Slightly OT. Anybody use/like the Fuser?
Cheers,
Geoff

Tried it and bought it. Might just use it for client refs/when there's no mastering budget... but this is handy. Preset selection greatly changes how it reacts so thus far I've been auditioning different suggestions until I find one that still feels like my mix but tidied up down low. I tried one or two of the presets but they seemed a little whack…so I just pulled in one particular song that I think sounds really great on the low end (similar genre)…watched it set the targets, moved them to match and holy shit it was a revelation. |

I actually forgot I had this... Slightly embarrassed. Will dust it off for some more testing thanks to this thread. Are you guys finding it useful with imported ref tracks, or are the built-in preset targets getting good translation and feelings? Thanks! I once posted a thread asking about a plug (Sonnox Inflator) that was on sale. If anyone had used it…was just about to buy press the buy button and noticed…I already owned it. |

After listening to a few YouTube reviews, I'm going to get this - I like that it is dedicated to everything below 320hz. Most likely will experiment with bass eq, and try to replicate it with other software - or just use it if it is better. I can't see using it on the mix bus though - more individual buses like drums and bass - distorted electric guitars. I would prefer to not have it affect vocals (around 300hz) It’s designed for the mixbus I believe. It supposedly “listens” to the whole mix and targets how the human ear would perceive it… |

At the end of the day it is just an eq for the very low end, with level and Q (and I am guessing there is some saturation going on under the hood too) I'm mostly interested in what it does on 180 and below, and wish we could move the EQ bands a little. What happens to 40 / 80 /160? these crossover frequencies are at points that I hope to adjust. Curious about using it together with Arbiter - that way I can get into bands outside of Bassroom with Arbiter, and have much more control, and make them work as a duo. Guessing it may reside on my bass bus (or maybe bus kick and bass together ? )

I used it today on a mix and really liked it.
Used no presets - just adjusted some frequencies until it sounded good.
Bigger tighter bottom end was the result.

I gotta stop buying gimmick plugs, man. (But I'm intrigued what it's doing..)
Honestly the biggest thing that's helped my low end is a judicious cut around 200hz in the bass and kick drum. Nothing there but weird bloom.

You can also adjust the q, I think. I remember a secondary co trol of some kind, I think using the scroll wheel. Maybe I have my mouse set up weird. Adjusting the Q was pretty much the only thing I could do! It's also possible that I was demo-ing this at like 4am, that's been known to happen. Soooo... yeah. Definitely a case of "couldn't figure out the Star Wars cockpit thing at 4am", let's just say it was a good thing I wasn't driving that night. Downloaded this again the interface is extremely easy. Haha. Actually the whole thing is really easy to use. Glad I gave it a second shot. |

I've had both for a while now, I initially tested them in a mastering scenario, I was very surprised. They do something I wouldn't do without them, and fast once you get the feel of it. |

Yeah - I've been blown away by this thing. I wouldn't mix without it now. The key IMO was finding a good reference song.

When I first saw it, I felt it was kind of a gimmick but you guys convinced me to have another look at it. It's also not all that expensive so I grabbed it. Now I just need some free time to learn it.
John, you should setup affiliate links with all the gear you talk about. Might be a way to help pay for your gear addiction. 😁

If it did, that would be a great way to support the site. |

I'd probably start with someone like Sweetwater and ask about the affiliates program. I believe you have to show that you have a captive audience of gear junkies and then they can set you up. I don't know all the details but an awful lot of idiots on YouTube have done it so it can't be that hard. -)
