Did you see this review of my new mastering service already? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psmol696t9qppJ8.html

@nicolasnicolas3889 Жыл бұрын

Double Stopping, playing two notes at the same time..... Why is it called double stopping? They're called double stops because you are playing two notes at once. On a technical level, a 'stop' is a term for fretting the strings. You are stopping the vibration of the open string with your left hand.

You 're legend, Witze!!! Judging from the reviews, looks like you will stir some s*it up in the mastering business, and some colleagues of yours may get a little angry at you. I'm excited to see how it will all fold out, and wish you nothing less than a storming success in your venture.

Danger good, okay? This technique is used to enhance bass in processes where headroom is at a premium and the same is also done with in the high end of the audio spectrum but they call it something like an "Exciter". I wish I knew how to properly use them and how they affect other upstream and downstream processes.

@geoffallan3804 Жыл бұрын

As soon as I saw this on the SSL site a few hours ago, I installed it (I have the SSL complete subscription). I'm currently working on a song that did indeed have a weak bass, and although there are other ways to add heft to it, this was easy, focused, and sounds great. It was a fast process too. I'm a recent convert to the SSL ecosystem, as I spent a lot of hours on SSL consoles in the late 80s and early 90s. It's infinitely easier for me to dial in a mix using their stuff, but that's mostly from "muscle memory". I strongly advise anyone with ANY experience in the analog console days to try out the SSL stuff.

@zwsh89 8 ай бұрын

I use this thing on bass guitar all the time, the secret is to use narrower bands and search out the most musical frequencies to have it gain up, usually the root note of the key the song is in if that’s possible.

What amazes me about SSL plugins as well is that they are very stable on Mac OS. Even on Ventura.

@rome8180 Жыл бұрын

The only plugins I've found that aren't stable on Mac are the Plugin Alliance stuff. I've been waiting for months for them to update their plugins to work with Ventura. I wouldn't have updated my operating system if I'd known it was going to be an issue. But I needed to update it for other reasons. So now I'm stuck in a situation where Plugin Alliance stuff is an integral part of my workflow, but it crashes my Logic sessions dozens of times a day. Never had a single problem with any other company though. I use all the major ones -- Waves, UAD, Softtube, Soundtoys, Fab Filter, etc.

I also rather to know how things work…so…adding harmonics probably can be achieved by adding a tone at a certain frequency? Most probably with an equaliser, bell and very narrow q, later most probably adding “saturation” in form of any amplifier would do the job. Or…how is it working then?

@MantasticHams Жыл бұрын

Oh there asre definitely sub-harm generators with length controls, I think its needs to be a spectral processor in order to do that? To my ears it sounded like it was lengthening the windows, any window with bass content in it would have bass generated through the entirety of the window, and the plugin (something by melda i think?) ran with lag to allow those windows to line up properly while still allowing for the spectral processing. In other words, I don't think you can get this length control unless you are running with a lag, otherwise the bass would sound late, mushy, and flammy.

Mmm, wondering if it sounds better than Bx Sybsynth which has 3 bands, but failed each time I tried it on a pure bass or acoustic bass sound, adding bad frequencies... I have the feeling this one has the same problems... and if you just want to beef up a kick drum, then well, a fixed frequency does the job, so something such as the basic 50hz Kicker from Reaper would be perfect :)

this plug-in sounds very useful but idk why you'd ever wanna put a sub on a snare like that. however i love it on bass. bass players use octave pedals all the time. not the same thing but lower octaves on bass sound awesome. of course you need to be careful with that but through an amp you're gonna get a roll off so it's no biggie.

Some genres want the snare down almost as low as the kick, lots of different EDM and other electronic stuff, for example. Others that would sound a bit absurd haha
