I'll try it again. Got it. I did not have it "organized". Just went to "All" and then moved to "Favorites".

SplineEQ is a keeper.

EQ certainly has a bigger impact on the sound than a compressor. I think that's why you'll see so many questions about compression... it is not as easy to hear as EQ and the parameters are a good deal more esoteric... also, the effect is generally much less obvious.

It seems to me that more users obsess over their compressors than their EQ... I just don't get it!

This looks good but bizarrely refuses to load in all hosts except Savihost. In Reaper, Minihost, Cantabile Lite it will cause the host to hang in a massive way forcing a process-kill in task manager, but in Savihost it will load instantly and runs perfectly and light.. (XP 32) I don't normally have much issues with plugs so this is exceptional.. What could be the cause?

Seemed to work OK with Ableton Live Intro. As soon as I went to adjust one of the EQ nodes, it locked up Tracktion big time!

Ho ho ho! The spirit of Christmas got to me so I slashed the price of SplineEQ from $39 to $19. Merry Christmas!

I don't know what to tell you, it loads just fine for me with Reaper and Minihost along with the other hosts I've tested.

Glad you glad it to work. I'm afraid that in a lot of cases that people have a problem there's not much I can do...

Oh, their LP10 is pretty good. Now I feel silly for thinking there was no one else in that price range. I wish I had known about that before I released, they just completely fell under my radar when I did my research. That's great, it shows me what I have to do with SplineEQ to be as competitive, so there's definitelty a SplineEQ 2.0 coming with at least L-R/M-S processing and selectable gain range. And that's also behind the price change. I was advised that if I made it as cheap as I originally planned ($19, I wanted something crazy enough and in the impulse buying range) it would make SplineEQ look like there's something wrong with it, and I was even advised not to price it less than $49.

I have the same problem with my music. Most peops that hear it like it but it seems such a chore to market intellectual product!

Yeah, I have very little in the way of marketing ideas, but I told about the CM version idea to the editor of CMM and he likes it.

By the way 3ee your mockup is interesting, I'll consider something like that.

It should work fine/hope it does do for you man

I do not get all het up about any processor or effect, I am far too busy making sure that i get the microphones in the most optimal positions relative to source and taste/preference and which microphone to use for each source relative to what is wanted. Phase obcessed if you prefer

All the best

Another problem with the Trial Demo here.

I can't make it load in FL Studio neither. It shows the typical loading sand watch and it takes ages to load (in fact, never), then FL Studio freezes and i need to close/re-open.

I'm on Windows XP Home. And V'ger in XP Professional. Could it be a matter of operative system? (Instead of daws?)

I would like to give it a try, looks interesting.

Have a good day

Thank you for the generous Xmas offer but I need the plug to work in my apps. I think it needs a bit more work.

I'm trying to download the demo of Tracktion but it's just not happening, nothing is downloading. So maybe your problem is using a product made by people who can't even make sure that their demo can be downloaded

. Kidding, I'll try again later to see if I can download it.

Good theory, I'll try that when I get a XP virtual machine running. There's a lot of possible points of failure here, not just my code but also the framework (WDL/IPlug) that I use which is still work in progress (probably the most likely cause for a plugin not loading since my code doesn't do anything extraordinary when the plugin is loading) and naturally the host. And on top of that the OS it runs on makes things behave differently so you end up having to test every host in every OS variant...

Just today I've had to fix something that happens only in Ableton Live only on Mac OS only with the AU version... and the origin of the problem was that POSIX semaphores don't seem to work on that thing only for a reason I can't figure out yet...

Working great in Sound Forge Audio Studio 10, Acid Music Studio 7.0 and Tracktion. I must have had something else that caused the apps to crash!

This is my new favorite EQ. I'm on my way to purchase now!

Thanks for this.

Seems to work fine with XP (Home, SP3) here. Using MU.LAB.

Ah, now i have read that, i forgot, SP2 here!
I hope you can do something

Have a good day everyone

I'm running with XP Home SP3.

Michael - Thanks for this great EQ. I've been looking and testing for a while now and SplineEQ is perfect for me. This may sound crazy but I intend to use it as a final EQ tweak to my masters before burning.

I have just two suggestions:

1) Eliminate possible confusion for your customers and use different file names for the zipped full and zipped demo versions downloads.

2) Add the dB scale to the right side of the SplineEQ window... just as it is on the left side.

I really like this EQ. Powerful, intuitive with a zero-time learning curve and very ergonomic.

Thank you for that very fast delivery, especially on Xmas!

A_SN · Post by **A_SN** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 3:23 pm

I've uploaded a new build that should fix the crashes in Ableton Live on OS X. Who still has problems that didn't somehow resolve themselves? It's getting hard to keep track.

Cool, I wouldn't mind having a testimonial from you!

http://photosounder.com/splineeq/testimonials.php

I've changed the name of the free version's zip (not really a demo by the way). Why do you want to have a dB scale to the right? It's better to the left anyway because on the right the notches would kind of clash with the minus signs. Plus on the left I need some space between the edge and the visualisation square, whereas on the right I don't need that.

EDIT: Also, how long does it take for KVR to add a plugin to the database? I mailed them all the info 10 days ago.
