Happy new MAutoDynamicEq User

Got this plug on sale last night. I am so excited to learn who to use it. Will seek out the YouTube videos first.

    I started mastering an old cassette from decades ago. I needed the pinpoint accuracy of taming certain frequencies and this plug is amazing! The EQ sounds very natural and the visual feedback is very well done.  I am very pleased with my $55 purchase I can assure you!

    I love MeldaProduction plugins.. No confusion about emulation of the old (not that that's a bad thing) but all new bright and shiny. All have a uniform layout which is great for familiarity, not to mention they just do their thing without getting in the way.

    I've been known to say nice things about Meldaproduction from time to time, too. MDynamicEQ is the one that finds its way into every project. It's actually superseded Pro-Q as my first-call equalizer, even when its dynamic features aren't needed. For me, it's the sonogram overlay that elevates the plugin to must-have status.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Re: Happy new MAutoDynamicEq User 2015/02/16 11:23:49 (permalink)
    Hey bit, where can I learn more about harmonics and how the plug can tame them? 
     
    I also want to learn when mastering a stereo wave file, how I can boost EQ on a very limited frequency of say 3K.  I am trying to bring out the syballance on an old mix w/o bringing up hat, cymbals, high end of electrics, etc.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    Hey bit, where can I learn more about harmonics and how the plug can tame them? 
     
    I also want to learn when mastering a stereo wave file, how I can boost EQ on a very limited frequency of say 3K.  I am trying to bring out the syballance on an old mix w/o bringing up hat, cymbals, high end of electrics, etc.
    Is this possible?

     
    Use a band as both a dynamic and static filter. For example, give it a 6dB static boost but with a -6dB dynamic reduction range. The track will, overall, get a boost while the parts that don't need it will get less. I use this technique a lot on vocal tracks to add some bite without making the "t"'s and "k"'s painful.
     
    In your scenario, though, where you've got elements within a full mix that share a common spectrum but you want one element to come up but not the other, that's much trickier. I'm not sure it can even be done, at least not automatically. I'd try setting up a filter as an expander, but set the attack time to around 8-10 ms or higher. This should at least let the filter ignore hi-hat hits and cymbal bell hits. Guitars, I dunno.
     
    Harmonics are an under-utilized facet of MAutoDynamicEQ's bag o' tricks. Where they're most useful is when mitigating resonances from a miked source in an acoustically-unfriendly room. The harmonic-series filter type works well because the base resonance is static, so you can just dial it in once and then forget it. It typically doesn't even have to be dynamic.
     
    The other cool application of the harmonic-series filter type is setting up complementary EQ to create L/R differences for width enhancement, or for creating a stereo track from a mono source.
     


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    I am a "bit" lost (NPI). Thanks for the info.  I need to learn the plug much better (I just got it). I will print this thread out and take a stab at your process.  Much appreciated bit!

    Rimshot, I think you said you'd read my tutorial, but just in case you haven't: http://soundbytesmag.net/meldamdynamiceqpart1/
     
    It's a beast of a plugin. It'll take some time to truly grok it. Even after making it a personal project to dissect in great detail, there are still things about it that I don't understand. Modulation, pitch detection and using it as a sound-design tool all remain on my to-do list.
     
    My advice is to start by using it as a normal equalizer, but one with an extra control that lets you say "apply this filter, just don't be stupid about it".
