PLParEQ1?

[nuffink]

@ nuffink
please try the eq
tho' their hearing restoration stuff seems a bit dodgy (at least from the marketing side), this eq employes quite simple principle in a brute force way.
any iir filter can be made phase linear offline by runing audio thru it twice in both directions. phase distortions cancel out then. it seems to me, that they just used that technique by buffering audio, they've dealed with intermodulation by using 8 x overlap and added 2 x oversampling too it. quite simple after you think about it
and useful in certain situations
so who cares about the rest

peace

Oh, I tried it michu. It's crude and unstable.

I'll withdraw at this point. Even if this were the holy grail of plugins I wouldn't be supporting a bunch of Ambulance chasers.

I thought there was a more important point here, but it seems that the fanboys will get their toys at all costs.

I can't take on the whole forum and while I quite enjoy kicking against the pricks, I'm now being attacked by those I thought knew better (eh Sascha?).

[xander]

Right. That's it then. I am going to test this thing out and see what's up. I will do it with a completely open mind, but I will confess now that *something* about this product doesn't seem quite right -- I want to find out what it is.

If it's just the way it's being marketed, then fair enough. But I saw the KVR product announcement, read the hype and it turned me off.

I will give it a fair go & thanks for the free demo.

Cheers,
Alex

nuffink, I usually know you have some points, but I just can't stand those endless threads with personal insultments using absolutely improper communication forms any longer.
Each and everybody trying to have the last word, childish insultments, rude language, etc etc...
And just recently it seems you're doing your best to pour oil into the fire (maybe you've allways been like that, but I just noticed...).
You should know better as well, eh?

Why don't you drama loving folks just save your energies for something more productive or helpful, or, if you just can't resist, take it to HPC?

Oh please Sascha, give it a rest. There was an important point here. Maybe you couldn't see it from that high horse of yours?

d^2 y/dt^2 + rho * dy/dy + k*(1+gamma*<y^2>)*y = eta * F(t)

... anyone out there know a little physics?

I suppose this dy/dy should have been dy/dt . right?

BTW sounds very good to my ears, though I didn't try multiple instances or rendering.

Cheers

About refinedaudiometrics

About Us
We are professional physicists, mathematicians, and scientific programmers. We have very strong backgrounds in signal processing. But we are also musicians, composers, recording engineers, and lovers of sound.

We set out more than six years ago to overcome hearing loss when it was found that there is no such thing for musical sound. People with severe hearing loss might attempt to use hearing aids. We dislike that approach, they don't sound very good, and we aren't alone in that sentiment. We were determined to do much better than that... and we have. We have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.

There are progressive degrees of "perfection". During these past six years we reached successive plateaus of perfection and gained experience supporting clients who needed to recover musical hearing. Along the way we were also cognizant that all of our attempts were but mere approximations to what our equations told us were needed.

Each step to the next plateau represented a quantum leap in the fidelity of our solutions. Our final attempt, the System 5000, represents the ultimate solution to our equations. If you could have enough signal processing horsepower to do the ultimate computations, this is what you would have.

Today we finally have audio equipment that can stand up to this demanding task. It is no longer a dream for us. We have finally implemented the ultimate corrective solution and we want to share it with you.

nuffink, as said before, I usually *do* see your points, but I simply can't find your methods to bring them points home appropriate.

I'd love to indulge you in conversation on this Sascha. Unfortunatly some of the more pompous members would probably consider I was being a troll or a drama queen.

[jmh]

I guess even that would be a change from the current perception...

(Which in no way nothing else than it's definitely hard for most of the participants to find that particular point, what ever it may be. I couldn't really decipher it, but that's just me...)

Sascha Ok, just so you can use that title... I'll wear my audiophile suit for tonight

That goes to you too Fritzman, if such an image helps you getting sleep

Putting the suit on,

JMH

Ok, just had another go:

1. GUI is redicilous.
2. I thought Q slider behaved a bit wired.
3. The real funny fiscovery was that quality slider is a freaking bullshit. What it does is destroying sound in lower "quality" settings and makes eq sound like, say, CurveEQ if slider turned all the way to 5.

Your points have been totally IRRELEVANT to THIS TOPIC. Please read again the topic about 10 times. Maybe you should start a separate topic discussing ambulance chansing and the 'other' plugin. This topic is about the free EQ. Period. How hard can it be to understand that?? You come here and hi-jack the thread and now blame everybody else for being on a high horse? Oh please..

I have really appreciated hearing all the feedback on this EQ. I knew it was good, but you guys in the mixing rooms know sound even better than I do.

There's no doubt about it that the EQ sounds good but the free 1 band plugin IS quite buggy and gives a negative image about the quality of the product. I just downloaded the latest version and I still can't get multiple instances working correctly. It also crashes a lot of hosts in seemingly random circumstances. The bug that causes all sliders to be down when opening the plugin the first time will turn off a lot of newbies as they can get confused to the operation of the EQ. Also that slider called "attenuation" should probably be called output volume and default to 0.

My first impression of your company was very mixed. The primary product seems like it's possible to be done but the way you present it makes it look like a scam. The less than pretty web site and plugin GUIs do not really help the situation. I suggest you hire some graphics designer and some experienced sales rep. to overhaul the website and polish the plugin appearance (you could try to contact my dear friend mr jmh on this forum, he's a graphics designer/web site guru) .
The word 'behringer' and a plugin price of four figures doesn't help the company either as a lot of people simply stop reading at that point and dismiss it as a scam (yes I know you explain it clearly why you suggest getting the behringer mixer for headphone amplification as it is cheap, moderate quality for home use and easy to get nearly every where in the world but unfortunately a lot of people can't seem to read more than a single sentence before passing judgement).

Anyhow, I sincerely thank thee for the freebie as it will be very handy in various applications. Thank you!

Honestly, this is the best eq plug I've heard. Shame it's so buggy.
