Wow, again, I do not understand why you are writing something like this... Knock it? Who did it? When? Where? To be honest feel very sorry seeing when somebody is trying to put into my (?) mouth things I have never said Wasn't comparing product tech. Wasn't comparing companies. I was comparing really something else... Just idea to hire top mixer and let him design dream EQ taking what's the best from different hardware their like. That's it. I really do not see anything offensive to AA in statement Waves did it before. It doesn't mean in the same way, or anything more than just that. I like plugins both from Waves and AA (and many other companies too) and understand a little (at least I hope, considering my background) technical difference in their approach about implementation their projects. I like your music very much and respect your skills (both musician and mixer/producer) but please do not say doing anything I never intended to . It is not fair. I published here even link with nice review. How would it be knocking? ? Anyway, to close this unexpected for me thread I cannot say more than written (my broken English can be a little obstacle in getting my points) so I do not authorize any interpretation of my thoughts without my personal approval I would like to count on you about AA without scaring to ask or say anything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Forget about it, it's not important. Dave said there was something new he doesn't think anyone has done yet. My first post & 'check the 50-80hz' comment was to reference his statement. I think that's what he was talking about, not eq flavours mixed in a box like Waves has already done. If one tries the plugin they might hear what it does or what's different about it. Edited November 29, 2019 by Hidden Symmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Gearslutz forum they are very out spoken and kind, so I don't think you will have an issue (although late response since it's weekend? Idk. I hope you demo (download trials) the plugins you want before buying, I know I am doing that and even though Pensado's eq is nice, very nice maybe in some sources, it didn't make me jump in joy. Ruby I feel it's an instrument EQ, not a Vocals EQ. I tried it specially on drums and it makes them sound so silky (specially hi hats, it makes them stand out but in a certain silky frequency instead of high or very high where it's kinda prominent way). I took out all my EQ's, even AA's, trying to achieve that silky sound... NO AVAIL! I did this for more than an hour, trying to save more than 100 euros... lol. But I am so spent mate, I even bought earlier Nebula for like 100 bucks (last sale), and that was stretching my wall.e.t aka credit card, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, still deciding whether I get the Pensado EQ, it's so 3d too, I tried it vs a passive EQ, which sounds nice, but it's like the Pensado's doesn't fill between frequences so it's more "transparent" and a touch of silkyness (just a tad bit) (testing on vocals mainly). Grrr, so hard to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden Symmetry Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I found some info on what's going on with this plugin. Someone asked over at G.S.- 'So basically you took the idea from Waves manny maroquin eq and translated it to dynamic impulse responses instead of a waves stock eq.' Giancarlo (owner) answered- "The concept is similar, but Dave has gone further. 1) Every single frequency is executed by the hardware, software, or combined machine that Dave would have used for that purpose: so let's no longer talk about a whole band 2) the final result had to be harmonic with the other frequencies, so we calibrated the gain (also intermediate) or the roll-off, or the characteristics of proportional Q Let's take an example: Dave likes the M equalizer to play 2.5kHz, we tried it. But sometimes he prefers C for the same purpose, so we tried it. After many attempts, we found that M was fine, but part of the curve was unpredictable and annoying because C did it better. So we edited M making it a little closer to C. Then we found out that M was introducing a low-frequency roll-off and we edited it. At this point, when we put the frequency together with the others, we found that the dB range was too wide, because perhaps the other frequencies had a range of 12dB, and in this case, the range was 15dB. So we uniformed, also editing the intermediate values. You can understand that it was a crazy process, which took literally months to complete. Creating a Frankenstein eq is simple, the difficult thing is to edit a Frankenstein eq at a single frequency level and build a coherent product, with a sense. For us all this has been enlightening because we have dwelt on the positive or negative characteristics of each equalizer to perform a given task, we have learned a lot. Is this the final "boring" result? Of course not. Almost all Pensado eq comes from hardware machines, with a very specific phase and absolutely unpredictable behaviors for each frequency, the phase behavior varies heavily for each range of intervention, and not all go in the same direction. It's a very rich result, as you can see from the graphs in the manual, and difficult to reproduce in any other way. How could we call all this? WORKFLOW The plugin is not only very fast and light, but it is built to give the maximum speed of execution to achieve a pleasant result, where a normal FFT equalizer would quickly achieve a certain purpose in amplitude but not in phase. It's all frighteningly fast. The concept of the plugin you are talking about was present in our Versatile eq, where we mixed, for example, an AMBER and a Green to have a perfect equalizer according to the workflow of an Italian engineer who owned both machines. " I'm still demoing at this point, finding it useful for several things; bass, kick & sounding really good the 2 bus . A few more days before I decide if I need yet another eq... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zo Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I can' t recalll when i was so un' exited by a piece of gear hyped on around .... mmm maybe the CLA's NS 10 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 It's just an eq, like a passive one, now I know better. I saved 135 euros by not buying it. Sonically it's more transparent and clean than others, but doesnt sound amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
