This looks interesting.  Anyone taking one for the team?

$199???!!???
 
It better shine my shoes too.

Apparently makes the toast whilst keeping in perfect pitch.....

This was actually released two years ago and hasn't exactly caught on like wildfire since then. Which is not to say it's not an excellent idea; it very well might be. The price tag dampens my curiosity, though.
 
One potential problem is the presumption that an instrument's harmonic ratios remain constant regardless of the fundamental frequency or velocity. That's probably only true for synthesizers, which already have tracking filters and wouldn't benefit much from this product.

I've seen it before too.
 
It seems like it might be a nice way to cut down all the overtones that are NOT in tune with a song key or a chord you playing over. I haven't thought it through... maybe that's a silly idea.
 
I should try a demo on a vocal some day.

Surfer EQ doesn't grab me.

What did recently grab me was Track Spacer. I bought it.

Check out this tutorial by a guy demonstrating Track Spacer. It's very illustrative.

+1 for Track Spacer.

Hi Guys
intrigued by Trackspacer - do you find it worth the time (and money)? could you not do something similar (and perhaps with more control?) with automation on a standard EQ?
Is Trackspacer a better solution than say something like  the auto level plug-ins by Hornet / Waves?
Thanks
Nigel
 
 

Nigel,
 
Bitflipper says it's a waste of money since you can do the same thing with standard tools.
 
He did point me to similar a 32bit app called Space Boy by Elevayta. I've used it and it is quick and easy when all the instruments are on a bus and the vox are on a separate bus just setup a send an receive (one on each of the buses). Did the trick in less than 30 seconds of work.
 
I also bought Trackspacer (cuz it is 64bit) and it is similar in approach but I just have not had the time to try it out.

Thanks - I have to admit I was sort of thinking much like Bit, but as I had not tried it I thought I would ask - I might go and see if they have a demo as I am just about to embark on a load of vocal recording and mixing - anything for the easy life as they say!!
Cheers
Nigel
