Hi Aleksey, thanks for including this interesting plugin in the premium membership. It woks very well, however, I have a gfeature request that would make it even more usable. Currently, the plugin adjust to a flat spetrum curve (in fact: a horizontal line), but it would be great to have a target curve editor (and some predefined target curves to select) so that it could work like a dynamic match eq. Maybe, even give the possibility to read spectrums that were saved in CurveEQ as targets.
Cheers, AKJ

Well, I can't reveal all the nuances. Basically, it's just an "analog-like" momentary spectrum estimation.perpetual3 wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:51 am Since you don’t use deep learning, how are you learning the function from input?

I do not find this feature particularly useful or important. You can apply the required EQ profile after TEOTE.AKJ wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 1:52 pm Hi Aleksey, thanks for including this interesting plugin in the premium membership.

Looking closer at the plugin you seem to have integrated something a bit similar with the slope feature, so obviously you found it useful to have some control over the "target". Why not give full control? iZotope's Sculpture is based on predefined targets, letting the user have full control would give your plugin something that other plugins are lacking.Aleksey Vaneev wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:22 pmI do not find this feature particularly useful or important.

Well, TEOTE is multi-band, and is discrete relative to the required EQ profile, may not be precise towards peak required gains. Secondly, TEOTE is not "hard precise" in applying a integrated profile (it is precise only relative to a momentary spectrum). Thirdly, fine-tuning a profile is as time-consuming as using an EQ. There's no real benefit in adding profiles to TEOTE.AKJ wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:29 pmLooking closer at the plugin you seem to have integrated something a bit similar with the slope feature, so obviously you found it useful to have some control over the "target".

Thanks for posting the pics but those some pretty extreme Gullfoss settings that most would not likely use. Are those GF settings what it took to match a Pink Noise reference and then you matched Teote to it??Ploki wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:41 amSlope -3 apparently nudges it towards pink noiseAloysius wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:32 am I haven't had much of a chance to play with this yet, so bear with me please.
When you say: Applications/Contemporary music mastering ... does this mean the plugin follows a pink noise curve or something else? What settings should be used to follow a pink noise curve? Can we create profiles?
here's a quick capture with pink noise as source, feeding Gullfoss and TEOTE with default slope and -3 slope.

i pushed both to the extreme - if you pull down gullfoss it just does less dB of more or less the same.ElevateAudio wrote: Sat Oct 17, 2020 5:56 pmThanks for posting the pics but those some pretty extreme Gullfoss settings that most would not likely use.

Another fantastic Voxengo plugin, I will absolutely be using this regularly from now on. It sounds fantastic. I'm also a Premium member, and this membership keeps paying off again and again. Thank you!

Excellent plugin
I tried this on a drum group to tame resonances in the upper frequency spectrum. The results are great and in comparison to Soothe and DSEQ this plugin doesnt add latency, even in the oversampling modes
Usability is good ... maybe it could be improved with multiple bands and a graphical editor similar to the others i've mentioned.
Im upgrading to premium membership now ... with 8 plugins in my account the upgrade is around 210 € and there were a few other Voxengo plugins on my list, that i always wanted to demo
Excellent work!

Thanks! I got the Premium Membership about 3 years ago, def one of the best computer music purchases I ever made.Aleksey Vaneev wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:03 am Additional payment is not really needed. Premium Membership purchases are a minority, statistically it won't make much of a difference in income.

I compared TEOTE to DSEQ and MSpectralDynamics on the same track and definitely preferred TEOTE so I bought it. I found reducing the number of bands to 10 on TEOTE gave me better results on this track.
Purchasing TEOTE was a little tricky as the credit card company said the vendor requested additional verification. I had to answer a bunch of questions to validate my identity before the credit card company would let the charge go through. This is the first time I've had that happen.
