@McD its currently eq after compressor.
@LinearLineman Experiment.
Sure it does! But how to explain this, there are 70 different fx here! Yeah, just start experimenting. For example, try reverb before delay, delay before reverb and compare the difference. Now add distortion and again play with the order. Note the differences and analyse them, think about what causes the differences in how these various setups sound. it's very enjoyable and educational to spend time doing this.
Thanks. I know you've been trying to get a channel strip with this feature for a long time.
It looks like I can easily test the 2 options and get a sense of how it impacts various inputs
like Bass, Drums, etc. To EQ before or after Compression with 3 modules and using the ON/OFF
buttons along the top of the Rack... and see if Pre and Post EQ is yet again somehow different.
This app is offers a world of options to investigate, learn or discover the tricks of studio masters.
If you discover a trick and didn't know it was a know signal flow you still get 1/2 credit for the initiative
and perception of something useful.
@stormbeats, Mostly I can’t hear shit with compressors. My biggest problem. Lol.
@ikmultimedia Not sure if already mentioned but not getting any Drive with Multi Filter anyone else?
No worries.
@LinearLineman briefly: if you EQ something before compression the result will be that the compressor will react on where you push and pull the frequency that you tweak on the EQ. If you compress before the EQ the resulting EQ move will be more pronounced. Easiest way to feel/hear the difference is to maybe pick the EQ PG EQ module and the white 2A. Place the EQ module 1st, the 2A second. Set the output/ compression balance on the white 2A so that the input meter and the output meter are about the same. Best to keep the incoming signal under half for the nature of this test. Then play with the EQ bands one at a time in the PG EQ by pushing them to the right and left. You will hear how the sound changes and notice how the level meter looks on the output when you do this. Now move the EQ module after the white 2A and notice what happens when you do the same thing. It is common practice to EQ and then compress. A lot of the time another EQ might be placed after the compressor in order to maybe brighten things up again or some other change. It's more about gentle/ small tweaks rather than huge adjustments unless you're looking to create something specific in the name of art.
Hopefully that makes some sense.
Thanks @arktek, that sounds very interesting. I’ll give it a try.
Cool. Let me know if you need any further directions with this. Happy to help. That was a bit of blurb.
Blurb or otherwise this is a good and generous post, thanks
@JohnnyGoodyear all too easy. The fingers can get carried away.
@LinearLineman one further pointer. When you set up the compressor for level play with the gain reduction so that the input signal is pushing about 1 to 2 db of compression. You'll see the meter on the plugin move a little. This is a good place to start for your test.
These are the kinds of “tests for myself” that I’ve wanted for years on audio topics.
It would be great video material, too, assuming the audio quality would be good enough.
@audiobussy seems like this might be a popular little topic. There might already be a few vids out there. Anything specific you want to get into?
Guitarist speaking here but probably the biggest fun you can have with effects chaining is throwing out the supposed rulebook, for example reverb before dirt creates an utterly glorious mess, or placing tremolo in between delay and reverb at the end of your chain is awesome as it adds trem to the delay trails but doesn’t colour the reverb and you retain the trem’s definition. Chorus before dirt rules too!
Absolutely, screw the rules, as you say, reverb before saturation / distortion etc can be soo damn tasty
There are some very nice FX in this box and adding them doesn't degrade the signal... it adds and as you define a 6-8 FX rack you just keep discovering extra richness and you can also turn FX on/off up/down really easily. When you get something interesting you save it or save the AUM project and you'll get it back easily.
Now since it's AUv3 you can rack before something like your favorite guitar Sim app and rack after it too. Now eventually you'll run out of CPU but these implementations are more efficient than my usual chain of AUM FX... and by a lot!
Grab it at $40 because they now know they have a real game changer and will expect new customers to pay accordingly. It going to $80 but when?
I will fall off this fence this time... I know it
I know it seems controlling but over the course of 30-40 years a good partner can help you
save a lot of money and maybe even invest it in a solid mutual fund. So, in 40 years these apps will just be memories but a penny saved will become a more valuable coin. Google compound interest and then see if you can apply it to a Mozaic MIDI script. You'll save a lot of money writing your own "apps".
(OK... while she's not looking... check your credit cards for any "cash back" funds... you can buy iTunes eGift cards on Amazon using credit funds. Amazon also has a credit card that can accrue $'s).
Amex seems like the kind of card that would have paybacks.
Not to add fuel to the fire here but the Barclaycard with Apple Rewards gives you 3 points for every $1 spent on Apple products, including the App Store. 2500 points is a $25 gift card either to the Apple Store or to the App Store. So app purchases potentially fund future app purchases. At least that’s what I tell myself.
Adding an iTunes card at the service station when filling up is definitely something I have never done or would recommend for money laundering purposes.
Great... this is taking on the face of a conspiracy.
Here’s one idea, for me: what does aliasing sound like on synths. Several examples. Perhaps with one that can go from aliasing to non with over sampling
Here’s another: what do bad effects sound like versus excellent effects — chorus, reverb etc.
Similarly, using THU has been an education in classic amps. In the past, I knew I loved the Fender sound, but wouldn’t have been able to tell you which exact model and why.
@audiobussy I think most of these things have been covered well already by others in YouTube vids....e.g here is one I found in a quick 30 second search on aliasing in synth sounds. Pretty reasonable example.
Re. what do bad effects sound like versus excellent effects
I suggest Dan Worrall's excellent series of videos: What's wrong with stock plugins?
Both excellent recommendations! Thank you
This was very interesting. In the blind tests I picked ProQ3 2 times and ReaEQ once....... that’s a great channel. Thanks!!!!
Win a code! See details pinned below my YouTube video. MixBox is too deep to do a tutorial in one video, so here I run through a lot of presets with a lot of different instruments and vocals to give you a good idea what the app is or isn’t capable of.
Has anyone tried running this in Drambo? Is it working ok?
yes, it works great
