ToneBoosters E.Q.4

[aMUSEd]

I think the meters colour is the smallest problem with eq v4.
These are my points:
-a better preset manager. A good example is meldaproduction.
-In- and Outputmetering for better gainstaging and abing.
-External spectrum visualization from any other TB eq v4 instance, including collision detection
Tb eq v4 frequency grid

Better email Jeroen. He reads all the emails.

Melda is not the best example, at least TB plugin presets use a VST2 standard preset format which is the most compatible with hosts, and that shares preset info with the host so when you load one in a track it reports the preset name to the host and in good hosts you can also load the whole plugin list directly (eg in Bitwig they show in the browser, in Kore I can even import presets into Kore's database).

Melda does nothing of the sort, its presets are completely invisible to hosts, in a proprietary format only Melda plugins can read, and loading presets involves extra clicks.

If I use Toneboosters EQ 4 with the no latency switch turned on, it shows 0/128 spls in the fx window and REAPER's performance meter shows a PDC of 128.

Even with No Latency set EQ 4 is forcing plugin delay compensation

I'm not sure about that, but doesn't 0/128 mean that there's 128 spl delay for all other plugins in the chain and zero for the current?

Basically yes, but it depends. If you had set your interface to a buffersize of 64samples within Reaper and would use one or more plugins in that sam project which together had at least 65samples of latency and a maximum of of 128samples, it would show 128samples as well. Next would be 192, 256, 320 and so forth, all depending on your buffer-settings and the combined total latency of the plugins used.

Pipeline is completely mistaken though anyway, which is odd, considering with experience and history with Reaper.

[Pipelineaudio]

I'm not mistaken, both Joren and Justin have confirmed

[jens]

Perhaps I misunderstood you then - 0/128 certainly means the plugin in question has zero samples of latency rather than 128samples and if that's not what you meant I'm sorry as I didn't get it then...

it's Jeroen b.t.w.

Would be nice to get the spectrum analyzer speed and modes of v 3.
Proportional q and lasso would also be nice.

[Svama]

Someone compared FabFilter Pro-Q 3 and Tb v4 in the higher frequency behaviour?

For what should I use the hosts plugin list if I have much better preset manager inside the plugin. I’m using just VST3.

Melda does nothing of the sort, its presets are completely invisible to hosts, in a proprietary format only Melda plugins can read, and loading presets involves extra clicks.

Preset management of Melda is massive.

So Jaroen posted screenshots of a soon-to-be-released update that makes significant changes to EQ4's UI. The floating window is quite a bit smaller now which is nice. I'll have to test the new version when it comes out to see if it's an improvement on EQ 3 UI-wise because it's been several steps backwards since V4 launched, IMO.

Where did he posted the screenshots? Thanks.

Have noticed theres times when I click on a low shelf or high shelf, and it’ll reset to 0db. For instance, I’ll move the gain, go to a different band, move that one, then go back to shelf to adjust and it resets to 0. Anyone come across this problem?

[Svama]

Right click is bypass, but don’t run in these problems of resetting by left click. VST3!

Ill play closer attention to this. Have a new trackball setup and it might be the culprit. Will update after I pay closer attention. Love this EQ tho! Part of my master chain

[imrae]

Looks like band modes will be grouped by type which is a good move. That long list isn't really working for me.
