thanks for the response. i address saturation in my second vid. i was deliberately not testing distortion because i strongly feel it's better applied with a specific plugin. Phase is covered because otherwise i wouldnt be able to get decent cancellation on the tests if the phase was completely different.

This guy spent weeks of his career trying to convince us of something he can’t prove. You would need to not only create the easy stuff like EQ, which he does, but also incorporate harmonics, phase shift, etc. I’d rather buy a plug-in than waste time trying to figure all that out and not to mention what it does when you make the slightest change to any parameter.

If you create an amazing song, give it an amazing sound, and acheive something artistic whatever paintbrush you held in your hand at the time to do it is the one you used. Maybe the colour of the plugin inspired you, maybe oversampling helped, maybe the lack of oversampling helped, maybe the dirt was the fire you needed, maybe the clean curves gave you what you needed. We are worried that we are being screwed over, but the only ones screwing us over is ourselves by worrying about it. Let audiophiles be and let artists be.

Nice one Adam, Bertom Audio also have a free EQ curve analyser. That's the one I use these days.
