TDR Prism is a modern frequency analyser with a focus on human audio perception. Easy to use and configurable, this audio plugin gives precise insight into the spectral properties of a signal. Among its flexible audio sourcing, decoding and visual configuration possibilities, Prism features a wide range of spectral weighting/tilting methods, peak/RMS smoothing options, including human auditory filters and real-time indication of auditory masking.
TDR Infrasonic offers precise control over the near-inaudible lowest frequency regions of a mix. It consists of a continuously variable slope filter, min and mixed phase modes, and mix control. It also includes a dynamic bump and a set of harmonic exciters meant to compensate for the perceived energy loss introduced by the filtering.
TDR Elliptical is a modern elliptical equalizer. An ideal choice whenever low frequency stereo positional information requires control. A continuously variable slope filter with min and linear phase modes, and mix option offer all necessary technical control. Advanced perceptual filtering and mono-summing compensation tricks help preserve the musical impact from input to output.
TDR Ultrasonic helps control the effects of ultrasonic build-up in wide bandwidth processing chains, i.e. whenever chains of nonlinear processors run at sample rates beyond 44.1/48kHz. A linear phase filter with a continuously variable slope, a mix control, and dynamic Ultrasonic Gate options allow to transparently block inaudible content and thereby achieve a lower total distortion in the audible spectrum, at the end of the chain.
TDR Arbiter is a remarkably flexible frequency-selective spectral balancer. What makes it special is the relative nature of the process: The effect is independent of the input signal level, making it an optimal choice for de-essing, plosive control, or overall manipulation of the frequency balance, all without affecting the original signal dynamics structure.
TDR is a shining example of how a plug-in company should operate. A great offering of free tools, with innovative speed and detail oriented paid tools for creators and professionals.
All offered at a fair price...with a no hassle licensing system.
All business, no hype.
👍👌
not to mention promotional material that can teach so many people so many things in one go.
Just bought one plugin gonna buy the rest to support them, would get the bundle but they deserve my money, so each plugin individually we go buying
All Dan Worrall videos are required viewing. Thanks so much!
i have nothing more to say
We love Daddy Dan 🎉😅
Too bad Dan suffers from TDS
🔥
@@bigbytebeats2316 Tokyo Dawn Syndrome? Sorry maybe I shouldn't be joking about that
Ok bye SPAN, you've been a helpful companion for many years...
I'm thinking the same thing. I've used Dan W's 1/3 Octave MS settings for Span for years and now I suppose I'll be using his suggestions for Prism. Especially as 1. You can use it on multiple sources/channels 2. Import references 3. It is so much prettier!
I'm tired of looking at it, honestly. lol
Not sure why SPAN is so popular
@@andyto629 well, it's free.
@@andyto629 because is pretty old and it probably was one of the firsts "graphic and user friendly" free analyzer to be suggested online in many tutorials at those times, if I recall it correctly. And it is good.
TDR, you did the right move involving Dan in your demonstrations. Kudos to the marketing team.
WOW... Every plugin manufacturer should get Dan to do one of these. What an incredibly informative walk-through. These are novel, complex processors, and I would have remained clueless about more than half their capabilities without Dan's take. I guess I'm gonna have to spend some more money now...
EDIT: I must say that I have used, occasionally, TDR plugins over the years, especially Vlad's old Limiter No. 6, but this FREE Prism analyzer hooked me. It does all of the things I've been wishing all my other analyzers would do, but didn't. So I went ahead and purchased both the TDR + OD Production Bundle and the Filters bundle; yeah, pretty much everything! These NEW plugins show that TDR is active and excelling at pushing boundaries, not simply playing the game.
TDL + Dan = ❤
It looks like this is the world first free plugin with frequency masking detection. Bravo!
Dan Worrall and TDL: a match made in Audio Heaven. A pleasure as always, Mr. W.
I think that a record company affiliated plugin creator that actually makes records is one of the reasons TDR plugins are so useable and relatively easy to use given how powerful they are.
I own all TDR GE editions... Next Ill consider this new bundle... But mate, for the first time, someone has explained what intermodulation actually is, and how it occurs....
Awesome-sauce!
I'm 40 minutes in and I've rewound every single time I wasn't paying attention so I could hear all of this Dan goodness 😂
Dan's voice was made for UA-cam tutorials ❤ A true disseminator 😊
I was dying for DW to make a Prism video, ever since his SPAN settings changed my life.
I'll be honest, my brain hurts after all of that. I'm not a professional mixer or mastering engineer - just someone who tries to make music at home and who tries to mix and master it as best he can, using basic tools such as EQ and compression. I thought I'd seen all the "problems" mixes can suffer from - now there's a whole new list of things to not conquer very well!!! 😵💫 Anyway, hats off to TDR and Mr Worrall.
I'm in the same boat more or less. The nice thing about these plugins is that they help sort these audio issues easily, and they're not complicated to use.
@@RuggedAndPrez I hope so....
EQ and compression are the best places to start! You're on the right track. This stuff all becomes simpler as you go. This stuff is definitely complex, but we're talking about a tenth of a percent here in terms of quality.
I definitely recommend snagging Prism because it's going to be useful as a tool for you to see what you're doing, particularly when you're mastering, but I'm a music production instructor/mastering engineer and I'm not champing at the bit to get the other ones. They're cool but absolutely not essential for 99.9% of applications.@@tonyrapa-tonyrapa
SPAN has been dethroned thank you TDR
Ty tokyo dawn for providing free TDR prism.
I was wondering why I was recommended this until I heard The Worrall
I am fan of TDR but did not know about these, very good video, especially the part about Intermodulation. I think I'm getting Arbiter for now for my collection. :-) Even free Prism, I had no idea that simple tool can be so sophisticated. 🙂
Edit: found it, the intermodulation reminded me of also very good video "Samplerates: the higher the better, right?"
imagine getting dan worrall to introduce your plugin! that would be such an honor
Since I firstly heard about TDR in 2018, I was surprised how awesome and versatile their plugins are. I use them with huge pleasure and their results have never been a fault to me.
Yes actually I'm using Engineers Filter on my Masterbus, but I think I found a new buddy here.❤
And TDR still fires out strong.🎉.
Now having Dan introducing their plugins is a secret dream come true.
Keep it stable guys and have a successful 2024🎉.
all of the new plugins are absolutely mind-blowing! my favourites from this list are prism and arbiter, but others are also satisfying. thank you TDR for great plugins and thank you Dan for a great video!
TDR plugins are loaded in every computer,every DAW we use. Salute!
We are using TDR exclusively on the some of these remasters of Shawn's work over on Eye Reckon Records, the label that Shawn started in Memphis. We were green lighted to start getting Shawn's rarities and releases he was getting ready to put out at the time of his passing out there. This is exciting news but as the engineer I wanted to share this information with you first. TDR Nova and TDR Kotelnikov are the only things we intend to use so it has as much quality as possible and doesn't interfere with Shawn's mixes. We think TDR and Ozone are the platinum standards these days and very eager to get this new content out. Thank you for such excellent plug ins. #TeamShawnLaneMemphis
Don't worry most people listen on phones, laptops, and bluetooth speakers they probably won't notice if you didn't add the odd harmonics, I feel like plugins are starting to take us into the weeds where the audiophiles hallucinate, don't worry if you had no idea what the hell Dan was talking about I was lost most of the time . The best advise Dan always gives is use your ears, I am still downloading these tools, just to pull them up in front of clients so I look smart plus they will look totally badass on dual monitors, that's what is really important. Thanks TDR for keeping us all on our toes
Love to see new plugs from you! Favorite DSP dev by far.
wow !!! ... i mean the plugins by TDR ... AND of course the walkthrough by Dan Worrall .... just great !
Found out about Prism a couple weeks ago and it's in all of my projects since ! One of the best analysing tool freebie (maybe the grand brother of Span?). Still I would have like to have a standalone version so it could be opened and running all the time on a separated windows.
this has replaced Span Plus for me.
What a truly great company! You offer the best and most advanced mixing tools that can be found in the vst market. I already own some (Gentleman editions) and it seems I have to dive deeper into what you have introduced now. Thanks a lot from an avid customer from Germany. :-)
Getting this set of filters tomorrow, Tokyo Dawn Labs fucking at it again. Best DSP and plugin devs ever. My mixes just got mega upgrades.
God knows how much I wish Live had the feature to connect plugins and be able to change oversampling at the same time in one go.
TDR is so amazing! I love this company!!!
This was such a good explanation of everything.
This is really great, as always. I especially appreciate the explanation for why one would use Elliptical over a normal HPF affecting only the difference channel, because that was a real lightbulb moment.
Exellent presentation of excellent products.
Got my set two days ago and have two of them already doing very useful tasks.
Call it value !
Happy New Year. As always, so much more than a review - an education. Thanks so much.
@DanWorrall Thank you Dan! Just a note regarding Prism: if you set Range to 80 dB and then Max to -30 dB, the lowest mark will go back down -110 dB.
Very neat. This really helped explaining what I assumed to be a bunch of filters. Arbiter may be very interesting to me in dialogue mixing. Thank you for the video.
love the subharmonics on the infrasonic sounds insane
For years Voxengo SPAN was my spectrum analyzer of choice. That will change from now on. Say hello to TDR Prism. Thanks a lot TDR!
I had no interest in purchasing those Special filters... at first. Then a friend convinced me esp given the fact that I own several TDR plugs. These filters especially Infrasonic and Ultrasonic are on all of my tunes since I bought them. Thanks to this vid I have a deeper insight on how I could apply the others I don't use. I'm not paid to say this. I'm just saying that these are good like all of the other TDR stuff. Great company. Looking forward to what they do next. Oh and the song selection in this vid is great!!
I suspect TDR might have gently nudged Dan with "let's go with songs that help mere mortals hear the points you're demonstrating."
His videos are the most informative out there, and but sometimes the differences he's showing aren't all that salient to novice ears, what with so much else going on.
I was doing music as hobby in previous years, I admit using lots of cracked stuff (old school mostly). But this company is what I would buy today if was doing music even as a hacker, because they really deserve it, stuff is incredible
Great video from Dan as always !!
This is again a masterpiece of a Dan Worrall tutorial. No one can explain complex audio physics better than Dan. A plugin company who can hire Dan is lucky. They must belong to the best. Because you can't buy Dan's opinion (that's my opinion).
TDR Prism is a very interesting and intuitive analyzer.
Thanks for this tutorial Dan and TDR!
Awesome. They all look, feel, and sound very sleek. Very keen to try them out
amazing as always, i love all your products, and im happy to see that more producers are digging tdr plugins
As always great plugins and great review! Thanks TDR and Dan!
Thank you Dan! Great video!
A very great set of filters.
Yes!! 🙏 been waiting for you to do a vid on these
Arbiter looks SO cool, I can’t wait to try it out in a mix!
Like the new plugins. Love Dan Worrall.
Thx a lot Dan, it saves so much time you figure everything out and took time to,explain. ❤
Love Dan and TDR!
Crystal clear presentation, thanks to the precision machine that is Dan's brain!
Oh dear, you did it again! :) Another amazing video with so much to learn between lines. This plugin is missing from my TDR collection, but I know what will happen soon... Great filters! Thank you very much, Dan and TDR, for your work!
I’ve always loved and used TDR plugins. I definitely won’t stop now. ❤️
Really great video. Kudos to the author
Interesting stuff. Thanks for explanation about aliasing etc. Plugins seems solid.
these filters are just what i needed
The elliptical filtering was actually a cool and/or scary thing I didn't know.
Wow, Dan is here! Now I really need to consider this plugin...
I'm so glad I jumped on the opener for these amazingly excellent plugins. In fact, I went all-in with TDR and "gentleman'ed up" some of the others. Thanks for another fantastic deep dive tutorial, Dan. Bravo TDR!
TDR and Dan are so great. But the music in the background makes it difficult to learn the material. A humble suggestion is, to lower the background volume considerably, or Dan's voice only. Thank you for the great plugin and walkthrough!
this spectrum looks so good :D bought 💸(already know it will be great)
My absolute favorite channel 🤘💀🍻🔥🙏
DW does it again. Excellent plugins and Introduction
Wow !!!! Didn‘t remember when i bought something so fast. Thanks dan and TDR ! 🖤
Always great but this is one of your best!
30:00 blew my mind. Good work Dan
What a bloody banger in the background! I'm stompin to the beat! Edit: First song, rest are good but that first one got me hard
Agreed! I'm trying to search the comments for the band/song name
Amazing as always, both the products and the tutorial!
TDR doing some great work... Interested on the Elliptical plugin 😎😎😎
This should be included in one of those “people are awesome” videos. Incredibly detailed and well thought out plugins explained in the most amazing way. Bravo guys!!!
when I hear this voice, i'm feeling immediately confident ... And smarter at the end 🤓
Tdr + dan is a match made in heaven 😍
Sold. Thanks TDR.
Im a simple man who enjoys some Dan. Great video as usual! Plugins seem cool, gonna give em a spin later today
Dan for breakfast with a side of TDL….tasty education indeed 💪😉👍…. Prism being so generously provided has made seriously consider smashing them piggy banks to get it all ✅ bravo
Ridiculously good!!!
this is like a free college seminar.
TDR, great team!
Dan Worrall the BOSS!
didnt expect to hear dan lmao
nice plugin
Awesome bundle and excelent video. This is no brainer to get.
One thing I would like to ask to TDR is a 30dB range for prism, if possible.
Better for louder tracks in EDM and DnB.
Tokyo dawn labs are amazingly good and useful, this for this insane edition, I’m gonna need to re run this few times😎
"Elliptic" filters should not be called "elliptic" at all, so the confusion about "elliptical" - the correct English adjectival form of the root noun ("elliptic" would be a noun, if there were such a noun among the standard words in this context) - can be helped. We just rename the silly name of the "elliptic filter" to avoid gratuitous butchering of this ground-meat language most of us speak without knowing how it works.
At least we all know something about Tokyo Dawn's plug-ins now, thanks to you and your typically helpful overview.
What an excellent video Dan, thank you! TDR are superb at what they do.
I really wish more developers would add multi unit controls to their plugins for use in Atmos. I realize there are clumsy workarounds but including a master / slave function to control multiple instances would be awesome!
Im not big on Dan as the others but more hype about Prism, this is awesome thanks TDS this is the best meter in his category in the world this is a flawless job !
It's Dan. Must be good.
Re: Eliptical EQ, some popular vinyl pressing plants want the lows mono from 300Hz.
Around 20:25
it's unbelievable how a simple 100hz side filtering improve the sound. It's like it glues all together while making everything brighter and crispier. It makes the drums sound so different, more present and coherent.
Anyway, I've got a question about pre ringing in general, when using linear phase. Let's say I export a mix, on the master bus I have an eq in maximum Linear phase with a HP filtering with a 18db slope and some bells here and there. Will I hear the artifact caused by pre ringing before the first transient of the entire waveform or before every transient of the song, accordingly with the amplitude of each transient? So, for example, before a kick hit the artifact will be more noticeable than before a less loud transient?
I subscriebd cause of Dan W. i like and im using ur PLUGINS TOO!
Dan Worrall🔥
Not hating brotha. Dan Worrall be so passionate about Tokyo Dawn's intelligence you'd think he was giving us a play-by-play of Irina Shayk shooting an SI swimsuit video on a beach in St. Lucia. And then another shoot with her later that day at one of St Lucia's World-class Cacao Spa Retreats before heading to a dinner shoot at one of their World-class Restaurants. Tokyo Dawn intelligence really is real though and not hype. Was just having a little fun. I actually was going to type a little more about St Lucia and their world-class Cacao production paired with idea of Irina but have decided against it.
Wow - very nice - Thanks Dan! - Did i check it: Arbiter works simalar in dynamics like fabq3 dynamics? Thx
Only thing prism is missing is as phase correlation meter. Maybe in a later update they will include one as currently you have to use a separate plugin for it whereas span has one built in so less faff.
After watching this and using Prism once, it has bumped Span (Dan's settings) from my monitor fx chain.
