The king of parametric EQs The PQ Mastering Equalizer is a fully parametric, dual-channel five-band equalizer, based on SPL’s pioneering 120V rail technology. Able to switch between constant and proportional Q modes with the push of a button, this kind of circuit has not yet been achieved in any other analog equalizer. Designed for precision performance Each of the five bands of the PQ can be independently activated, deactivated, or switched between Constant Q and Proportional Q modes for even more targeted cuts and boosts. Thanks to the “1/4 Gain Switch”, you can reduce the range of the EQ from +/-20 dB down to +/-5 dB cut or boost to easily perform the small corrections common in mastering. And, with the detented potentiometers, precise settings are easy to dial in. Now improved with plugin-only features Brainworx’ familiar “Extra Unit” adds features to this legendary EQ that cannot be found on the original analog units. This retractable module includes Tolerance Modeling Technology, M/S Processing, Mono-Maker, Stereo Width, THD, Auto Listen for all five bands and more, providing everything you need in the modern digital domain. FEATURES Exacting emulation of the original analog PQ mastering equalizer, approved by SPL Fully parametric mastering grade EQ, that offers precision, flexibility and detailed musicality Independently switch between Constant Q and Proportional Q for all 5 bands for more targeted boosts and cuts BRAINWORX Plugin Only Features added to the BX Module Brainworx ́ TMT inside: Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT, US Patent No. 10,725,727) simulates channel-to- channel variances in electronic components for the most realistic analog sound in the box Auto Listen - To more accurately position the filter in the frequency domain by isolating the effect of the EQ Mono-Maker - Sums your low-frequency content to mono, giving you focused, punchy bass response Stereo Width - To expand the stereo width of your tracks Separate Mono Version - for using individual tracks such Kick Drum, Snare, Bass, Vocals, etc. Scalable User Interface Artist Presets $99 - $349 https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/spl_pq.html

Amplifikation vVv | KUASSA Intro Price - $25 https://www.kuassa.com/products/amplifikation-vvv/

MPX Native Reverb - $33.21 https://www.bestservice.com/mpx_native_reverb.html also available at Thomman for much the same price. LXP Native Reverb - $69.04 https://www.bestservice.com/lxp_native_reverb.html also available at Thomman for much the same price. Beware, I went there to get the MPX Native Bundle to try out after always hearing about the Lexicon, I went back and got the LXP Native Bundle, then I went back again and got the PCM Native Bundle. But I did leave the PCM Native Effects Bundle there, but I guess the night is young, and it could be a long one as I await the release of Kuassa's Amplifikation vVv. Strong am I?

I thought it would be out by now seeing as they are based in Indonesia, its 2.34PM on the 23rd there now, maybe they are going to go by some US time zone, in which case it could be a good few hours to go, and that will put me around the midnight hour, early morning, bummer.

TONEX Capture First Look

The warm fuzzy feeling that comes with using supported software and being up to date? Says he who doesn't allow windows 10 to updatet and is still on v1909

Same here brother.

Same day as IK's TONEX. Been a busy month, RX10 Advanced, Ozone Advanced 10, TONEX MAX, Studio One 6 Pro, Kuassa's Amplification VVV sometime today, AA's LAVA, plus the other stuff that isn't coming to mind. Great times to be alive.

Short answer is No. Long answer is No it isn't.

Well I guess that would be a personal thing in some areas, early days yet but even though to me it's easier while being similar. Sounds better, less artifacty, more natural maybe, especially with larger shifts. Perhaps not as feature rich as Melodyne Studio, but you can certainly do what needs to be done, I'm still digging around. It's a little buggy in places, but I'm sure that will be addressed fairly quickly. All in all if things keep going as they are and they fix a few niggles, I can see this most likely pushing Melodyne Studio to the side for the most part for me. Time will tell.

I know . . .

Arguably that it is, in certain functions, I own them both, but it's not on sale, and not the subject of this thread.

Dare I say it . . . I, I, i, i, in, ins, ahh fuggedaboutit

TEOTE is an automatic spectral balancer AudioUnit, AAX, and VST plugin for professional music production applications. It was designed to be a very useful tool for both mixing and mastering. It automatically performs such tasks like gentle resonances taming, de-essing, tilt equalizing, usually performed during mixing and mastering. In mixing, TEOTE sounds good on pretty much any material. While by definition TEOTE is a dynamic equalizer, its technology is solely based on multi-band dynamics processing. This allows TEOTE to have only minor phase issues, and to produce a subtle transient-emphasis effect associated with dynamics processing. TEOTE tries to make the program material follow the specified spectral profile, tuned to the contemporary mastering standards by default. It can be said that TEOTE “straightens” the frequency response, making further adjustments a lot easier; it removes a lot of repeating work. Is TEOTE an AI plugin? In a sense that AI usually boils down to a “curve-fitting task”, TEOTE is an AI plugin that performs gain adjustment decisions in a quantity equal to “SampleRate multiplied by BandCount” per second. However, TEOTE does not use neural networks; it is based on an extremely-refined, completely predictable, curve-fitting function. “TEOTE” is an acronym for “That’s Easier On The Ear”. TEOTE is a serious contender in helping bring your music production to the next level!

I don't believe they have one, but yes. At this price I"d get one for your mum as well, and one for your dad for father's Day.

Thank God, I mean Peter, now can you give us a time of day ?

Been messing around with this since late Sunday night, good stuff. With this, IK's Mic Room and Gauge's Mic Locker, I think I'm covered now.

Bargain, at that price I might buy another one. ?

Yeah I've got IK's Mic Room and think it's great. I don't get so caught up in whether or not the result actually sounds like the mic it's supposed to be, I guess it will have some likeness, but to me they are just really to add another colour, another texture that just trying to copy it with an EQ can't really do, because there is something else going on there. I find more often than not regardless of the mic you use, the result will likely be better in some way, and removing the plug will not sound as good. I use them the as much with amp sims as vocals, I stick one in between the amp sim and an IR loader, or after the cab loader, I prefer before, and the sound/tone generally becomes more focused, tighter with greater clarity. It's all just more tools, more options, more colours and textures that you other wise wouldn't have, and not so much making this mic sound like that mic, that's how I look at it any way. Same with Amp sims, they could say they modeled it on an old twin tub washing machine for all I care, as long as it sounds good, that's all that matters. I also got AA's Lava on Sunday, and you can get just as good stuff going in reverse, kind of, pick the target mic, and leave it, and then go through changing the Source Mics, there's pretty much not a bad sound/tone to be had. Love it. With IK's Mic Room, Gauge's Mic Locker, and AA's Lava, the possibilities are endless. Lava has the most options of course, but that doesn't mean it's the only one. They are all great at what they do. I don't know how long the sale for Mic Locker goes for, but it might be a good idea to grab the demo and see what you think while it's at $29, can't hurt. Although they say you should use the mic you have as the source, from what I have experienced, that's not such a hard and fast rule, because you can get awesome tones while disregarding that 'rule' altogether

Yeah, I took the LifeTime trial ? Installed, but still haven't tried it out yet, that will probably come on the weekend.
