      So inspiring indeed. I got this EQ some time ago, and there's an indescribable intimacy in the darkness it adds to the sound. Even when striving for presence, air, and clarity, this darkness shines through. It seems contradictory when I try to explain it. Unique and beautiful.

    Wow! This completly changed my thinking on EQ because ALL he did was boosting also in situations where I normally would have resorted to reducing "overly pronounced" frequency areas he just complemented the picture of the instruments. Great talent & plugin!

    Excellent video and explanation, however, 10:24-10:36 I'm wearing $7500 HiFiMan Susvara headphones, and I cannot hear a difference between on and byassed! Perhaps it's due to UA-cam quality.
    Amazing EQ results nevertheless.

      Good ears my dear. The response curve says exactly: There is nothing happening if no frequence is boosted or reduced ;-) So there is the MOST transparent transformer modeled which was ever built;-) Sometimes imagination tricks even the professionals!

    I can't understand one thing. i listened to everything i could find mixed or mastered by Zino and everything sounds like Zino mikorey! does he bully producers and mixers to change mixes ? coz i'm sure this can't be done by just mastering.

    Great sounding plugin, but the interface just really doesn't work in a software environment. I understand the appeal of a skeuomorphic interface from a marketing standpoint, and I am not suggesting anyone do away with it - it looks beautiful - but I definitely think development should cover and the expected profit should more than justify developing an alternative interface design that is taylored to using a mouse (sliders instead of dials, displays instead of a ring of numbers around the knobs) instead of what the original was made for (fingers). You don't have muscle memory regarding the placement of certain parameters like you do with hardware.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, but it is high time plugin developers think of this.
    And I can think of no one better to lead the charge than Plugin Alliance.

    • @MarkHarmer
      @MarkHarmer 2 роки тому +1

      I so totally agree. I think though the skeumorphic interface forces you to making decisions and trying them, then trying some difference - so I think you’re learning by making active decisions then changing them. With curves / sliders, it’s for sure a lot easier to home in on the sound you want, quickly, but maybe less of a build-up of learning (he quotes specific frequencies for various parts of the sound and I think that comes from long experience). I still agree with you though - I prefer the non-realistic-looking controls. As you imply, maybe have a choice of either in the one plug-in? That wouldn’t be difficult to implement since it’s only a control layer for the processing, surely?
