This is on sale for $99 right now. Been demoing it for the past couple of days and absolutely love it. Excellent implementation of of a different approach to compression. www.proaudiodsp.com/products/dsm/ |

Hi henge,
is this something like the spectrum learning eq plug steinberg once had "autofilter", just as a "infinitesimal multiband compressor"? Or does it have a limited no. of bands?
Does it just set the threshold for the "bands" according to the captured curve?
Sorry, i cannot really get the picture from the description, maybe you can explain since you worked with it already?
BR,
Martin

BR, Martin After using it more this morning I can say it's now indispensable! Ok so what it does is takes a snapshot of any source material you give it and then compresses the frequency of that source material to what ever you want. It's like a multiband comp with an infinite amount of bands. Example for de essing. Find a part in your vocal track where there are no esses ( which is most of the track ) and capture it ( yellow curve ). It can be a very small snippet or a long one but for these purposes capture 2 seconds. Now when an ess pops up the frequency content of the vocal track ( red curve ) will be different than what you captured. Now work the compressor controls like a real compressor. Lower the threshold so that when an ess pops up the yellow curve touches it and imposes the non ess frequency spectrum on the ess. set attack etc. to yor liking. I found that was the best example for me to wrap my mind around it, but once I got it made total sense. Powerful sculpting tool. Does that make any sense Let me know if I can help. I'm also still learning it. It's new and different for so many applications. Used on the 2 buss this morning with a tape softening curve and it sounded great!! |

Ah,
yeah, thanks, that makes sense to me. It was kind of what i expected, the de-essing example makes it clearer.
I am quite interested in these things...from time to time i am (hobbyist) working on designing vst plugins myself, so i am always curious about new concepts...

How it's different from a fingerprint eq is that the compression is taking place in all bands dynamically. So if the signal falls below the threshold it doesn't get touched.

Yeah, that is cool, and it makes it sounding less obvious and artificial, right?
Fingerprinting/auto-eq does not sound very good to my ears, the compression idea is much better for sure.
I experimented with parametrical multiband limiting for a while, much much less obvious and more natural than simple compression or eq-ing....

Exactly, sounds more natural less processed.
