i've got my mix just like i want it.everything has a place. there's even a bit of dynamics. but there's no high end clarity. i'm sure you know what i'm talking about (even though i have no idea how to explain it). it's like breath. any way to get this for free?

Have you tried (very) small boosts around 12-20k?

Crysonic Spectralive is what you need. But it's not free

Well, it'll cost you an email submission.

loveless, i tried all my eq's. i got the results with eq22 (time to re-vote) eq22 is doing more than eq'ing. it's fixing things somehow

melody man, i've tried it before and i just tried it again. i can't find a combination to get what i want

the steven, i asked them for a copy a while back. the reply might have gotten lost in the spam folder. i've just sent another email

thanx all!

I don't think you can get PlParEQ for free anymore.

EQ22 is a fine fine thing. For something a bit different, have a look at Voxengo's OvertoneEQ, too.

ouroboros · Post by **ouroboros** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:02 pm

well for something out of left field:
try a filtered delay line set very very short, ~10ms.
Turn the feedback all the way up (or close)
bandpass the delay result, maybe center on 8k?
this creates an almost pad sound behind your leads (guitar)
?
you can boost or reduce the wet signal to taste.

-edit-
So it doesn't actually clarify things, but if you set the filter high enough, it adds "sparkle"

shamann, i tried that. it was second best for what i want. however, i decided i need to make it my go to eq

ouroboros, it's for a whole mix. it's for.....house

(a man's gotta dance, ya know?). i'll play with the method when it's my turn again at the computer (a lady's gotta blog, ya know?)

thank you both!

Ouroboros, Interesting technique.
I'll have to check it out sometime.

PlParEQ is an excelent EQ, but I was referring to Refined AudioMetric's Class module. It can add a nice 'clarity' to the top end of your mix without making it sound 'effected'. I've tried a number of exciters and its the only one I use. If they're still giving it out, definitely get it.

The CLAS/NR (which is not free) is the same module with additional noise reduction built-in.

Would you really use this on the entire mix?

It's DX only; to use it in a VST host you'd have to use something like FFX4 or Console.

Definitely. But my mastering-sequence is:

1. HarBal
2. Spectralive + GPP (Kjaerhus Peak Pressor)
3. Spectraphy (limiter)

Sounds pretty great to me.
