Let's talk about final mix

[Mr. Tingle]

no dude! costs bout 150. I dont have it. But this studio i work for at times does. I really like. I was saving for it, and then i tried hydrotone today.... now hydro is not as versatile as equim.. but listen to it on those guitars man... listen to it on those guitars....*

*you can't hear the guitars

I can't get Tracktion to scan valve tone, anyone got it to work in Tracktion?

I love the commercialized iced chai latte crap that Starbucks sells. Authentic? Maybe not. But yummy? Indeed! Too bad it's not fair trade.

Starbucks? I'm not sure if you can call that chai.

Nub Chai brewery in Santa Cruz that used to donate free chai to events my friends put on, raves etc. That was great chai.

great chai at underground parties (raves) in Sydney back in the day too...

re valvetone - I seem to remember there being a problem w/pluggo's most reccent release - if I'n not mistaken youj need to back up one version.

valvetone ain't much once you've heard hydration imho tho'

[Mr. Tingle]

personally I'm waiting for angel tone, sounds interesting

i got hold of the pluggo realtime dll that has the bug fixed. The bug being that the GUI would not show up in Tracktion. PM me is u want it.

@Tingle
If T is not scanning ure plug, chek to see wher it's installed and if T is reading that directory. Works fine here.. but im talking hydro.

they dont know how to make chai anywhere else in the world. Trust me. Chai with Cheenee.. thats how it's supposed to be.

I'll agree wholeheartedly that it's not authentic. But it tastes good. Like the Tim Horton's English Toffee "cappuccino". It doesn't even *vaguely* resemble a cappuccino! But it's good. Yumm...

For me the Sonalksis SV eq is a great flexible low load eq - a lot like analog gear - it has a little of a "character" bt its basically transparent. Some neat things: you can drive it hard and it will clip in a kind of solid-state analog sounding way - and it also has a mode where the curves are very broad - expensive (although they offer a 30 day dully functional demo. I am a mac person so can't use Voxengo stuff but have been very impressed when I have gotten a chance to goof around with them and the prices are better.

The equium eq is basically yr stock digital iir filter - thats not bad in itself, but you can get it from a zillion places - its probably not dissimilar (soundwise! the interface is something else!) from Ts built in eq. Hydratone uses convolution. Firium is a phase-linear (fir) filter. Sonalksis is based on circuit-modeling as (i think) is PSP big eq (which is very interesting but a cpu-hog). Its not a bad idea to have one of each as they have very different applications - the fir filter is particularly wierdly transparent - it can make fairly drastic changes without making a "sound". I haven't found a use for it yet - I'm so used to using eq to add or remove "character" - but its neat. There is a free or donation-ware one over at smartelectronix.com if yr interested.

Given the option of purchasing one EQ, under 150. Which one ? Ill shortlist Voxengo Gliss, Voxengo HarmoniEQ, PSP masterQ and the Kjaerhus stuff.. ill try all out now. But i could use an opinion....
