Erm, October 2014, izotope ozone

I guess the "fascinating days" already last for a few years

 

I really didn't say dynamic eq was a new tech...Obviously. Like nowhere.
My post is quite explicit about being about AA, CoreX and what it can now accomplish, and translate into this upcoming product. The title, my comment, nothing suggest that dynamic eq is a new tech. It would be a very silly suggestion.

Keep cool, I just was making a joke. I was triggered by the term "fascinating days" in combination with "dynamic eq" in bold. That's all

 

I'm not like bothered or anything, . Kind of started wondering if I had spelled my post correctly.
It's actually a big deal, technically. A few months back the acoustica tech was unable to handle "simple" compression correctly. It added mojo, but well.... Now not only is the compression nicely handled, but with the dynamic eq, it pushes things even further. From the algo POV, obviously all those tasks were handled fine. But they do it the algo way. And for this other AA approach some operations are still challenging. Since the results of each approach are different, every millestone for each tech is worth noticing, imho.
Compression, eqs, nothing new here, Acustica didn't reinvent the wheel, they just explore new ways to build vintage ones.

 

Ok, maybe i got it wrong.
I always thought that Dynamic EQ was about splitting a signal into three bands, leaving the upper and lower onrd unaffected and compressing the middle band.
But I still don't really understand what you're describing. Is it like
"A dynamic EQ takes the signal and filters it with hp and lp. Depending on the level of the filtered signal it changes the gain setting on a EQ"?
So the signal does not need to be split, but only the EQ gain knob needs to be moved depending on dynamics?
I missed that, probably thinking too "analog", while automation today can make your cheap semi-automated filter/compresor.
And with a FIR filter it should work without the need to split frequencies or any phase problems.

Standing corrected

This guys voice and explanations are awesome. Does he make tutes too, or just izotope stuff?

You got it brother \m/ wen using a dynamic EQ your signal is only affected when there is gain reduction in the compressor...and not like the crossover filters used in multiband compressors that is always affecting the signal and introducing phase problems >>> i didnt understand the difference between the 2 myself wen Dynamic EQ's first hit the scene so i dug into it and with Dynamic EQ you're not as limited as with multiband comps \m/

 

Timer,
Multiband compressor divides your audio into bands and acts as compressor for bands.
Dynamic eq has curves and filters as usual equalizers (shelf, peak Bell, cut, notch etc.) and acts as equalizer with dynamic section. Equalizer always processes your audio, dynamic eq processes when threshold is achieved, then expands or compresses with your eq filter/curve type.
Dynamic eq is like a surgical spectrum dynamic processor. Multiband compressor is like a compressor for bands, two and more.

A good example of compressor, multiband compressor, equalizer, dynamic eq in one plugin is Tokyo Dawn Labs TDR Nova. This pro plugin with top mastering precision and cleanest transparent processing can do a lot of work at once, from surgical restoration to creative and as an innovation channel strip and as all-in-one mastering solution needs.

 

Your gear Jaymz?

 

He does have a yt channel, but seems to have stopped filling it in 2013. He still can be found as a guest in other videos though.

I wish ! no i dont own any Tube Tech .... most of the Gear i own i purchased years ago from a few studios that closed down where i grew up... i new the owners an worked with them some but the owner kept his Tube Tech gear for his own personal home studio... He has a CL1B and PE1A... I rented a CL1B a few years ago and i love it on vocals guitars and pretty much anything... I may buy one one day Softube version is not even close to it... you can do 10db of gain reduction on a Hardware CL1B and its clean as hell its amazing...

 

Another try of explanation for those that have difficulties with tech:
A dynamic eq does not affect the whole audio signal as a compressor does, but only the frequencies you aim for. For these frequencies, just as you would with a compressor, you define the maximum of change you want, but the eq applies only a percentage of that depending on how strong the defined frequencies really are. That makes the difference. With a normal eq you would always apply the maximum (in this example) or would need to automate it via the DAW.

 

Must be damn good if the plugin is already really good.

 

@Von_Steyr this is some the outboard i own>>>
ART VLA >>> 2 of em
Aphex Expressor
dbx 163x
dbx 160x >>>2 of em
Empirical Labs Distressor >>> 4 of em but one needs work
Focusrite Red 3
Ureii 1176 LN
Millennia Media NSEQ-2>>> this one has Telefunken Smooth Plate tubes in it >>> it needs some Work/Repair
SSL XLogic Alpha VHD Pre >>> its 4 channels
Neotek Series 1 >>> 2 of em
Neve 33122 >>> 2 of em, and they have the optional input and output transformers>>> my favorite pre's
Millennia Media TD-1
Daking 32270 H >>> 2 of them >>> these are great Pre's ;)
API 312>>> 4 of em these are great pre's AMAZING hard to come by
GML 8200 EQ >>> my most favorite peice of gear
L2 limiter
Pure 2 AD/DA converter

If you look in the old studio pics i posted in the second thread of post your studio photos you will see most of these in a Rack i built for em all after i purchased years ago.... I purchased alot of other gear like Mics and cables from them too... Ive purchased other Gear aswell over the years but nothing like this i had to get a loan to buy these pieces of kit and took long time to pay it off>>> but i got an amazing Deal on it all forsure \m/ i never use any off it unless im Recording or Mastering cause i simply cant afford too... my clients cant either cause up keep on Gear like this is alot of $$$$$$$$ hence i have to charge more haha... but if im mastering i use the GML8200 the L2 limiter and Pure 2...

 

Yes it is !

 

This is why i love AA plugins>>> its not about whats better Hardware or Algo Plugins it's just about the sound im used to hearing wen i adjust an EQ band or using a good Pre >>> i hear this wen i use Acustica Audio's plugins... its just the sound i prefer \m/

 

@Jaymz
Awesome gear and a nice studio bro. Saw your pics as well.
My kind really.

 

Thanks Alot brother ! we are old school Rockers hahahahaha... but we still dig alot of Dif genres of music new and old \m/

 

All this market hype... damn. If this so-called marvelous AA plugins are so good why can't they do EQ matching? Why? Yeah, who's the brave who can explain this to me?

PS: ok, they do non linear analog effect matching which is zillion times harder... where is the delete button... ?

 

LOL!!
