Introduction to Smart Operations in Nova GE and SlickEQ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Dan Worrall looks into the new "Smart Operations" feature found in several Tokyo Dawn Labs audio plugins, and shares a few tricks and thoughts.
Smart Operations analyse the audio input’s spectral properties to allow running advanced Operations in dependence of this information. The system internally searches for the optimal plugin parameter settings for the case at hand, and sets them accordingly.
The operations cover a wide array of applications: Spectral matching against various references, detection and removal of static resonances, filter configuration tasks and more. Operations can be fine-tuned toward a specific frequency range and total extent of the effect (both negative to positive).

Watching Tokyo Dawn plugin intros make me feel like James Bond getting prepped for some kind of weird mastering mission.
Dan`s tutorials are better than listening to a tape of Hansel&Grettel
The Dynamic match function+ communicaton between Nova instances is Sweeeeet! Cool addition!
This is how every VST plugin should be presented
Just leave that to Dan W, absolutely!
@@Erudotic Gush more
Agreed!!
All I can say now is: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound clarity, the features at this price range...
...WOW!
THANK YOU , Dan!
Thank you all from Tokyo Dawn Records (Labs)...
Hats off to this brand for making this de-resonate feature. I wanted to make my vocals smoother and it helps a whole lot, especially making vocals sound tighter and overall cleaner. INCREDIBLE
What powerful plugins. Blown away by these! ...and you keep making them better. Thank you!
Sold my iZotope plugins for these. Full respect to the devs
I just uninstalled ozone 10. Good grief.
I watched this video a year and half ago, and I didn't see how I could really use all the features of nova ge. But now, I think I'm ready. Thanks! The free version of Nova has served me well. ☺️
So I just bought the TDR bundle and didn't even realize about this .... HOLY SHIT I'M IN LOVE!! If only I'd had this 2 days ago!! *cries* best 130 bucks I've spent on anything audio!
This is honestly next level. Hope you realize how much you revolutionize things
Matching to pink noise is a great way to balance the mix. Glad I watched the video until the end😁
Now the conclusion to spreading the free versions ...
Smart Ops !
There is a lot to love about TDR. Music mixers/producers on youtube don't talk enough about them. TDR offers some of the best free plugins on the market, with the option to upgrade them to more advance ones as you see in the video. My one criticism of this video are the ads in it, which is already an ad.
Marvelous tools, and great sounding musical examples btw
What a phantastic function and a great tutorial. Just found this AFTER upgrading to the TDR Everything Bundle. Clearly confirming that my choice was right. Even without this, I thought that NOVA (GE) is one of the most powerful plugins on earth, as it can server as an EQ, a multi/single band comp/expander and everything in between. You could mix whole songs with it (with the exception of delay and reverb). But combined with these detection functions - boy. This is as mighty as hell.
brilliant plugins with great tutorials. thanks
Thanks for this. I had no idea about some of these absurdly powerful features! I'm glad I picked it up on sale!
These videos are so well made. Great job!
Thank you for showing this wonderful features of the already wonderful plugins from TDR. They make such good plugins for such good prices. I learned something new. Thank you :)
Mastering EQ will be my next buy. Im testing trial and im amazed how great this plugin is.
Your tuts are so well done Dan! I can listen to them several times and learn something new on each play.
I fucking love TDR and Dan Worrall.
thats is something what i thought about years ago. thank you for your plugins!
I love their stuff. Their Kotelnikov , and EQ's are my favorite go to plugins. The free versions are fantastic as well.
So good, wow. Makes my listening music sound even better.
Fantastic stuff honestly!
You're breathtaking
Outstanding. You’ve gained a subscriber and a GE edition buyer!
WOW OK YEAH
Woah, just came from another DanWorral-video and was surprised to hear his voice here. Nice surprise!
My absolut Go to Eq for everything. Thanks a lot !
For everything??
Thank you so much those are very instructive.
Gotta love sensei Dan.
Props to TDR👏 i love their plugins
Thanks for the section detailing how to make one microphone try to sound like another. This tutorial was very useful. Question - After I make the EQ profile of the second microphone, is there a way to save/convert that profile as an impulse response file? I see I can save it as a user preset in Nova GE. Thanks again for a really useful video!
OH MY GOD! This is just Insane!
Pricesice! :-)
Great videos! You make me want to spend money 🎉
I had no idea my GEs had this feature. This explanation was GREAT. Thanks for another jam-packed with useful info tutorial Dan!
BTW, what is the starting mic in this video? The tube shaped one at 7:28 (WA-47? K2?). It sounds way better than the TLM looking one.
YESSS...!!!!!! DAN 🔥
Bravo!
Thanks!
You should make an or 20 bands version... Awesome!
Smoothing option for detection would be amazing.
Great!
I wish we could hear a bypass to compare to all the magic that is happening so I could be amazed by what TDR is creating. Or if there was a limited time demo of the programs would really help me to understand the potential. Or an example of this on a vocal track that had character that could be cleaned up, or is this a mastering process?
No, we don't have time limited demos. We offer unlimited demos, they just can't recall automatically (like analog devices). ;)
Having all 3 of them I find Nova`s smart operations best for almost everything, because it can do dynamic match/deresonate etc. However adding saturatuon and matching stereo pan are also important. Is it Ok to use all of them on 1 track/master track, or will it bring too much phase issues?
Also can you add mp3 import into Slick M please?
Yes and yes.
All our plugins can be put in series without any drawbacks. I'd start to get skeptical when a problem asks for more than 3 plugins, though. ;)
Mp3 why not. I don't see how it would hurt anybody. Expect it in the next update.
Great vid! One question: why does deresonate result in totally different responses in Slick EQ vs Nova?
That's because smartOps is basically a signal dependent preset generator for the plugin at hand. It has to use the means provided by the plugin it controls: Its function, its parameters and control range.
Nova and SlickEQ cover different purposes and offer different sound parameters. SmartOps tries its best with whatever it has available. SlickEQ's results will likely be more on the smooth/least intrusive side, while Nova results will likely be more aggressive in nature.
@@TokyoDawnRecords In my tests, Nova looks more aggressive but sounds more smooth :). But they act on completely different frequencies even when configuring Nova to just three bands. That's what surprised me.
Well, great products all the same!
game changing features that no one has heard about.
what's the recommended range of dynamic deresonate range for individual track?
When will you add the smart-ops feature to "match cultural reference"? :)
Lol
hey guys! if i need to process both the mid and the side separately, do i just pull up two instances of the plugin?
Yea, this needs to be in the plugin.
los videos de mastering están exelentes a que curso de formación corresponden.
could this be possibly used for frequency masking?
Is it possible to ,match eq in nova in the same way as in slickEQ?
Wich one would be better for it?
How can Smart Operations be used to suppress clicks, pops and other transients?
Anyone using bitwig 3? I can't use the learnt input in the other track , where i want to use it. The little cogwheels not light up next to the Learning button. Anyone has the same issue? Nor the AU neither the VST3 version works as in the video...
I want a Bob Ross painting session resynchronized with Dan Worralls voice.
Painting with sound
So i guess it's pretty interesting to buy Nova-ge instead of my current free-one. I love the Slick eq-m-ge already:), but not the cpu-usage:(
just use the lowest quality version and turn on "highest quality for render"
CPU usage with TDR plugins is high because they default to a very high quality mode. It is equivalent to 4-8 times oversampling. Do not hesiate to use the ECO mode, antialiasing then still surpasses your average 2x oversampled plugin.
Our conceptual background is mastering. Hence the high default quality.
i'm confused as to how or why a new-jazzy bossa dance track would have less bass than a basic tutorial narration?

TDR NOVA GE at 3:33
Is Dan somehow linked with TDR?
it's possible that Dan already liked the TDR plugins himself before TDR asked him to make a video on several of 'em.
the music in the video is too loud, hard to heart it for who not speak english very well(me)
subtitle follows soon
ok, ty for reply. amazing videos Dan, cheers from Argentina.
@@MrFLAVIUS12 We now added both English and Russian subtitles
@@TokyoDawnRecords ty although i speak spanish... lol
@@MrFLAVIUS12 ¡qué bueno ver a otro argentino usando estos maravillosos plug-ins!

The music at the same level of your voice !!!! Seriously ???
LOVE the Plug IN its Brilliant HATE the disappointingly Sexist Gentleman's Edition Naming
Please note there's also a non-sexist Gentleman's Edition naming. Given your preferences, you should go with that.
Calm down, don’t be such a snowflake. 10 years ago no one cared that it was named “Gentleman’s Edition” just make music and forget all that woke shit
I'm offended that you are offended.
@@JakeyWakey really? ya gonna go that way? (sigh)
@@kirkegodfrey414 apologies to your gentle soul. I guess they'll have to go with gentle person.
