You can't make posts within 2 minutes of each other....you must wait until the timer resets and then you can post again... My post count would probably be doubled if that rule didn't exist...LOL

If you haven't given it at least two minutes' forethought, what are the odds that your post will be profoundly thought-provoking, mildly interesting or even grammatically coherent?
OK, so maybe two minutes doesn't provide enough contemplation time to guarantee anything of the sort. But it can't hurt.

I must compliment Bitflipper for the very thorough and helpful article on MDynamicEQ. Certainly one of the best plugin reviews I've read ... I especially liked all the examples of real-world use.
Bit man, are you a professional writer? If not, you could be. Seriously. Excellent job! Looking forward to the next installments.
Cheers,

Thanks, Eddie. Nope, not a professional writer, just a hobbyist.

Very knowledgeable of your subjects as a hobbyist! I just finished the article and probably/definitely need to re-read it for good measure.
Looking forward to the next installments as I own the MAutoDynamicEQ and MSpectralDynamics.
Thanks for the Great Job Bit.
Purrrfect Audio DAW here. Wow!...

I know MDynamicEQ well simply because it's my go-to equalizer these days. Yes, even supplanting my beloved Pro-Q on the more critical tracks. Pro-Q is more CPU-friendly, so it'll always have a home here. But for critical stuff like vocals, it's now usually dynamic equalization by default.
MAutoDynamicEQ isn't a whole lot more complicated, as it's pretty much the same plugin but with the spectrum-matching feature added. The next installment will therefore be primarily about spectrum matching, what it's good for and, more important, what it's not.
The MSpectralDynamics article is the one I'm looking forward to most. I started working on it weeks ago, even though it won't be published until September. Attempting to explain something - anything - is a great way to reveal the depths of your own ignorance. And golly, this plugin has a lot going on inside.
It's one of the most intriguing plugins I've ever used. At times it seems like it just might be that elusive holy grail, that magic turd-polisher of online mythology. Other times, I'm twisting knobs and wondering: what the heck does that one do? Fortunately, the developer has been very helpful and tolerant of me bugging him with questions.

I have to say MAutoDynamicEQ has become a very close friend of mine... I've paid 10 times as much for plugins far less valuable...
