This is close to 'Best Answer'.

 

I'am sorry, but I want to protest against this decision.

You can not revert a subjective decision. If he feels nasty about it he can, even without a rational explanation. You may can give him a warning for not sticking to the rules but I do not believe that the revertion of a subjective meaning is necessary or helpful.

 

Post the results. I think you are a phony mixing engineer who does nothing professionally.

 

Close only counts when discussing horseshoes, curling, bocce...and shark attacks.

 

Sorry, I explained what is nasty vote for, read again, and read No Avenger's comment and you'll see that there is nothing nasty...
If there were a minimum doubt about this comment being nasty, I would not revert the rating.

About warning him, I decided not to do this, because he have already 4 warning points, if I send him a warning, he will have more than 5 warning point and thus will be automatically banned, and I dont want him to be banned for a wrong rating.

 

I do get the point that there is in fact nothing nasty about it. But there also is a fact that he basically said "In my opinion this is nasty" and to prohibit this not really destructive opinion is unfortunately censoring and far away from being tolerant.

Greedy bitch.

 

@Juan Carlos And why do think my post https://audiosex.pro/threads/analog-obsession-oaq-v2-1.50834/reply?quote=434490 is nasty?

 

your post is nasty to me cause you are putting down a plugin without the proof of your "testing"
i don't know you, what you've achieved or look at your posts to get an idea of your "expertise". i shouldn't have to, no one should have to lol!

so the rules are rate nasty only if it's nasty.. i get it

 

lol

 

You are right, we are not tolerant about deliberate misuse of rating.
It's explained in the forum's rules, which defines the way things work here's no one is obliged to agree, but to participate here the rules must be respected.

 

Are you 12 or something.do you have a hard time accepting that people sometimes don't agree with other people.regardless of the semantics of when some stupid post emblem should be used (that sounds totalitarian to me.i will express myself however the fuck i damn please)i can see some validity as to why people are not willing to take you at face value.Tuncas plugins are weird yes,but he has a lot of diamonds amongst the rough(take the latest of Kolin for example and the SSQ) and although he's not the most rational of people and is blatantly lying about a "50 person beta team"(unless every last one of them are deaf)his plugins are increasing in quality, albeit at a snails pace.its as simple as providing WAV's for a blindtest with the stock EQ you claimed to be able to match it with ,or if you want to provide unequivocal proof then a null test will dispel any doubts.when you say you can match it with a stock EQ what exactly do you mean though.a lot of analog EQ's curves are usually a combination of multiple filter bands on a digital minimum phase equivalent to get that and then null it with OAQ(which i doubt)then you might be right,or perhaps the schematic doesn't really call for any sophistication in the passive elements of the circuit.take the Massive Passive for example.to match it's shelves in phase and magnitude you need to use a couple of bell/peak filters.some people may find that inconvenient so tend to gravitate to analog "modelled"or inspired plugins.as to your claims that the saturation is barely audible,contrary to what you know from plugins,analog EQ's saturation is just that,it's saturation,not distortion.line amps or active stages in EQ's for instance tend not to give off any distortion at all unless its a preamp or a specialist piece of kit (i can't think of any EQ's that intentionally distort).when you get to mastering grade stuff like the Sontec its virtually inaudible.i don't know what OAQ is based off of it says its a "corrective EQ"the lack of drive regardless of the drive screw is probably a design decision and not indicative of his modelling(which are just direct conversions of SPICE models into code) or that it is "snake oil"the recent model of the Softube Curvebender cannot even be driven and the harmonics that are evident are virtually inaudible and i could probably match the curves in something like EQuilibrium,does that make that snake oil too..where do you draw the line

This is the issue with forums.they all eventually end up being circlejerks with certain muppets at the head of the circle, developing undeserved egos about their "status" on an online community (read that back to yourself and realise how sad that is)

 

Pfffuhhh...That sounds a bit like a dictatorship...

Yes he could vote as "nasty" (even if it's not my thoughts about this post).You can't discredit a developer without posting any evidence.

 

I totally agree with this statement.
Soon some people will ask you why you rated "like" to their post too.
WTF??If somebody dislikes or disagree with any post,he doesn't have to justify his decision.Is it a new rule??!Why?Because these people don't want any negative rating on their profile?Childish,narcissic.

 

You're saying something - anyone is entitled to their opinions - and then the opposite : to express an opinion you have to follow a specific guideline if it's regarding a precious dev feelings (bouhou, someone said your plugins are crap, which they are btw, I won't proove it I just assertain my opinion, there).
Cause like every developpers have to prove their crap ain't useless ? And they do ? Like AO actually posts proof of the magic of his plugs, like some good devs who can back their claims do ?
I don't think so. Even if they did since there is subjectivity in audio, it wouldn't keep anyone from rightfully bashing them if they feel the plug doesn't deliver.
That's just the ways of the world, that and undeserved negative ratings. You should all grow up.

 

the results?

 

Agree. This is not the first time that I see this attitude from the mod, narcissist. Second I agree with the others that i would like to hear the audios or watch a video at least , I don’t care if the review come from the “multi platinum Grammy winner mixing Engineer” or something like that, it’s easy to throw rocks but at least show some proofs why.

 

I took off the nasty rating, and I'm speaking with him about that.

 

From the rules:

 

narcissist ? Really ? This deserve a nasty rating
