[loopdon]

sorry i might have got you wrong, but you said:

One should never crink aclhocl on mongsday.

after i had deciphered that i thought you meant monday??

but yes, it's tuesday now, at least in this part of the world

[Mirsha]

Lets say it doens't mater as long as the brain is so sloshed thqt rhuesday is equivalnet to a Teusdsdys ayrt, I mean do you kbiow how to convert a nul gragity zero pointin a quatnau eVENTNERT$%? ? TY ?T

PossiblyI may be talking shit. But dio you wabt tyo risk it? Well do you punk?

[MARKEG]

wow

:lol:

ppl say you can't polish a turd, well i believe you can in a strange type of way.

It's true, you can polish a turd.
Just be prepared to get poo all over your hands.

some people pay good money for that...

not me, the others.

Anyway - i like unpolished turds, they stick to the pan better.


As for the distorted top end, you dont really mention what instruments/soudns you have living in that part of the frequency domain... is it part of the percussion or the lead? i guess you could get away with re-insterting some percussion, but if its part of the lead - thats gonna be a bitch...

i liked some of those suggestions, waves x-click/x-noise might help?

Hahaha I want to go out drinking with Mirsha

right i sorted it.

non of the plugins above worked. honestly, sound soap was just not what i was looking for and a bit shitty to be fair, one of those waves x plugs were wicked for digital distortion btw (but not what i needed on this occasion), and as for adobe audition WHAT A LOAD OF PAP. whoever wrote on some forum i found that this was the titties, is in fact, a big tit himself.

at first i thought it was pretty much the whole top end but i slowly figured out in the end the main probs were actually coming from a selection of freqs around about 3-4khz, the real harsh freq band which make you want to hit old grannies. awful area of sound to have to deal with but i shaped the eq around about that point using 2 lots of waves q10 plugins (you wanted to see the damn thing hehehe) and then hard limited the mid-hi freqs with a nice multibander to flatten it all out nicely.

now i'm happy

no seriously like, if anyone knows anything extra about this topic, please feel free to add your own solutions ;)

this plug in is my god send.

though i can't help with extreamly distorted work, you can readjust and play with some psycho-acoustics to cover some minor distortion.

I've actually got Firium on my Mac laptop (which I don't really use for mastering) and it's one of those plugs that I never really used cause I had others that do the same thing. I use Voxengo Curve Eq for immediate satisfaction (or Waves and a spectrum analyser too if I'm off down that route), but I really don't trust anything apart from Waves Q10 for those finiky, miniscule adjustments.

I'm gonna try this Pat, but honestly, if you're into this type of analysing eq, check Voxenngo, I reckon it's really good. Another good standalone is Harbal, but it's not available as VST yet which really pisses me off.

What is it about Firium that you like so much, just so I know???

[Patrick DSP]

low latency, low cpu usage, great sound, uncoloured (i think the voxenngo colours the sound a bit). it's got an eq match (meaning you listen to what you want to sound like, it analizes, then analizes the settings you need to get your new track to fit that old spectragraph curve) and it looks cool in dark blue.

-p.

Hehe, and here I am recommending it for EQ a thread away... :lol:

agreed :lol:

F me PAT...

this Firium is BRILLAINT.

only used it for one day so far, BUT I have to say, I love the whole 'drawing' thing. like just get your cursor and 'whooosh', quickly draw in the eq.

the matching thing though.... well it was totally shite. oh apart from 1 time, when it got it totally spot on, errmmmm then i forgot to save it. grrrr.

no, really into the quickness of the eq drawing. an absolute god send. is there any other plugs out there you know that draw EQ like this????

nice 1 mate.

Sounds like I will have to try it out!

yes, there are some more i know of:

Elevayta FreEq Boy



Features.

Draw EQ curves completely freely using the mouse.
See and hear the audio signal conform in real-time.
"Continuous band" spectrum analyser.
Independent, or linked, left and right channel EQ curves.

There's another plugin that does about the same as firium does, i.e. spectral cloning and painting eq curves. it' is said you shouldn't match 1:1 but more like an approximation. killer plug!


Voxengo Curveeq



Voxengo CurveEQ VST is a professional WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") linear phase spline equalizer. CurveEQ shows you actual filtering information: the filter's frequency response, and both input and output FFT spectrums. You can actually see what the EQ is doing with the sound. This, in turn, allows you to get the best from your mix and your tracks. CurveEQ perfectly suits the needs of mastering, and in some cases CurveEQ is suitable for use as an in-track FX insert. Since CurveEQ is a linear phase equalizer, it offers a very easy tuning experience. This is especially true if you want to get your bass range right.

Besides the aforementioned features, Voxengo CurveEQ implements SpectruMatch spectrum matching technology that allows you to perfectly transfer a spectrum's slope from one recording to another. This allows you to `copy' a frequency balance of existing mixes so that other mixes that are still in the works will sound better. This technology also greatly helps in music disc mastering, since using it allows you to easily lessen any dramatic differences in the area of frequency balance between various tracks.

GearMatch technology allows you to transfer impulse responses of high-end analog audio gear to your digital audio, while allowing you to adjust frequency response freely. This results in a great improvement of sonic qualities. With this technology, all your tracks will sound unbelievably professional and vintage.

CurveEQ has a Vintage Processor which allows you to polish your sounds. Just turn it on and you will get a great deal of presence effect. Also, CurveEQ includes a compressing saturator. When it is enabled, the processed sound gets an additional vintage feel. You can use the saturator to create professional sounding vocal, guitar and bass tracks. In addition, it can be used on almost any audio material, especially during the mastering process as a vintage loudness maximizer.

Voxengo CurveEQ is a great addition to your existing professional plug-ins collection. But if you are just starting with EQ plug-ins, CurveEQ is a great learning tool, too - just see how spectrum gets equalized and compare it to what you hear.
