TB Audio Pro DSEQ 3 doesn't have a Windows Certification either... Microsoft Smartscreen hates both TB Audio Pro and Baby Audio's installation file. So ...I might have to contact them to ask them about that.. or shell out more money for a higher expensive product for my high standards on safety.

Baby Audio's installation file does not have a Microsoft certification. Microsoft gives a warning saying it doesn't recognize the file. So, Baby Audio product is off the table. On to TB Audio Pro DESQ 3.... hope it has a Microsoft certification.

So... I can't Side chain ReaFIR the way I want to do this... So, next looks like I'll see if Baby Audio can do it since it's the next least expensive option right now.

I do like the Reverb Trick for Smooth Operator (see video)

During my search... I own Sonar Producer 8.5.3, Cakewalk by Bandlab, and Reaper. Reaper has a stock plugin that does the same thing I think... called ReaFIR (see video). Although, I didn't see them use side chain feature in the video, I'm going to try this plugin first because I own it... And I'll create a video if I succeed at doing what I want it to do. Otherwise, I'll continue searching. I recommend you start at 4:00 for ReaFIR: I'm curious if it will spectral ducking like the others everyone has recommended? Like I said, I'll going to test this first because I own it. I'll keep y'all informed on results.

From PluginBoutique's website: "BABY Audio's spectral detection algorithm adapts to your audio 44,100 times per second and automatically eliminates fatigued frequencies. " Does that mean it only works in 44.1khz?? Cause I use 96khz for all my recordings. From Smooth Operator website: "Use Smooth Operator as an intelligent ducker: If you engage “Side Chain” mode, you can duck your signal with the frequency content of another track in your mix. (Example: Ducking your bass with your kick as the side chain input). This feature is like a normal sidechain ducker – except it doesn’t just duck the volume of a track, instead it ducks exactly the frequency areas occupied by the sidechain track – in realtime. This helps you achieve mixes with less frequency clash between different elements." It maybe might be what I want for the sale price, but with a limit of 44.1khz, may not be worth it!

Other than GAS buying, I've tried this plugin several times in different instruments and vocals. I couldn't never find it useful or understood why or how to really use it? I played with all the features / knobs, and it was like a distortion plugin. So... well .... I never used it in a song and I've had this plugin for a long time.

Yes, real-time corrections. It does seem that these special plugins want more money for this Task. I've been told DSEG 3 by more than two people, so I want to see someone else do what I'm saying before I actually try it :P... I really hate installing stuff I don't have a 90% sure I'm going to buy. I thought "Mastering the mix" FUSER was going to be worth it, finding out it crashes my Reaper really killed me buying it. Although, Cakewalk I didn't try. I use both Cakewalk and Reaper for different tasks.

DSEQ had been recommended several times, so it's on my check list for sure. I'll be home tomorrow to check it out. I'm just trying to gather 2 or 3 plugins to try out before buying.

Actually, I thought that as a after thought. I wouldn't been buying it for the harshness removal. Read on.. I want to do the trick mentioned in the video I first posted. The trick is using vocal spectrum for ducking instead of using a dynamic EQ bell curve. Can another plugin do that?

Have you seen the video I first posted? Can you see if DSEQ can do that? I'm trying to duck only the frequencies used for the Vocal thru the music and I do not want to use a bell curve EQ to do it.

It says it has A.I. functions. Does it require to be online to use this plugin?

Any idea when that may happen again? The sale

Could you do the same thing with Smooth Operator from that video as Soothe 2? (I think Smooth Operator is on sale right now for $39 when I looked yesterday)

Waves still works with computers made 10 years ago and I'm happy about that I can't verify cclarry statement because it requires I login for prices!

Thanks for clarifying, I'll update my request.

Not if you currently hold a fully functional demo that doesn't stop working and never bugs you to buy it. I have it and hardly ever use it.. The last time I used it was 3 months ago.

Even though that's a great M.2 drive, I'm actually looking for SSD sized drive. I think people get M.2 and SSD mixed up.

In the videos for TrackSpacer, I see the vocal lines in blue on top, but the white line below that "carves out space" is a curved line that seems to represent a broad range of frequencies like a dynamic EQ, instead of "carving the jagged lines of the vocal", it's just cutting a half circle... that's what I'm seeing in the videos. It's G.U.I. says one thing and people say the other.

I'm curious on how well it works vs how much CPU it uses. iZotope tends to use a ton of CPU vs other plugins that do what it does. P.S. I gave an example. I know we are talking about TB ProAudio.

That looks promising, because the videos show it actually reducing the frequencies instead of broadly covers all bands within those frequencies. I'll have to test it out.

I saw videos of trackspacer, but it's like a dynamic EQ rather than a surgical way to carve out frequencies based on what I saw. Soothe 2 looks like it's surgical on carving out specific bands of frequencies used for the voice instead of grabbing a broaden range of bands like most dynamic EQs.

So, have you known it to go on any great sells prices for this time of year or near Christmas?

Scaler 2 upgrade perhaps, but the full version still always sits 2x too much for me.

Hi! I've actually reached a point where I'm happy with the plugins I have. I'm now in the stage of acquiring new sounds and that's going to require I also get a bigger storage device. Please keep an eye out on sells for the end of this year on large SSD (external and internal). Much Thanks!
