I downloaded the trial and played around with this for 5 minutes...then I went and bought it. That was THE shortest evaluation time I've ever needed to find out if a plugin is worth my time or not. This thing is INCREDIBLE. Well done!
Immediately I must compare it to Gullfoss.
It’s hard to know for sure without a clear description, but Gullfoss uses some analysis which finds frequencies which are masking frequencies above them and reduces them or boosts the masked frequencies.
This is more like: there’s a target spectral curve we’re trying to EQ our sound toward.
It’s possible these end up being similar EQ targets, but I suspect gullfoss is more nuanced and leaves the sound more “as-is” and mostly tamps down frequencies that are sticking out more than they should. This on the other hand is a coarser tool - and is trying to get the spectrum to be balanced regardless of masking or relationships between local EQ bands.
I now have both, and on a quick comparaison, I think that Gullfoss is doing a better job (to my taste) for a whole mix but for single tracks, Equalizer is superb, a really nice plugin to have in our tool box! ;)
Or maybe it is closer to the Baby Audio Smooth Operator ...
@@pasc1977for “a” whole mix!! Not “an” whole mix!! That makes no damn sense.
@@BR_READDY225 Sorry for the bad typing, thanks for the correction!
I mean everytime, everytime, you confirm that you're the most innovative vst company. And btw this presentation is really well done and shows passion that goes into creating plugins. That's all I'm asking for
This plugin is truly magic, it is like an all in one go to seasoning. I love my iZotope plug-ins but this equalizer is a game changer. The passion and hard work that was put into this is apparent once you hear it in action on your own mixes.
Excelente Plugin! I bought your plugin and tested it even with less than stellar tracks. It is really good, powerful, simple, precise. For a producer like myself, this is exactly what I need at the time of equalizing and balancing my tracks and move on to the next task. Bien hecho, gracias!
I think that this is a very special plugn that could end up having a very wide usefulness. The control per ban over how much of the processing is applied is fantastic and really elevates this into a precision tool. Congratulations!
I agree with the usefulness and specialness, but to me precision tool means I know exactly what the plugin does and have very precise control over it. With this one I'm not sure what it actually does and I can't use it linearly and expect it to behave the same every instance. Don't take me wrong, I love plugins that have only few knobs and sound this great, just that I can't call it a precision tool per se.
I am always fascinated by your plug-ins and love the simple yet powerful performance. This time, though, you've really outdone yourself. I see this as one of the most profound workflow breakthroughs in the audio world in the last decade! The mathematical precision coupled with enough control to be used creatively makes it useful for so many applications. Truly amazing work!
Wow! Thank you so much!
Yeah but pro Q-3 has a better better workflow and UI, and Shade is far more unique/groundbreaking
@@LunaRealized Of course, each person is entitled to use the tools they are most comfortable with. I've used Pro-Q for a long time and, to me, there's room for both tools. You certainly can accomplish the same task with other EQs but this does 90% of the work and saves lots of time spent doing surgical EQing. The less time I have to spend chasing down a troubling frequency = the more locked into the creative process I am. It's great that you already have a workflow you enjoy, though!
@@natecornell-official761 I totally agree
Not to take anything away from this plugin, it’s awesome and quite unique but it’s not the first of its kind. Gollfoss EQ has been out for a few years now and has the same function but the target EQ is more curved like a song than aiming for flat. It’s a great plugin but also costs twice as much as Equalizer. I went with Equalizer and am very happy with it. Trackspacer is also amazing, definitely check that one out too if you haven’t already
I tested Equalizer for 3 days both against the competition and my own static parametric eq'ing and it totally blew me away. Equalizer came out on top by a long shot. Not only that, I can apply the same settings to recordings that have very different issues and it 'repairs' them all to a standard that I'm super happy with. Congrats and thanks to the people at Wavefactory.
Amazing plugin. Brilliantly coded. You are one of my favorite plugin makers!
Amazing work, well done. I bought
Always feel safe because I know you are always making things better and giving us a free update. So there's nothing to worry about, you're number one.
your a gift to this industry bro! every plugin you make is indispensable
I must say this eq is amazing!!! Once I demoed it, bought it immediately!!!
Wavesfactory never disappoint! But this time it's very unique one. I need to demo it ASAP! Thanx!
Amazing, your plugins are at the top of my list for all my tracks. Felicidades!
Congratulations. Fantastic new concept. This is a break thru plugin 👍
Hola jesus, no contento con Trackspacer y ahora me encuentro con esto!!! Increible.!!! Un trabajo de 10 y sobre todo sencillo, que es lo que hay que pedir a los plugins, sencillez y funcionanlidad, no magia. Y por favor, sigue así. Saludos!
sound pretty nice on demo. I feel like it will really help pop out harmony voices, I often find chorus singers hard to sit in a mix to make each voice clear. This also sounds pretty clear I can hear the compression type of effect but I dont hear any mp3 like swooshing like I have heard in popular spectral plugins. also realtime aspect is awesome. I am going to give it a go. I also like the origin story, taking a misunderstanding and converting it into an idea and then to a tool ten years later is very cool. cheers.
Amazing products.. More Plugins like these please ❤
Instantly makes everything sound good. Every plugin claims that bot only a Few actually achieve this. This is the plugin of the year right there.
Downloaded the demo and A/B'd it with Sonible Smart EQ - granted they are sort of different tools, but this is what I wanted from Smart EQ when I bought it - kind of unbelievable how this works in real-time. Will continue testing with the demo, but so far this is a win.
awesome idea and simple interface. i need to try this
Instant buy! Excellent job guys! :)
Loved each bit of it!!
Voy directamente a probar este plugin, se ve muy prometedor...
Very interesting ❤ love your work. Will def try the demo
I will certainly check this plugin out andI I liked the style of the presentation.
Wow this sounds amazing. Can’t wait to try it out
Buena Suerte, lo estamos probando en el estudio! It is nice!
Excelente herramienta, me gustó mucho el fundamento para desarrollarlo , de eso se trata puramente es ecualizar. Claro que sirve para moldear el sonido y tiene mucha utilidad. Felicitaciones creo que finalmente esto podría cambiar el paradigma de mezcla.
It is a simular approach like the Baby Audio Smooth Operator Plugin which I use for my remastering ever since it's release. I am working with Steinberg Wavelab Pro and I believe your EQ fits good in my mastering chain.😊
What a quality plug in!
A surefire future classic. Might need a few more features (the nodes aren't my favorite, perhaps a dynamic EQ, I don't like Tilt EQs) but I can see that this is something special.
Looks great about to demo it right now!!
Looks pretty cool and way easier than using pink noise eq match or similar
This looks amazing, I plan to buy it soon
Muy buen trabajo como siempre!! Opino tambien que con Sidechain seria ya brutal pero estoy deseando probarlo
The mix per band is a very cool idea and seems well implemented, that makes the plugin definitely stand out compared to others that do similar things such as ThirtyOne by Hornet or in lesser sense Gullfoss.
ThirtyOne by Hornet is amazing however I think it's a different technology and gives very different results. And for 6 euro, ThirtyOne is a bargain. I think one can simply use both.
This is brilliant, bravo!
Well thought, good job, Will try it.
Very cool, so its more like a filterbank in the style of TEOTE but with simplified controls as in Gullfoss?
Next take on this approach after Ozones stabilizer. Which is also cool.
Now its a difficult point, how much more of theese type of intelligent EQs I want to collect :D I love the approach and I want to see and own every type of realizing it in a plugin. But now it really needs the trained ear to not be fooled by shiny new GUI's that might sell you the same thing you already own and trick you with visual bias.. You are a great developer, I dont expect you to sell me a recoded Gullfoss in a other clothing. But I am really curious to compare them (:
I see your point however TEOTE, even if it has the same price, is completely incomprehensible for noobs such as myself, while Gullfoss has a very high price. This seems like the best of both worlds and very affordable even for bedroom producers.
🍀🍀A very good presentation from a very likeable plugin developer who seems to have developed another excellent plugin. Compliment and congratulations! 🍀🍀
Bravo for your work mate.
Looking forward to getting this
This looks and sounds really interesting. A little bit like Ceiling of Sounds. But much faster. Love that there is a tilt filter on board. I will check it out tomorrow.
I also love spectre😊😊
A little yes but nothing like it 😁
Tremendo! Lo estoy probando y es brutal: sonido limpio, sin latencia y bajo consumo. Sólo me faltaría side-chain, dime que en un futuro estará y vendo el soothe ahora mismo 😅 Enhorabuena por el plugin, se queda!
Brillante, me encantó!
Awesome. thx 4 that. keep up the great work.
On my way to purchase it right now!
Wow! We love your plugins in the studio.
Already I have a feature request.
Equalize to "Target Curves"
1. Flat, regular like white noise
2. Pink Flat, relative to pink noise (The "Tilt" knob can have a pink dot when it's 3 db per octave)
3. Psychoacoustic Flat, relative to a target curve which is the average measurements of human hearing. I believe Loudness Units LUFS is based on this curve...
Thanks
You mean copy Ceilings of Sound Hyper Pro Eq
You should be able to achieve all of these yourself by applying an EQ curve before this plug-in and then the inverse curve after the plug-in, since it’s by default trying to make all frequencies equal (which is the definition of white noise)
This reminds me of Gulfoss, with the addition of some extra bits, including the per-band alterations
Gran plugin, en lo personal aunque puede ser usado por usuarios de todos tipos, creo que será uno de los preferidos para los usuarios más avanzados debido al enorme potencial que tiene, esta empresa tiene un futuro enorme.
brilliant!!! thank you!!!
Appears to me a bit like gullfoss. Will try and compare it. What i would love to see is a Lowcut
I try and I feel that this is even better than Soothe..... it gives you more control, to be honest!!
Finally a honest review, tx
This is exactly what I wanted. 😄
Very nice presentation
Brilliant!
Great work, love your passion. I wonder; how does this relate to plugins like Soothe 2 and Gulfoss? is it the same idea/concept?
my thoughts exactly
No, Soothe suppresses the resonances and it's like a thousand band or something ridiculous like that. Gulfoss confines the music to a curve that is proven to translate well on good speakers. This is 32 band upward and downward expander that tries to minimize the difference across the frequency spectrum. Not confining to any specific curve and not removing any resonances.
@@adithyasatheesh127 This is a good description.
@@adithyasatheesh127 Thank you, i understand a bit better now. Whats your opinion on this plugin? you seem to know a lot about it ;)
@@tendingtropic7778 I can't speak for you. It would depend on what you want the track to sound like. If removing resonances or confining it to a curve is your intention, this wouldn't do it. If the effect of flattening the curve is what you are looking for or plan to do something else after flattening the curve, this is a good option I'd say. It makes the process easier with having to tweak just one knob rather than having to set up a Multiband eq or compressor and tweak or the settings manually.. I'd use it on an overly bright or dull or honky sound to essentially inverse eq it and then eq it the way I want after.
Amazing! My first thought here is that I think it would be nice to have high and low pass filters on the sidechain input, much like Trackspacer does, so you could tell it to not look at the very low or high end on things that don’t need it. Everything else looks perfect, well done!
Watch the video till the end :)
it does have that feature
Looks like your on a winner with this.
This looks great. Definitely see the benefits for mastering, though less sure about elsewhere. You typically think of different tracks as occupying different parts of the frequency spectrum, rather than everything being flat. It would be good to see how this could work when mixing lots of things.
This is my primary question as well! How does it improve a mix to level the different tracks in this way. It reduces their character and makes them all occupy similar parts of the spectrum.
This prepares your tracks in order to be mixed later. It will take away a lot of repetitive tasks but it will not mix your song automatically. It will get your tracks ready to be mixed. And the mixing process will be much simpler later and you will get much better results in much less time.
I compared it a bit with the DSEQ from tbproaudio. When it comes to the amount of cut ( removing unwanted frequencies ) you can do to an audio, DSEQ can perform a bit better, but it doesen't have the boost freq option. Also the graphic part of the eq its more detailed in DSEQ.
Looks nice! Does it suffer from the same clicky artifacts as your Quantum plugin on low frequency sources, or is it better?
Should I think of this as a sort of 32 band multi band compressor/OTT? Sounds good. Just wondering if this plug in could generate any phasing issues?
Hello. Congratulations on the new plugin. It looks very interesting. A question. Could Equalizer be considered as a serious alternative to oeksound Soothe 2? All the best!
Fantastic ❤❤❤
Curious as to how this works on hip hop and other forms of bass heavy genres
Like Pink Noise as a side chain into a more technical Trackspacer, but also boosting? or like a passive idea ? Hmmm... Will give it a go... As I use trackspacer that way.. sometimes
BTW.. Reminds me of the newfangled suite approach.... And thats a good thing...
Looks great! Would this be good for vocals so that you didnt have to muaully ride the volume control so that its all the same level?
Interesting and sounds cool....is not like a kind of full band Expansion and Compression/?/ have that kind of sound.... in which ways differ from Sonible SmartEQ 2 or Gulfoss?
With this amount of EQ I'd imagine there is some phase issues? How is phase handled in this plugin?
No phase issues :)
Try mixing the dry and wet signal using the Mix parameter or just load it in one of two identical tracks and you won't hear any weird cancellations.
@@wavesfactory Well I bought it... I'm very happy with it!
BRAVO!
This is revolution !!!
it seems to do what TEOTE by VOXENGO does, in a more simple version , but I like it
great plugin and great job as always :)
thanks
already purchased and managed to play with Equalizer a lot.
seems to have found a bug. every time I restart the projects, the value of "Amount" is reset to the default 50%.
or am I doing something wrong?)
There should be away to choose the range of the effect.
U see, maybe I'm perfectly happy with my low end and only want to effect the highs.
Ohhh... I was just writing this comment before the end...
Forget it!! Watch the video to the end guys!!
Plugin seems great! 👍🏽
It seems to be a cool & useful plugin but what make special this plugin vs Gulfoss?
Would love to see this plugin in a shoot out with Gullfoss
hi, does the plugin analyze the source and act accordingly or it has a fixed frequency curve its trying to achieve?
Looks great, a great help, is it generally cpu light/ heavy?
Looks very quick and powerful to use. For those of us trying to balance expenses from paycheck to paycheck, when is the intro offer expiring? I've been browsing all over and I'm having a hard time a finding date mentioned anywhere.
Thanks for your message! The intro price ends August, 1st.
So question should this eq go before or after the plugins in your vocal chain for the best results
Just tried the demo.... sounds good. One slight improvement/feature request, a short cut to reset all the drawn in nodes, rather than having to double click reset each one individually? May be this could be a future classic plugin like Trackspacer. :)
Click + drag all dots while holding the shift key :)
@@wavesfactory Brilliant, thank you.
Question you said you can use this plugin on everything. How is it on CPU? I definitely I’m interested in this plugin . The video was very detailed!!!
Another where is the plugin most useful in your processing chain before or after your other plugins for example (your vocal chain) desser compressor etc.. will this plugin go before your other plugin processing, or after??? 🤔🤔🤔
OMG...that candy seems so sweet, like it 👈🏾💯!!!
So basically, this is an audio recovery eq for poorly recorded sources. How destructive it is it? What I don’t think we are able to discern on this platform is ongoing artifacts created by the plug-in.
It’s a very interesting concept.
I’ll try it
It would be really nice for it to work only on a selected frequency band, with a high and lo cut. I would want to be able for it to be on a complex bass sound but not affect the sub bass for instance
ahh sorry, i just watched to the end, that exactly what I would want
@@EdSoloUKLOL Yeah great feature and I like this better than just a highpass/lowpass because this way you be way more specific in determing which frequencies you want to process/ leave unaltered and how much of processing per band
So a multiband compressor with tiltshift based on 32 bands with mid side controls? Zero latency meaning post ringing too?
and non-threshold dependant too, unless I missed something. It basically evens out the whole spectrum so this is something that's not possible with a multiband compressor or dynamic eq
@AlonsoUrmeneta interesting, to be honest, I didn't watch the whole video but will now :)
Big question is: How is this compared to gullfoss?
Interesting! What about say, a bass guitar - I don't want this equalised across the whole frequency spectrum. I know that I can turn down the high frequency bands BUT does it analyse the whole frequency range or only the frequency range of the sound that is being affected?
It analyses the whole frequency range all the time. It's only the second stage that's changed.
Would this be an equivalent to Gullfoss or Sooth2? The price is attractive as I'd never pay no 200$ for an EQ.
Can we get a undo and redo function too Please. Thanks.
Alguien me explica cómo funciona exactamente ósea que hace el plugin en sí, porque no me he enterado mucho :(
Does this also help remove resonant frequencies for high gain electric guitar?
Sure
Without lookahead, how does the plug-in deal with transients ?
Great work again. Congratulations! As you say, everything you pass through this equaliser sounds better! I will demo it and probably buy it straightforwad. Thanks! On another note, please consider making AUv3 versions of your plugins for iOS. It woukd be great to have them together with the ever growing options for mobile production (including the recent Logic Pro for iPad)
I believe this does some spectral analysis, uses some type of exciter and advanced multiband compression? Somewhat similarly to Fresh Air. Sounds great, I think I might prefer this to Fresh Air. Except for the fact that Fresh Air is free. That's hard to top lol
Sounds great to me but is it causing problems when you have to deliver stems for mastering or even mixing? Thanks for any answere
That's why it would be handy to have an external sidechain functionality.
12:51 what is not very clear is how the range of the effect being applied works... you have the "0" line , then above positive, and below negative.... but rather can you see it from the very bottom like no Effx, then 0 should be 50% and then the very top 100%?
No, the middle line is 100%. Top is 200%, which exagerates the effect. And bottom is 0%.
