Re: Cutting below 20Hz

Also take into account filtering can lead to phase issues or pre-ringing ( with linear phase EQ). The steeper the cut, the more artifacts you are supposed to get.

Re: Tune Drums with scales?

Word! BTW, how do you create/tune your kicks? Sample layering, raw synthesis, kick dedicated synth...? I don't really have a methodology for creation. I generally use a combination of things. Sometimes my kick might be a field recording of a chest freezer door being closed. Or a combination of synt...

Re: Tune Drums with scales?

"if it sounds good, it is good. If not, choose another kick" Well that is essentially tuning a kick without a tune knob. . Exactly. It's passive, sample surfing essentially (exactly what I expect a guy like him to do though....), just going through samples until one that "works" - ie one that is "i...

Re: Tune Drums with scales?

Tuning is absolutely not pointless, the man is a numpty. Tuning in key, yeah sure, not always worth doing unless the kick is a sustained sounding kick. I mean, for the type of crappy pop shite the freemasons make, the kick is not really that dominant, so yeah, no massive need to spend too much time...

Re: Tune Drums with scales?

I have recently watched some tutorial videos from James Wiltshire (I know, I love wasting time doing lazy stuff) and he is completely against tuning kicks. His opinion is: "if it sounds good, it is good. If not, choose another kick". Of course, at the end that means tuning using your ears anyways. ...

Re: Sonimus - StonEQ 4k

Would also like to know how it performs compared with Slate Digital ones... I did an A/B test today. The Slate EQ is modelled after the brown version I think. At first I though the Slate one sounded a bit better but if you play around with the Q of the Sonimus one a bit you can make them sound almo...

Re: Surgery & Spy - Two MaxForLive gain staging & metering t

In this pic you will see the discrepance I was talking about:

Not a big issue, I will just use the third tick from the left as the 0 VU mark.

Still, if it were possible to adjust it...

I really love this plugin, thanks again for developing it :-)

Re: Surgery & Spy - Two MaxForLive gain staging & metering t

I have tested a pure sinewave at -18 dB, and Spy VU meter needle sits barely on the third tick from the left (not from the right). Other VU meter plugin needles sit exactly at 0 VU; or +2 VU if calibrated at -20 dB instead the standard -18 dB. Not a big issue because I can just take this into accoun...

Re: Surgery & Spy - Two MaxForLive gain staging & metering t

EDIT: Is the third line starting from the right on the VU meter display supposed to be 0 VU?

If so, then the reading works quite well.

Re: Surgery & Spy - Two MaxForLive gain staging & metering t

Mmm... is it possible to increase Spy VU meter needle accuracy for the next update? Currently it doesnt correlate well with any VU meter pluging reading. I always have a VU meter plugin on the master bus pinned on screen to adjust track gains, but I would love to have individual VU meters in everytr...

Re: Surgery & Spy - Two MaxForLive gain staging & metering t

Great, thank you very much for this, I really missed integrated VU meters a bigger gain levels display between effects and racks.

This solves it completely.

Re: MODEL 1

I hate A&H mixers so I guess I would hate this unnecessary mixer also.

Most DJs are deaf SOTBs anyways.
