I agree with the usefulness and specialness, but to me precision tool means I know exactly what the plugin does and have very precise control over it. With this one I'm not sure what it actually does and I can't use it linearly and expect it to behave the same every instance. Don't take me wrong, I love plugins that have only few knobs and sound this great, just that I can't call it a precision tool per se.

I now have both, and on a quick comparaison, I think that Gullfoss is doing a better job (to my taste) for a whole mix but for single tracks, Equalizer is superb, a really nice plugin to have in our tool box! ;)

Or maybe it is closer to the Baby Audio Smooth Operator ...

@@pasc1977for “a” whole mix!! Not “an” whole mix!! That makes no damn sense.

@@ridinglow6732 Sorry for the bad typing, thanks for the correction!

Wow! Thank you so much!

Yeah but pro Q-3 has a better better workflow and UI, and Shade is far more unique/groundbreaking

​@@LunaRealized Of course, each person is entitled to use the tools they are most comfortable with. I've used Pro-Q for a long time and, to me, there's room for both tools. You certainly can accomplish the same task with other EQs but this does 90% of the work and saves lots of time spent doing surgical EQing. The less time I have to spend chasing down a troubling frequency = the more locked into the creative process I am. It's great that you already have a workflow you enjoy, though!

@@natecornell-official761 I totally agree

Not to take anything away from this plugin, it’s awesome and quite unique but it’s not the first of its kind. Gollfoss EQ has been out for a few years now and has the same function but the target EQ is more curved like a song than aiming for flat. It’s a great plugin but also costs twice as much as Equalizer. I went with Equalizer and am very happy with it. Trackspacer is also amazing, definitely check that one out too if you haven’t already

You mean copy Ceilings of Sound Hyper Pro Eq

You should be able to achieve all of these yourself by applying an EQ curve before this plug-in and then the inverse curve after the plug-in, since it’s by default trying to make all frequencies equal (which is the definition of white noise)

I see your point however TEOTE, even if it has the same price, is completely incomprehensible for noobs such as myself, while Gullfoss has a very high price. This seems like the best of both worlds and very affordable even for bedroom producers.

A little yes but nothing like it 😁

ThirtyOne by Hornet is amazing however I think it's a different technology and gives very different results. And for 6 euro, ThirtyOne is a bargain. I think one can simply use both.

my thoughts exactly

No, Soothe suppresses the resonances and it's like a thousand band or something ridiculous like that. Gulfoss confines the music to a curve that is proven to translate well on good speakers. This is 32 band upward and downward expander that tries to minimize the difference across the frequency spectrum. Not confining to any specific curve and not removing any resonances.

@@adithyasatheesh127 This is a good description.

@@adithyasatheesh127 Thank you, i understand a bit better now. Whats your opinion on this plugin? you seem to know a lot about it ;)

@@tendingtropic7778 I can't speak for you. It would depend on what you want the track to sound like. If removing resonances or confining it to a curve is your intention, this wouldn't do it. If the effect of flattening the curve is what you are looking for or plan to do something else after flattening the curve, this is a good option I'd say. It makes the process easier with having to tweak just one knob rather than having to set up a Multiband eq or compressor and tweak or the settings manually.. I'd use it on an overly bright or dull or honky sound to essentially inverse eq it and then eq it the way I want after.

No phase issues :) Try mixing the dry and wet signal using the Mix parameter or just load it in one of two identical tracks and you won't hear any weird cancellations.

@@wavesfactory Well I bought it... I'm very happy with it!

Thanks for your message! The intro price ends August, 1st.

Watch the video till the end :)

it does have that feature

This is my primary question as well! How does it improve a mix to level the different tracks in this way. It reduces their character and makes them all occupy similar parts of the spectrum.

This prepares your tracks in order to be mixed later. It will take away a lot of repetitive tasks but it will not mix your song automatically. It will get your tracks ready to be mixed. And the mixing process will be much simpler later and you will get much better results in much less time.

This plugin, on its conception, wasn't designed to match any noise spectrum or predefined EQ curve. Or at least, that wasn't my intention. Meaning that the algorithm behind it is not saying "here's the curve I want, here's the curve I have, let's calculate the difference and apply it". The algorithm that drives Equalizer doesn't rely on anything external. It only uses the incoming signal itself to figure out what is needed and what needs to be cut. Having said that, I did find out that the corrections the plugin performs do resemble the pink noise spectrum. And I think that was a happy accident. Pink noise can be found in nature and it's a very pleasant sound. I think that's one of the key features of Equalizer as it makes your tracks sound more organic, balanced and natural.

@@wavesfactory Thanks for your work. Would be helpful if you could just say *how* it determines by how much to correct each freq band. What is the algorithm? I mean it's not literally trying to make all bands the same volume, is it?

@@000aleph that's the secret sauce. I'm sorry but I can't reveal all my secrets. I can tell you that indeed it's trying to make all bands have the same volume.

That's why it would be handy to have an external sidechain functionality.

and non-threshold dependant too, unless I missed something. It basically evens out the whole spectrum so this is something that's not possible with a multiband compressor or dynamic eq

@AlonsoUrmeneta interesting, to be honest, I didn't watch the whole video but will now :)

It analyses the whole frequency range all the time. It's only the second stage that's changed.
