I was planning on buying EQuick as my go to eq, but now I'm wondering if MDynamicEQ would sound just as good, have more options and save me some cash. The only obvious downside is the limited number of bands in MDynamicEQ, but I don't think that's really going to be an issue for me.

(IMHO)
I don't have EQuick and i'm thinking of buying it too - i like buying EQs

- but for 75€ you can buy DDMF LP10, IIEQPro and MeldaProduction MDynamicEQ (which would be 85$ total while the DynamicEQ is on introduction price). Which would cover all your EQing needs.
(/IMHO)

I've been working with MAutoDynamicEQ after purchasing a few days ago. Really stunning, powerful, and transparent (because I set it that way) for my stereo remastering.

A couple of points though. bmanic already mentioned this and we have a default (logarithmic mode) to choose. In my own laymans terms logarithmic mode = high sensitivity. Somehow I forgot this and I started creating filters in the default (linear) mode which to my way of thinking is very low sensitivity. I spent some time thinking - gee nothing much is going on until I remembered the earlier post. Setting logarithmic mode on the filters I returned to jawdrop mode.

Also - my eyes can't really pick up the filter type so easily. There are 3 different peaking filters. Is there a configuration setting that I could change to make the current filter appear brighter or more obvious when I open up the band settings?

Thanks for all the features and improvements and considerations for input from the KVR community. This plugin is simply aswesome, I posted earlier of few of the respected plugs I already use, MAutoDynamicEQ is really amazing even among them.

A fine job!

thank you! I'm afraid the checkboxes in the installer cannot be added, hard to explain, technical problem. Take it as a reason to upgrade to MTotalBundle

Haha ... make me an offer

MeldaProduction wrote:Btw. in the new version you can not only store default size and settings for each plugin, but the dynamic eqs also store state of the collapsed panels (I mean autoeq, bands).

Good news !
Would be great to have that in all plugins, especially in MMultiBandConvolution, as well !
( I think it was there and vanished in 5.0.3 ?! )

MeldaProduction wrote:The modulators and multiparameters cannot be hidden. But they are quite small, you think it's necessary??

Well, here ( 2x 24" LCDs at slightly reduced resolution ) I need to go to 120% size
to have the fonts in good size. I.e. the modulators area is quite big.
I never use the modulators and I'm kind of allergic against wasted pixels
( Cubase' 'improved' info line is a catastrophe in this regard

).

Maybe not a big issue for others ...

Just demoed MAutoDynamicEQ and like it a lot - a good/better alternative to the Sonalksis Dynamic EQ/Compander which I've been using so far and way more surgical and creative, if needed.

It never was there, but now it's in all plugins

. Just get the latest update

I'll check, but honestly I don't think it's gonna work. To do that, there would need to be some other "button" or something, which means more crowded GUI and were are at the limit I think

. And I'd say most people don't care.

Btw. be grateful for Cubase! For example Logic has a reaaaallly big 2 lines on the top plus title

(at least Logic 9 does), most of other hosts do as well, and I'm rather not talking about ProTools...

Understand but here's the problem - in logarithmic you cannot use minimum threshold, which means you have to deal with one more parameter. There is the "squared" mode, which is a compromise between linear and logarithmic, but I'd still prefer linear, because making it subtle at first is usually than make it unnecessarily aggressive.
Anyway now you can store the default settings

. Btw. there is a preset with all bands in other modes.

Is this about the "selected button not being obvious enough"? Yes, I noticed that too. You can try different styles (see Settings/Style). But I'll add it to to-do list, just to see if there would be a better way.

Well, maybe an additional option under settings or style ...
But yes , the modulators are not taking that much space.
The Easy Buttons in MDynamicEQ are pretty big, though.
Any chance to get those shrinked a bit ?

Using MDynamicEQ is really fun !
IQ-Eq is still great for fast fixing, while MDynamicEQ offers more features,
can be tweaked much deeper and has a way better analyzer !
All that for 20,- EUR ... I would call that a no-brainer !

Yes - that's exactly what I mean, it seems a very small detail compared to everything else the plugin does, thank you!

Thanks Jan!
What you mean by "easy buttons"??

Is it possible to enter the exact frequencies for the HP and LP? Also, can we adjust the q of them? (MDynamicEQ)

Sorry if i've missed them, just wanted to ask

I'm afraid it's not possible. But you can zoom in the graph (mouse wheel, alt + drag, scrollbars...). Q is not available as well as the LP/HP filters are well tuned to be nonresonant.

No problem, just wondered if i'm missing them. Thanks for the quick response btw

Oooops ... guess it was a bit late ...
But it shows, that while working with the plugin, I don't really look at these areas
... and would much prefer, to see one or two more tracks of my arrangement ...

I meant the 'Multiparameter' boxes ( which I won't use, either ).
Looking closer, there's not much room for shrinking, though.
So it would be another wish for a 'show/hide' option in settings.

Aaha, Jan, anyway I'm afraid I just have to say no to this. They are way more useful, so complicating the GUI with some hide/show options is just too much. Sorry.

Ok folks, another update, this time very small, is available. It basically improves the highlighting and a few other things. The main reason was that it was crashing on surround in some hosts. For change list check:

meldaproduction.com/mautodynamiceq/?page=changes

It's not needed, just if you like updates or have troubles

.

MDynamicEq and MAutoDynamicEq released with riddiculous introductory prices! - LAST CHANCE!
