tom Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Every week without fail, strange business model but I like Saverio. Just bought The Normalizer for peanuts and really useful plugin for getting optimum levels set across all tracks at once. Good for plugins that prefer -18dbfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of a 'magic button' type solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 just been having a play with it and it's pretty good - especially considering the price. After the initial honeymoon period I'm not sure how much use it will actually get of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I have the theory that Gullfoss adds some subtle stereo widening as part of their secret sauce. So maybe Thirty One plus widening is the way to go.

simon Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I think it's a difficult comparison to make - gullfoss seems a bit more subtle, at least at the more reasonable settings. It claims to auto eq more than 300 times per second and at a very large number of frequencies, They imply there is some kind of secret sauce to exactly how it's deciding what the ideal curve is. Gullfoss is also dynamic, in that it you can change the way it responds depending on the level of the input. It defines the two modes as "recover" and "tame". thirtyone is just a 31 band graphic eq - that can auto eq to an auto generated or user tweaked curve at a maximum of every 1/4 second. I'm not saying that thirtyone is bad - but it's not trying to do exactly the same thing as gullfoss and is seem much more basic. Still seems effective - and worth a try. Ultimately most of these kind of "auto fixing" type tools are great fun at first, but are often fixes to problems that probably shouldn't be audio in the first place. There is also a great temptation to apply these type of FX and assume it's improving the track...but different isn't always better. (just my opinion obviously) Of course playing with these plugins is much more fun that actually doing some bloomin' work Edited May 4, 2019 by simon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I found it inconsistent & buggy. At times it would over compensate adjusting bands, probably due to the algorithm it's based on. Would cause more phase problems than solved, maybe because it doesn't calculate fast enough like Gullfoss (300 times a second) You have to be careful using this kind of AI software with audio in general.

Fleer Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Gullfoss is the real thing. ‘Nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
