I guess there's nothing stopping anyone from using it on a final mix if that's what floats their boat. Though keep in mind it's not going to make a final mix sound better or worse. It's just a tool/filter emulation of the eq section of a well known channel strip. I typically run a final mix through a hybrid setup. Channel strips were never really intended for final mixes but never say never hey! But a good sounding final mix begins from the songs foundation. EQ's... Plugins etc don't make a song sound good or better. They are just tools. And sound becomes subjective. If it's good enough for your ear then it's good enough.

Yeah that is why I'm buying this plugin. The high and low pass frequencies are the resonant so you get a little bump at the passing freq. For example if you set your high pass to 150Hz on the snare track, you will get a slight boost at that freq. Two birds with one stone.

it is actually interesting why so many developpers keep coming back to this ssl form. I like what you said about ab testing, the autogain is interesting too. The whole story of visual not visual... our ears compensate just like eyes (the iris) so probably a visual feedback is always good. Personally what always works in in logic is match eq, you just let match eq listen to whatever sound then you have print of the sound and you 'reverse' it usually always gives a good result. But I never heard anyone talk about it...

Gotta use your eyes sometimes. Like when you're dealing with frequencies that are inaudible, fixing phasing issues, or notching out a very fine band of ugly noise/mud, etc. I do always agree with the sentiment that you should work with your ears, but I feel like people always seem to talk about this in a very black & white way. Could create a false dichotomy in the minds of newer engineers. I guess "trust your ears, but then also use your eyes for a lot of stuff" doesn't really roll off the tongue the same way lol
@Lolwutdesu9000
Жыл бұрын
Nobody who says "trust your ears" also tries to suggest that using your eyes is useless and for beginners. The whole point of that statement is to remind people that, ultimately, it's what you hear that counts, especially beginners who solely use eq curves to judge their eqing. Anyone with enough common sense will know that sometimes you need some visual feedback to work on less audible issues.

I don't like the idea of doing the bypass-a/b thing. When I mix or sound design, I have an idea of the sound I want in my head, so I am comparing my previous setting and the new setting to that. I can't see, logically, how distancing myself from that idea in my head by adding another variable like the dry signal is going to help.
