Finally we all can explore what the "wonder of FiDef ✨" does.

It basically is some wobbling and wavering around in the frequency spectrum in all kind of strange behavior.
I've seen something similar in the latest "need" (neve) stuff.
But in addition, the Resno and Evose configuration adds some more noise.
My favourite configuration is the "TRUKN HUSH". It does the very least.

Let us share our magic experience with it.

 

Wow your post is visibly so clear. Stunning - I've never seem anything like it.
Does this mean the AudioSex forum has finally implemented the new FukDaf subliminal visual noise generator?
All that invisible noise in the sub infra red range has made your text so clear I could read it without wearing my glasses.
This is truly revolutionary. Will we now have to pay a subscription?

 

I wonder if this already is the best response.

Btw. I've read that it only works in combination with music.
So it doesn't work with a single kick sample.
It only works if you combine a kick AND a snare in a rythmic combination.
Or do you need a crash as well? Who knows?

That's incredible.

Only moderately entertaining - but watch at about 14 mins in to see a very brief overview of sub-audible supplementation.
Gives a very quick idea of what's going on. Seems to be a bit like "take the background hiss and junk we all liked to get rid of and put it back in - but now that junk is dynamically linked to the music"

 

Do you think as well that the consumers who are not able to hear all that interesting stuff are getting robbed of some life quality?
I urgently feel the need to provide some magic dust for all my customers.
To bring some magic and life in their...life.

 

Finally! A Turbo Encabulator for the music industry! Yes - post your results!
Emperor's New Clothes ... eh, erm ... song!

 

I think playing music with this process to people without consent, and possibly the signing of a waiver, could be actionable. Proceed with caution.

 

I stay with my verdict: Tischmeyer is a con-artist.

 

Or simply a charlatan.

 

If it actually did anything do you think that thief would only charge €150 for it? It'd be €1000, 500 for being at the forefront of new technology, 500 for working.

 

Can't beat the classics!

But seriously, I never gotten along with psychoacoustic processors, either the difference is miniscule and you get better results by paying more attention to your own mixing or it does a number on the signal and it's basically an effect then.

The only one I really use is the BBE bass one though, so maybe I just don't get them and can't really use 'em.

 

I read that today, but I am very skeptical:

Invoke audience ardor.
FiDef® by FideliQuest is a very low amplitude, psychoacoustic stimulus designed specifically for audio engineers. It makes a receptive brain relax and pay closer attention to an incoming audio stimulus. In brain physiology laboratory tests using functional neuroimaging techniques, FiDef has proven to excite brain activity related to perception and attention, and to enhance the subjective processes of listening and engagement.

Available for all major plug-in formats, including VST 2, VST 3 and AAX native for macOS and Windows plus Audio Units for macOS, FiDef is a patented, 64 bit audio processor like no other. Brain science takes the lead in this subconscious signal generator that compels the listening to lean in and…engage!

The Quest
Since Edison’s first wax cylinders, the history of audio capture and playback can be summarized as the increasingly technical pursuit of a seemingly impossible goal: lifelike replication of the actual listening experience…The advent of digital technology, while solving many of the problems inherent in analog recording and playback, brought with it other challenges. At the same time, new enabling formats such as DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) and MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), along with consumer trends toward uncompressed HRA or High Resolution Audio releases of music catalogs have brought new levels of fidelity to the home. Yet, even the highest fidelity digital playback still exhibits a level of reserve that keeps the music at arm’s length, not always allowing it to embrace and move us. Low fidelity or hi–fi, analog or digital, FiDef makes for a deeper, more satisfying connection.


The Solution
While listening to a vaiety of recordings, an audio professional thought to himself, “Why do some recordings sound better than others?” He recruited an audio physicist and a musical neuroscientist while analyzing arrays of audio recordings to identify elements of sound that psychoacoustically engage the listener. Isolating the mechanism allowed them to develop a unique solution that synthesizes essential content from the material itself, inserting that dynamic information at low amplitude into the content. After years of development by a team of engineers with decades of industry experience, early in 2016 FideliQuest introduced FiDef™ audio processing, the first and only technology that restores what all recording and playback systems take away, whether analog or digital.

Think of a common, non–harmonic, sub–audible signal all good engineers use to linearize digital audio; dither. The FiDef system also generates an anharmonic, sub–audible broadband signal. The difference is that FiDef does not modify the music itself in any way but instead is added to the music. Also unlike dither, it is correlated to the source audio. This is not noise for noise’s sake. This is a dynamic, correlated and spectrally shaped signal. The signal, based on FideliQuest research into the human auditory system, is customized to directly stimulate the brain, bypassing cognitive processing. The manifold results include less brain activity required to process incoming stimuli, with a resulting increase in perceived nuance and tactility from music, speech and effects. FiDef informs your brain of the subtle potentials within a recording. Hear more of how the song was played, not recorded.

Quite a lot of the music made before this was invented sounds pretty good, so, you know...

 

It's already taken me to the next level. I'll update once I've composed the second bar.

I believe I hear a positive change, some sounds moving around. Tomorrow I'll be recording a hot Chimp in Dubai, so tonight I've got buy this plugin.

It plays a subtle (or not so subtle) noise that follow your audio track shape. I don't know if it's worth it to the end-consumer.

 

I think you could get an equivalent placebo effect from listeners just by *telling* them (very seriously) that you used this. Far less effort, same result.

 

Straight from the manual:
