FREE dynamic EQ download!

jsaras, Thank You So Much!

I really appreciate all of you help and advice.

Again, thank you Jonas.

Thank you jsaras. I'll try this................JDW

Can you say CPU hog? One instance smacks my CPU 13% instantly - similar for y'all?

About 10% here. I guess that's why it's in the category of mastering effects.

Thanks Jonas.

Sweet Jonas! I just read the manual for that sucka, I love their "You can ruin your mix!" warnings.

Other than having different 'characteristics' I'm not seeing exactly how it's different from multiband compression. Here's my guesstimate...

In a multiband the signals flow through parallel paths from Bandpass filter > compressor > sum back together
So the compressor can only affect the signal in the passband of the front end filter.

This dynamic EQ is different because it each band affects the whole signal with a parametric EQ setting that is controlled by the dynamics of a seperately adjustable bandpass filter.

Is that right?

If you haven't worked with dynamic EQs before, I'd suggest reading the short manual that's included with the download. The manual isn't the greatest so it may take awhile to wrap your mind around how to use it. However, dynamic EQ can be a wonderful and dangerous tool in your mastering tool box.

If I read the pdf correctly it looks like it could be a nice tool to carve out a little sonic space if two instruments are fighting for dominance. Like a guitar and a lead vocal. When the lead vocal is present then the the guitar can be eq'd to leave a hole for the vocalist.

Or maybe a good way to correct bleed in a drum mic?

My bad. When I read "side chain" I automatically thought it meant it could be keyed by another track. This doesn't look to be the case. Either that or I don't see where the sidechain is.

Hi all!

Glad you found a use for my plug..

You may be interested to hear that I have been working on a better version, currently sporting the memorable title 'IQ4pro'

The design is fundamentally the same, except for the following:

Lower cpu use.
64-bit internal resolution.
Peak / RMS detection switchable per band.
More flexible side-chain filter options, with new BR mode.
Cool brushed aluminium skin (by Eric Langou www.novaflsh.com)

There will also be a version with extra side-chain inputs when I get round to making it..

One of the main things currently delaying its release is: I can't decide how much to charge.. any suggestions at all?

Free?

Now, you don't have always to write what others think, do you?

Oh, btw: Welcome, Dan! And many thanks for the cool plug!

Free?

I might give it away free.. if it wasn't for the other people who have contributed (graphics and custom made filter modules) .. and the fact that I am now expected to create a bunch of presets, write a manual, and learn how to create a web site for it.. I'm buggered if I'm doing all that for nothing!

(Thanks dreamkeeper, you're welcome!)

Well now...I feel just awful.
Sorry...I'm an idiot. Sh!t.

I would look around whether there's sth. similar on the market and how much it's charged for.

Haven't got that deep into it yet, but it seems to have huge potential and sure has a nice sound. It seems to be a "beast" also, I don't have problems setting up a multiband but this one is different. But then again, I like beasts!

hey IIRs dude, i'm a programmer too, hoping to make plug ins eventually. In another thread people are saying it's worth the price of a *house* for certain effects like analog summing. Given the expectations of our customer base, seems like we've found a great market here. good luck to you

I downloaded this last night, and have been working with it. It's unique, and I think it sounds pretty good - maybe even good enough to replace some of my older mastering plugs.

I like the free beta version, but I would be willing to pay a bit for something with more features, etc. Although, as it stands the free version is quite a deal :)

If you want to move these, I would suggest a price in the neighborhood of about $99-$129.

My advice - contrary to most views - is to not sacrifice quality in exchange for conserving CPU demands. The problem with most effects is that they - technically - perform the way they are supposed to, but not at a quality level that rivals the hardware. Keep the quality and advertise it as a special intensive plug that needs to be used alone or just in mastering.
