Is Scaler EQ worth it?
I almost bought it after seeing Jade Starr’s video on it but I saw a couple of others who made it sound like it was at best inessential, and at worst made things worse. How does it compare to HarmonIQ?
Comments
I don’t have it but id say fabfilter is the king of eq, and then toneboosters maybe a good second.
Fabfilter really is all a man needs imho
Scaler EQ is great. 6 band EQ with key detection and harmonic boost/inharmonic removal capabilities. Limiter on input and output channels. The magic shelves let it be very transparent. Has dynamic EQ options, ability to amend stereo width and mono bass. It doesn't do anything automatically for you other than the key detection.
There is no comparison with Harmoniq at all. That automatically analyses your input and cuts frequencies based on that analysis. From my testing it was terrible - analysis would yield different results from the same input. It was happy to completely cut on key notes and was unreliable in detection.
Broadly the difference is ScalarEQ makes things more in tune by carving out specific non harmonic (scale) frequencies, and HarmonIQ removes the inharmonicity from recorded environments like room acoustics.
At least that’s what I understand. Do they function similarly? sort of yes. Do they give the same results? Maybe yes. Not to knock either dev but these are the kind of specialty tools that are very specific and niche.
In summary scalarEQ can do creative things like tune noise. HarmonIQ tunes spaces and “some” sound interactions.
Are they worth it? If you aren’t a mastering pro, not likely your best investment. Just my opinion. YMMV. And could be wrong ;P
Sadly FabFilter is iPad only
Well crapatastic. I've been diving into eq and compression for beatboxing over the past few weeks. I cannot wrap my head around those aspects without the visual element (personal hurdle, been trying... Getting headaches)
So first 4pockets hit my wishlist. Then fabfilter hit my ethos and was like 'cool, bigger than I need but probably will need in the future' so added them...
Now you're throwing TBs offerings out, so now THEYRE on the discount watchlist (...or wait. is that the website for cheaper perverts? 🤣🤣)
Now you've confirmed fabfilter IS worth it, and I'll have to make a few sacrifices to the discount gods that a sale happens sooner rather than later xD (aiming for fabfilter, but have the others in case a discount makes em worth it in the meantime)
And yes, I did see the poor poor timing via appraven. Probably started looking around dec 10th, within a couple of days FabFilter smacks me in the face... And appraven shows me the sale ended on Dec 4th
🤦
Ok, the 'craptastic' statement was sarcastic towards having more to keep an eye on (probably want to spend money on at some point) xD
Thank you for the input and giving me another option to watch!
KNOWLEGE IS POWER!
I use Scaler EQ. I agree with the above that it is a bit niche use. But it does work really well. I use it for specific tracks that have some untamed sounds that I want to pull into the key of the song. I don't use it on the master channels.
