That's my understanding also....so once I give it a whirl I'll report back...
Can't get to it today....got meetings and then Band Rehearsal tonight...
Will take the dive 2morrow...
Sounds good......SOS gave a little review:
"The stand-alone Boom plug-in is only available in a stereo version, and is the exact opposite of BX_dynEQ in terms of complexity, as there are only two controls. A kick-drum graphic turns out to be an Amount knob for boosting or attenuating the effect, and a kick-drum pedal is a three-way switch for selecting the frequency range for processing (32, 48 or 64 Hz). The knob also seems to be linked to the processing threshold. Apparently, the low boost is applied only for around 50ms per hit, so the sound never gets messy. The bass-drum knob flashes when an over-the-threshold hit is detected: avoid having it lit all the time or the dynamic effect will be lost.
I used Boom to rescue a badly recorded kick drum with no real weight to it, and it did a great job. Simple though it seems, Boom includes the M/S capabilities of the full BX_dynEQ, so that kick drums can be equalised (both positively and negatively) within a stereo mix without upsetting the side signals, hence the reason the plug-in is stereo. Personally, I’d have liked a separate threshold and amount control, rather than having them apparently combined, and perhaps a mono version without the M/S processing, but
Boom is a great way to get results without having to think too hard, offering a powerful ‘instant’ solution hiding behind a trivially simple user interface."
I like no-brainers.
