    I decided to put it to the test. At first glance, I was not impressed. Their Clarity VX astounded me much more year ago. However, on the next touch, I revealed additional controls at the bottom! I improved the results by tinkering with them.

    Nice review, waiting for my free copy. unrelated question , i'm looking for new wide screen instead of 2 separate screen i have now, what model of screen you got ,looks like 2 screen wide, and can it also perform and function as 2 screens if needed ?

    • @whitenoisestudio
      @whitenoisestudio  6 місяців тому +1

      Not this particular screen. It’s an oldie. But the change from 2 screens to 1 has been ergonomically much better. A proper 4K screen will give you more than enough space to work with. I for instance never have the mixer and project window open at the same time.

    so, off topic, have you tried the new plugins in cubase 13? I completely missed the release and just noticed it was available when i launched my cubase 12 haha. Tried to go throu your channel a bit but couldnt find any related video i think?

    • @whitenoisestudio
      @whitenoisestudio  6 місяців тому +1

      Yeah I didnt do a Cubase 13 video. Haven't really found time to dive into it and didnt check out any plugins in 13. Have some projects I have to finish which I did in 12 and I'm not switching versions during any project ;-)

  • @ply6921
    @ply6921 5 місяців тому

    After testing various voiceovers. Silky fails when the low end in a voiceover is overly exposed. The HP filter is nearly useless: there is virtually no way to tame anything below usable voice bass. The trick is to use the female mode for a male voice, or even better, use another HP filter before the plugin and then treat the filtered voice with Silky's processing subtelly.

  • @bassc
    @bassc 6 місяців тому

    The mono & stereo version I suspect could be solved by a switch inside a single plugin, but they are maybe scared that would be less obvious? Technically the host should provide the channel count to the plugin but they don't always do this correctly, so devs need to work around it with solutions like this since it is considered undeterminable.

    • @whitenoisestudio
      @whitenoisestudio  6 місяців тому +1

      My hunch is, and that pure speculation, that it has something to do with how the waves plugin architecture works. Maybe there’s an issue with their waveshell wrappers which prevent that.
      I mean if most developers have found workarounds, then waves should be able to do that as well

    • @DerekPower
      @DerekPower 6 місяців тому

      @@whitenoisestudioI agree.
      Remember they are committed to maintaining their tools in a way that they work consistently across any and all platforms. This unfortunately means sticking to that mono-stereo distinction because of how older DAWs were designed (cough - SoundTools, now ProTools). I think the only way it can occur is if they reform their waveshells to look for the DAW being used.
      Relatedly, I would love it so that I can select what plug-in format to use. In general, I install VST3 only (and stand-alone when asked) and I have no need for VST or AAX. It's a way to save clutter and space.

      But you also can’t blame me for thinking that because 1) precedent and 2) it does look like a smaller component of a larger idea. And yes, I think this could be expanded into something bigger down the road =]

      @DerekPower yes fortunately! If it wasn’t true I would have had a serious trust issue. And I’m confident waves will do a pro version or whatever it will be called later. I think they looked at past years with the cyber Monday release and maybe the Israel situation made them decide not to release something today.

    It sounds like the female vocal gets weaker when you turn on the plugin.

    • @whitenoisestudio
      @whitenoisestudio  6 місяців тому +3

      You think? For me it really sounds smoother, that prominent midrange has been reduced in a nice way which creates, for me, a better blend. I did not compensate for volume.

    • @BillGraper
      @BillGraper 6 місяців тому

      @@whitenoisestudio That could be it. I'm hearing weaker vocals in some videos, and stronger in others. One guy is using the compressor, and maybe the makeup gain isn't evenly matched. Some of these tutorials make the plugin sound amazing! I'm still not sure if I like taking too much out of the mids. When people hit the 'delta' button, I think I hear too much being taken out. I want to be careful with this plugin. I think it'll take time for me to be a pro with this, just like most things. The more you practice, the better you get.

    • @whitenoisestudio
      @whitenoisestudio  6 місяців тому +1

      I think that's the best approach. Yeah its hard to judge some before after, especially when gain isnt matched. one tends to prefer a louder version without it actually sounding better and vice versa.
