If you really need the best anti masking abilities, get FUSER by Mastering the Mix. Even though he's the rudest developer in emails for getting new features added by request, he's got the best plugin for anti masking. He hasn't updated any of his plugin for six months.. So I guess it's stable. I have had the trial crash on me, but he fixed it within a couple of weeks and then I bought it. It's never crashed on me since then. So, he will fix bugs.

I have both Smart EQ 3 and 4. Smart EQ 3 is much more stable than Smart EQ 4. I've had Smart EQ 4 crash my DAW several times, but I've never had Smart EQ 3 crash. I reported this to Sonible, but I don't think they did anything about it. I love how Smart EQ can put one track more priority over the other tracks, then the track below it has more priority over the tracks under neath it. Priority meaning that the masking puts the frequencies of the top track more visible than the tracks below it, and then middle track more visible than the bottom track. I hope you understand that? Despite Smart EQ 4 crashing, I still use it because it has so much more flexibility than Smart EQ 3. It mostly crashes when you mess with the settings like extending the listening length. So, I don't touch the 6 seconds listening length, and it tends to be more stable. Scaler EQ sounds neat, but I'm not completely sold on it.

So, they buy used stuff to resell?

I think this deals forum has become more than just a deals forum, yet I think Wookiee might disagree? I think, Wookiee (or someone else), keeps smashing some of our fun topics that take off down the rabbit hole, cause lots of those "rabbit hole" topics just disappear into thin air! .... Hint hint wink wink. Kind of wish whom ever is doing that could just move the topic into a sub topic for this deals forum called "down the rabbit hole". ?

I was thinking of buying the Zoom H1n. Is on sale for $59.99 on that website. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1381744-REG/zoom_zh1n_h1n_handy_recorder.html A lot of times, I see deals that go deeper discounted than this making me wonder each time. So, I finally asked y'all. I'm thinking of trying out... Going outside to record stuff, then create sounds from it and put stuff into a kontakt library. .... Either that or create my own VST3 plugins, which is a headache to create. I have created a few for myself. It's a pain, but doable.

Snap. Thought he said the company turned 50...?

I have been seeing deals so good there's it's almost in the scam territory. Has anyone had experience with this website?

What's weird, I own all three of the 2.4+ bundle, and they still sent me this email about 50% off and 6 month trail??? Is there a 3.0 version they are pushing now?

Do you think they'll bring back $199 everything bundle end of summer sale?

I still own and occasionally use Sonar Producer 8.5.3 because the output of the music sounds better than any DAW I've used. I'm not sure how it dithers the music and creates a final copy, but it just sounds so much more professional that I usually create with the latest DAWs.

My GAS would be if they had a huge sell on SHADE.

I guess no love for me... LoL. No email.

That reminds me.. I still need to test this against melodyne studio.

What is or who is PA?

Reaper seems to care.

I love Expanse 3d, Nanopulse, Cryostatis, Transmutator, and Hyperspace plugins from JMGSound except mirror. Mirror is a total waste of money. It's much better to do it manually rather than having this plugin try to do this for you. Just by 2 cents.

Tom Frampton isn't very welcoming of feature requests. He hasn't updated this plugins in over 6 months. In RESO, I wanted a feature called "Calculate More Targets", but he told me I could add more targets with double clicking. I had to further explain, if I go to another part of the song and wish it to add more targets from a different part of the song with the current targets he completely ignores the suggestion altogether and goes straight to the next question: Is there a way to currently copy current targets and paste it into another RESO plugin? I was hoping to run a second instance of it, have that second instance listen to the other part, copy the targets from it and paste it into the one that I want more targets... His answer? "Yes, you can duplicate the plugin instance within your DAW. There is usually a key command of how to do this (which you can find for your DAW with a quick google search). You might like to use different instances of RESO for different sections of your mix, and automate them on and off." So, getting him to make any updates or changes to the software is not even possible. He finds a work around for you to use instead of saying of he will add it or not. although the work around for automation sounds pretty neat, it would have been nicer if he could add my feature Request. ?

I'm still waiting on that deal for the H3000 err something like that.

I'd love to see a scheme similar to Reaper. I don't mind to pay for the next whole version for Reaper. I started at version 6.99 and when Reaper gets to 7.99, I don't get no more upgrades unless I pay for it again. But then again, I don't create any commerical music. I just make music for non-commercial use, like showing off my music on YouTube without monetization. I forgo any monetization on YouTube. My music is free to listen to. A lot of content I create goes to creative commons. So .. Hopefully, there's a version for that?

Would love to see the mathematical difference.

Cclarry you own the website with Hornet Plugins?

Here's how compression works in a plugin: Threshold: You set a threshold level. Any audio signal above this level will be compressed (reduced in volume), while signals below it remain unaffected. Ratio: The ratio determines how much the signal is reduced. For example, a 4:1 ratio means that for every 4 dB above the threshold, the output will only increase by 1 dB. Attack and Release: These settings control how quickly the compressor responds to changes in the audio signal. Attack is the time it takes for the compressor to start reducing the gain after the signal exceeds the threshold. Release is the time it takes for the compressor to stop reducing the gain after the signal falls below the threshold. Make-up Gain: After compression, the overall signal might be quieter. Make-up gain is used to bring the compressed signal back up to a desired level. Overall it's the manipulation of the volume of the signal... So you CAN do this with envelopes. You've seen Vocal Rider for Waves Audio... It's basically doing compression. You can do this to using envelopes or a midi with a knob.

Compression involves dynamically increasing or decreasing the volume of an audio signal within each sample and this can be done using envelopes. Now, if someone doesn't want to do that and let a plugin do it for them.... Well that's another story.

For "ducking vocals or instruments" I use FUSER by Mastering the Mix. It can transparently blend two tracks together using side chain AND it can auto detect the correct phase too! It's the only plugin I've found that can do this without you noticing that your "ducking" it, because FUSER does it on a frequency spectrum level. You should try out a demo for yourself I bought the FUSER and RESO combo when they was both on sale.

Don't get me wrong, I do love Smart: Limiter and Smart:EQ 3, but Smart Comp 2 falls short of happy. Smart Comp 2 is just too transparent for my tastes. If I want that kind of compression, I could just use Smart Limiter and be done OR better yet, use volume envelopes in any DAW. I was really hoping for some magic with Smart Comp 2, but it didn't produce any magic on any of my songs and tracks. I tried various ones I was already using compression and replaced those with Smart Comp 2. No magic. Oh well. If you buy anything... Smart Limiter and Smart EQ 3 I highly recommend. (Smart EQ 4 is still buggy and will crash your PC if your PC is outdated like mine from Intel generation 6). They won't fix the issue because of how outdated my system is. I've already contacted them about it.
