Thanks Zo.... Good stuff, Maschine is now catching up with Akai MPC re auto sampling.

Mostly A / B - ing should be done gain matched otherwise record to DAW and gain adjust on playback for comparison. I was so impressed by the Iron plugin that I did test it at the time versus the hw Iron. I thought I might as well sell the hardware... So, in my setup and test I did, I only remember thinking that there was no way I would sell the hardware (Iron) ever! I use it on my master bus. Proper HW vs plugin tests for Comps & Eq's (and saturators) are rather depending on one's personal system and configurations. Does one use WIFI - ETHERNET, what buffers sizes, Sampling rate, bit depth, converters, cables, power supplies, grounding etc... I also think that for me going out (from Daw to analog hardware) at least once is very beneficial... I do it (go out to analog) at mixing stage and then do mastering ITB @ 384kHz / 192kHz on a PC.

Btw IRON is highly recommended plugin even if it costs 200 USD...

Not problem what so ever. I have the hardware and you use +/- 2db more as a colouring / drive tool... and a s always gain stage b4 and after if needed. There's a reason for this. SPL guys truly know what (electronics - pots switches) degrades the audio path! Also the 110v rail is awesome!

Yes great plugin indeed!

It works great on Mbook M1 pro!

Absolutely it would make sense indeed. I think it would work great, maybe even beyond that, if such product was to be made by a knowledgeable developer! As Eventides Omnipressor is an excellent product I trust if they make SplitCOMP it would be awesome. Speaking of which I should send this request directly to my Eventide contact! In the meantime, using multiband limiting / compression / expansion is the 2nd best thing. DMG Limiltess + Multiplicity are imho the best - most flexible choices. Use them all the time.

Absolutely!!! Maybe this time around I should finally get it myself 🙂

The VO dialog leans very heavily to the right channel. Again, it should be at the centre 🙂

Something isn't right then, your audio definitely isn't centred and it should be... Sorry just want to help you track the problem. Use headphones not just eyes .-)

I agree with this statement I would suggest a minimum 5 sec slide (pict) or title length in a fast paced narrative. In this case probably even 7 sec (or perhaps even more, with a slow zoom in/out) would be a good compromise especially as the narrative is a talking head :-). It would engage the audience more into the story told.

I agree with @simon... definitely keep the glasses!

I'm doing it as I write this!

Hi @Reid Rosefelt sorry I missed this tread so far, did notice it, but it slipped due to the lack of time. And sorry if any of comments here are dealt with or are out of place, as I didn't have the chance to read through the whole tread (yet). I will try to help. First the video and the glasses reflection. Angling your glasses downwards a bit Positioning your soft light as high as possible and to the side (even ceiling mounting and quite close to the subject is ok) Lifting camera a bit higher and to the opposite side than light Possibly still additionally use circular polariser filters for the lens and for the lights (sometimes it helps and sometimes not - depends on the angle of lens to the glasses) I searched for you further and found this: The simple solution is to pose your subject so that the reflection from the glasses lies outside the family of angles with respect to the camera https://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/04/lighting-101-lighting-for-glasses.html Now for the sound part: No matter what acoustic place you have at hand, use hyper-cardioid or shotgun mics and then as close as you can to the subject. My preferable distance 30 -60 cm (would that be 1 to 2 feet?) Those mics are designed for dialog captures in any kind of environment, and by watching your video, my guess is - you will be fine! My suggestion is buy once cry once: Audio Technica AT 4053B If possible don't record in to the cameras mic-pre / line in. Use your best mic pre and DAW to capture the VO recordings. Use simple 'on camera' clap to sync in post audibly and visually. Camera's built in microphone as a scratch audio track only! Remember, dialog (or VO for that matter) is like a solo instrument. Spend some time and give your love to it, you'll be awarded back in multiples 🙂 And as the dialog is the most important part of any movie, doc or commercial, so it is in YT video. It must be in a centre channel. So one will need to do some post production to the project and one should be more than happy to do so, because once you put your materials to the YouTube, they are there to stay... They are your Business card - your ID 🙂 One can make shorter and faster videos but I still think if you love what you do you own it to yourself to do it ''good''. It is your product at the end and you should care otherwise you might just do something else. That is my MOTO at least. There's no shortcut to success, just a lot of hard work in the process, with uncertain outcome (smells like music business itself 🙂). Also at some point in the future, when things get going, you can consider a big TV for the screen background (82 inches and above). In that way you could always change the background picture that would be appropriate to the topic presented. You might have few reflection problems there as well, but with some care and pretty much the same principal as per above it could work extremely well and give an additional value to your production (which I think it deserves!) I'm super happy to advice you further if you need, just contact me via my web page www.finspire.art ... or send me a PM here. And btw in this video that was kindly posted here by @Zo it took 3 hours of preparation, 4-5 hours of recording session and two weeks of editing and post-production (different type of material but still - it is always worth it in the end!). Love from Finlandia!

@cclarry @Zo @Fleer any idea how would we approach in organising such a share broadcast - sub forum?

This is a really great idea and we could also offer a helping hand to everyone who has a need for video making within our community!

That's weird!

Dear Fleer! SplitEq is one of my favourite releases last year... it is simply awesome 🙂

Thank you Zo!!! I feel honoured and am very grateful for you kind words and support. It took quite some time to make 🙂

it was 75$ not so long ago... If you are into aleatoric fx it is a good library to have... Unfortunately I'm not 🙂

Cannot agree more, still have Roland Fantom 8 ( FA 08 previous generation) and Roland Integra 7. Extremely playable stuff.

yes I love it... especially the noise they create... keeps the groove going 🙂

Half true... because if your background is in synth programming and live performance (with synths and controllers), then knobs will feel more natural to use for certain automatisations... at least for me... but one can of course adjust. I love my big knobs on Hydrasynth for that!

NICE!!!
