Almost forgot, no problem if you address different members with these posts.

 

With all due respect, you're the one in dire need of learning how to read. It was a painfully obvious sarcasm.

You're sure it's not just a sidechain/output EQ? It doesn't change the broadband signal's spectrum that noticeably. The only noticeable difference I see when comparing level-matched before and after spectrums is that Slate treble boost that turns into a high cut when you turn it off.

Yeah... the sarcasm in @towerdefense statement has not escaped me. But i do not change my statement. I'm happy to repeat it again, "the measurement is messed up".

Answer the following questions for yourself:

1. To what extent is the validity of a linear measurement in a nonlinear environment affected by nonlinearities?
2. What filter can reverse the effect of a low-pass filter?

Got it now?

 

The drive is at the minimum & the comp is not compressing anything. That's not substantially effecting the EQ analyzer.

Also, the joke is that you can't reverse the effects of a lowpass filter. Their...weird emulation implies that with tube distortion disabled, a lowpass filter occurs, & enabling the tube emulation eliminates that. I thought that was funny and referenced that in my post.
I think you're looking too much into what I said

 

No, not really. It just shows that there is no lowpass filter in the tube circuit design...

 

Or that somebody accidentally swapped a numerator and denominator somewhere and got a low pass instead of a high shelf...
Really. It looks more like a bug than a design choice.

Also I have to say that if you're really asking that question - that means sarcasm is indeed lost on you. Cause the answer is kinda the point of the joke in the first place.

 

Ah, I see. When you create single triggers (not noise but fundamental waveforms) with same peak/RMS but different pitch, the higher ones get less compressed. So there seems to be an internal sidechain tilt going on all the time. That's why I wrote by def because you can achieve a similar result by manually adjusting a sidechain this way, if the pluggie allows for, like the Voxengo compressors do.

 

An off switch?

 

Lol

Yeah... I got the "joke". Trust me.
BTW @No Avenger has understood what the question was aimed at.

 

I don't know, i'm kinda on the side of "transparent" optos like bx_opto or the unisun's opto option... The other plugins that i used (i tried a ton lot of LA2A's) didn't gave any astronishing vibe, except for CLA-3A on rock pianos, that gives a edge and a response that i like. For this whole tubey vibe, i will pick some old tube vari comp that will give distortion and (possibly) compression

 

the resources use of this is very high, even compared with Shade or other UVI plugins; and I installed the official demo of it. Abyss is probably the most resource hungry compressor I put up with (of most models), and this is quite a bit heavier than it is even. It is enough to almost question if this is some sort of programming/optimization problem.

 

Why do you keep trying to explain it as if it's a different thing then?

Try turning off "treble", maybe that will fix it : )

 

I don't remember explaining anything. I asked a question which, when answered, automatically raises a follow-up question which leads to the solution.
If no filter can undo the effect of a lowpass filter, then no lowpass filter exists in the tube circuit. The measurement does not support the statement in question and does not correlate. It is therefore messed up in this context. Completely independent of whether the statement was sarcastic or not. Simple as that.

The presence of a lowpass filter in the other circuit is completely irrelevant to my statement. No idea why you are making such a big deal out of it and arguing.

Anyway, I'm going to bow out here.

 

Some of them are on-par with Fabfilter plug-ins (Shade, Dual Delay) while others are a bit simpler and more like Waves or IK plug-ins (Thorus, Rotary). I can highly recommend to check out Shade at least. It's a superb modular filtering/EQ plug-in that can do pretty much whatever (similar to apQualizr2 and Volcano 3)!

 

This is just phenomenal.

There were no "statement in question". Do you know what "sarcasm" is? It's stating something blatantly obviously false to highlight that the opposite of what's being stated is true. Do you know what that means for your initial statement? Do you really honestly think that somebody can think tubes undo low passing? We all knew it can't, this was the point of sarcasm in the first place!
I'm in awe. Mate, your own statement doesn't make any sense. Okay bye.

There's no analog-style self-oscillation and saturation in Shade.

 

I uninstalled Opal BTW. Can't find any use for it as it is now. It's only useful for "mastering" and I can do better with Pro-C plus Saturn.

 

I like the compression behavior but hate the tube simulation.
The pattern highlighted in the frequency analysis can never exist in the analog world, it's purely digital.

In contrast to Softube's TLA-100A which looks convincingly analog.

 

Tried this aswell as different Tube settings. Doesn't matter, the reduction behaves the same.

... funnily only occurs at very low Drive settings.

 

Aha! That must be the ironic part of sarcasm that I've heard of. Are there different stylistic devices in the use of rhetorical irony?

Well, I'm not quite sure. Would you explain it to me? Please?
