I haven't used it.

Thanks for mentioning DeFilter. One of our customers (Brian from Tracks In The Box - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnSIcW ... uP3VseMosw) just sent us a great video that shows how to use it in a very nice way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsKSdA9eu94

Nice video. I have defilter on my list for sure. It looks like a very nice tool to have.

I was asking myself if a real automatic equalizer exists? I have a plugin in mind which keeps analyzing your track while playing and then adapts to the respective position.

Does anyone know anything like that?

To my mind, what you're describing is a Vocoder assuming that you want something that analyzes a sidechain signal for frequency spectrum and applies that to the signal being EQ-ed.

I think Brian covered the basic very well in the video. It's well worth a watch if you didn't already. Definitely more fun than reading manuals...

Best,

How often do Acon Digital products go on sale? I would like to get Defilter and Equalize. Christmas is fast approaching!

not often, i would guess a couple times a year for 30%? Luckily he doesn't go higher than that - i have never seen "silly", "let's totally kill the value of our products" sales.

Also there isn't a transfer fee, just putting that out there cause I know some, including myself, are wary of such things. That said, since I first owned an acon plugin a few years back, i haven't sold a single one. That's scary for me! (also shows how much i love em!)

And a one line, simple, non machine dependant serial number. Basically, everything is done properly in favour of the customer IMO.

Edit, just checked via kvr news, i was pretty close! 2 a year at 25%. Perfect IMO as it's incentive without hurting resale. Last time was April this year than BF last year.. so i would hazard a guess the next sale will be this black friday coming.

Thanks. I was not implying that they were over priced at all, but I've been bitten by paying full price for something that does go on sale several times a year for 50% off. I've learned to wait for the deal.

While it isn't technically on sale right now, you can get DeFilter for $83.69 at Audiodeluxe this weekend in their Labor Day sale.

I did see that. I'm not sure Defilter is what I want yet. I'm testing it and Pro-Q 2 right now. One is twice as much as the other, but it can do what I want. Both are excellent plugins. The Acon EQ is another I may try.

b15fliptop · Post by **b15fliptop** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:27 pm

Pro-Q 2 is a great EQ, for sure, but I hate their implementation of match EQ. Having to load the file you want to match your current track to and run it into the sidechain while they both play back? Who thought that was a good idea? I really like that you can save profiles and quickly load them any time in DeFilter, and DeFilter has the capability to be much more detailed, or not, depending on what you want.

Plus, you have to be very careful that both tracks are the same volume in Pro-Q 2 or you get weird results. I haven't noticed volume having any effect on DeFilter.

clintmartin · Post by **clintmartin** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:01 pm

Yes I noticed the volume thing right off. It is a bit picky.

That looks like an amazing tool. But why doesn't it have a Wet/Dry knob? Apart from the Ephasis Frequency line it could, imo, really benefit from a quick main WetDry.

I'll keep my eye on this!

Automatic-equalizer vst-plugin?
