Don't know why, but after adjusting a global tuning frequency parameter on my synth, some of the keyboard effects started to sound really quacky in a mix. The reason why I had to change the frequency is I had to tune the keyboard to the rest of the instruments in the mix. Anyone know of a plugin that will smooth it out the quackiness without killing the top end ?

this isn't a real post, is it? you've given almost no information; what synth? and is the filter attack slower than the volume attack? or have you considered simply using another sound? if you want useful answers, provide more details...

Short answer: EQ
Right answer: Rebuild the synth patch

Or a dynamic eq. TDR Nova could work. There's a free version available.

Stop using the "Duck Organ" wavetable in MASSIVE

Did you try Reason?

Or use a De-quacker, it should be able to keep your top from coming off, whilst removing the most annoying sound in the world.

Have you ever tried reasoning with a duck? They just don't listen.

Use the same silencer you use on your wife.
If that does the trick, it should able to dequack everything.

Sorry, it's only 32 bit Mac AU, but it's just the thing.

64bit setup? shouldn't be an issue; run 2 of them (32x2=64)...

Plugin to fix 'quacky' sounding synth in a mix ?
