cclarry Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Analog Obsession released the Rare “BPB Edition” passive equalizer plugin with a new oversampling feature and macOS Big Sur compatibility. Rare is a passive equalizer plugin inspired by the classic Pultec hardware. Unlike the hardware, though, Analog Obsession’s design features an optional pre-EQ gain stage.

TracingArcs Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I believe all is ok now. I have d/loaded a number of plugins over the last 6 months with no issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I hope Tunca fixed the annoying bug he calls it a feature. In some of his plugins, adding more gain automatically reduces the output by the same amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I was clicking around on different things in the link and saw an article that caught my eye. It was a link to SOS about how hot your signal should be going in to a vintage passive EQ VST. 10,000 paragraphs later they finally tell you it's -10dB at the very end. Just thought I'd save you all the trouble of reading it in case you saw it. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that depend entirely on how the dev programmed it? i.e. I believe the analog "sweet spot" for Waves plugins in -16 or -18dB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are right. They will peak higher but I try to have all my tracks hover at -20dB rms. I started using external hardware and it's easy to get your signals too hot so I try to keep them low. I'm more than happy with the analog EQ's that came with the Fat Channel in Studio One. Plus I also have a collection by Nomad Factory but I never use it. I can't hear any difference between those and other's I've demo'd when used in a mix. Same with the various Softube compressors. I bought those too then Studio One included their versions with their Fat Channel and I can't hear any difference at all in the mix. If I A/B them and critically listen then yeah, maybe.

cclarry Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 -18 dB FS is considered the "Sweet Spot" for most Hardware and Plugins (since the Plugins emulate the hardware). Peaking can go as high as -6 dB FS, which is pretty hot, but you want RMS to stay at about -16 to -18 as you stated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Here's exactly what they said. "This table compares the distortion behaviour of popular Pultec EQ plug‑ins, based on an average input signal of -10dB, and the low shelf boost set at 5 (halfway). The higher the ranking, the more 'mojo'." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
