SPOT ON!

Yeah; fair enough :)

Nice share!!

It's a free graph which I show people how I built in an explainer video; it's a pretty useful tool in my arsenal

Noted! Keep smashing me on that, legit; I need accountability on these vids! Sometimes I get lazy on the edits because I have 1 million things going on; no excuse; so sorry for that!

@@panorama_mastering Wow i admire your integrity! I shall

No opinion on them yet; haven't used either! RE: ProL... I haven't experiences that; how much oversampling are you using?

@@panorama_mastering from 2x to 4x Rarely go over 4, most of the time in trying to keep oversampling off... It might be my fault on one side as I like the sound of the algorithms I tend to use it as mixing clipper/saturator instead of going with some "friendlier" option. Newfangled Saturate for example also feels ultra heavy for clipper/saturator compared to Kclip and Freeclip. But I like the sound. Sorry it's not that I'm complaining or anything... Just thinking out loud 😅

No worries my pleasure! Added to my "Maybe" list!

No sweat; that's a worthwhile video doing :) I add metadata to tracks in Hofa-DDP!

Keep your eyes peeled; I have a video I'm producing at the moment that puts these two plugins both in the firing line;

FWIW, I have both Kotelnikov GE and Unisum. Kotelnikov is still my go to, Unisum does some really great things but I've only had it 6 months and I'm still learning (it has made it onto a few masters using modified presets in that time). The big thing that jumps out at me while using both, where Unisum really outdoes Kotelnikov is the ability to more or less crossfade between different ratios and attack/release settings. Kotelnikov has 2 release settings, and you can do a few smoothly variable frequency dependent ratio presets in the paid version, but Unisum gives you more control over all of that, and then gives you attack settings and envelope shapes as well. Also, Unisum's detection circuit is multiple discrete bands while Kotelnikov, even with frequency dependent ratios, is broadband with just a filtered sidechain. I think that's the biggest differences. As for how that manifests in my work, the jury is still out.

EVERYONE IS ASKING!.... ok. I'll look into it;

Bang on!

@@panorama_mastering if you have the cpu for it slapping an instance of gullfoss in between also sounds great. I realize it's an "eq" and you usually stick those after but there's something really nice about treating it like a dynamic processor and sticking in between those two

Bang on; same; I'd used the VSC-2 as an intern; and bang on it's close; but just not versatile in comparison to other digital options;

I will do more in the future ;)

Check this out!! Ozone Maximizer IRC mode, the Reason Why It Sounds BETTER Than Other Mastering Limiters?🙂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9-paZVqnt-7m3U.html

This is all extremely subjective and I suggest you try what works for you. I own the DS1 MK3 and it is my go to limiter for mastering, but I'd be lying if I said it is life-changing. I also own the Maximizer (within the Ozone Suite) that for him is life-changing and that I only used in my first years. I don't believe you need to spend any money in order to get great results. I'm mainly a producer and although I own many very good, expensive and much praised plugins: I find myself using ableton stock more and more. Do I use the Weiss MM1? In mastering occasionally, yes. It's best applied subtly in my opinion. But if you still have important things to invest in, like: Monitors, room-treatment, studio desk, better chair, etc. - don't waste your money on plugins. I know you probably still will, we all did and all do. But there is no life-changing plugin. There are life-changing workspace situations and life-changing experiences and skills. I know you didn't ask for this comment, but I felt like sharing! Enjoy your week!

@akagerhard - GREAT ADVICE!

Maybe in the future I'll make a video on it!!!

No idea; I've had a dozen requests to look at this plugin;

I enjoyed using their smart-comp; but have never used it properly across many sessions;

Bang on; can't believe I let that one slide!!!

Good question; no. The IRC algorithm is unique and patented by iZotope so it can only be found in the maximizer; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9-paZVqnt-7m3U.html

thx :) @@panorama_mastering

You're not the first person to ask I"m going to flag this on my idea list!

Me too! Now... to find the time to go through it top to bottom... who has an extra few hours in a day they can share with me? ;)

he's got a vid with math equations you should know or something like that in the title, you should see it down the list

Those equations are outdated; sorry; Two equations make-up the latest calculations; Implimenting the discharge and charge times of e against the length of the waveform; I'll have to make a new video on it... sorry :P

@@panorama_mastering please do

Thanks 🔥

Noted!

@@panorama_mastering 😉

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

Stupid good or stupid bad?

Worse. Don't get me wrong ozone maximizer sounds good, but newfangled elevate distorts way less when you push it. I feel its easier to get the algorithm to do what you want to so its easer to get a good sound.

Wax cylinders only?

@@panorama_mastering Tax cylinders
