I find this amazing. The price is so freakin cheap for what you get. I don't understand why more people wouldn't got his route.

Sorry, but we as a vendor do not ask anything more than the email and the name of the customer. Anything else on top of that probably originates from 2checkout's anti-fraud algorithms. 2checkout wasn't problematic for the past 14 years to us.

No harm done. Great job on the plugin!

After some extensive demoing i've decided to wait for an update, to see if the attack behaviour gets any better. I hope it gets improved, following this with interest.

Is there any way to enable hardware acceleration (OpenGL)?

UI does not take much CPU anyway, it's audio processing which takes a lot of CPU, it's not designed for video cards.

I demoed and purchased it today. It’s for sure worth the introduction price.

I’ve read the manual twice and tried it on vocals, bass and mix bus. It is surprisingly subtle and I wish I could over exaggerate the settings to hear more clearly what it does in an extreme manner.

Would it make sense to add an output difference knob (in - out, in + out phase reversed), or an 200% FX extreme Position?

Since the spectral profile had been mentioned before and the noise input had been tried out: Would it make sense to put in a „Listen“ function, that outputs the spectral profile with the current settings as white-pink-ish noise?

On the other hand, there is something about the mastering knob, that seems to make the output more „3D“ even on individual tracks like vocals. I need to have a closer listen to this, because it doesn’t seem to be related to more gentle dynamics or 3/4 FX. I‘m using BBE sonic maximizer, maybe there is something in combination with it and phase dependent.

Is this comparable to DSEQ though, it’s more comparable to Gulfoss surely?
DSEQ is only subtractive I believe.

I own both Gulfoss and DSEQ and use them regularly, what would TEOTE give me that they don't cover?

How’s the latency and cpu usage?

zero latency.
CPU is very dependent on how much bands you use.

This is a super-multi-band dynamics processor.
DSEQ and Gullfoss are dynamic EQs.

Main difference is phase. TEOTE has VERY slight, but CONSTANT phase distortion from crossovers.
Gullfoss/DSEQ both have phase corresponding with gain adjustment, like any other conventional EQ works.
In my opinion, TEOTE is much better with transients for one.

I'm playing with both Gullfoss and TEOTE with my Microfreak just now. Overall I think I'd give the slight edge to TEOTE. A few times I found Gullfoss seemed a little better, though it's possible that just tweaking TEOTE would have evened the score

Both of them mostly feel like they "just work." Gullfoss often seems to hype the high end and I usually put a post-EQ after it to take care of that, if just tweaking the bias doesn't get me where I want. TEOTE has post-EQ built in as well as the range filtering option.

[EDIT: now that read the manual, it's not post-EQ on TEOTE, it's filtering the target profile. Which I guess is similar to the Bias and Brightness controls in Gullfoss except it feels a lot more straightforward.]

Gullfoss doesn't do anything with dynamics, I think. TEOTE seems to be subtle and sometimes helpful in that area.

I haven't tried TEOTE yet with something with serious harsh resonances. But both plugins were good at cleaning up some over-busy FM pads that were crowded in the mids.

I owned Gullfoss, now I'm buying TEOTE and keeping both.

I just got an additional 11% off flash sale when I put it in my basket. Couldn't resist... BOUGHT.

Be sure to try it on voice!

Have been reading a lot about this one since I was very interested in Gullfoss. After watching this I ended up going for it. It's under $60 on JRR right now, so it was kind of a no-brainer. Gullfoss will never get that low lol. Looking forward to using this on my current project

Ploki · Post by **Ploki** » Fri Oct 23, 2020 3:02 pm

If i had to pick one it would be TEOTE, no dillema.

TEOTE is more musical and imo much better for non-surgical strokes, and i prefer TEOTE on submixes/master buses.
On single tracks with sharp resonances, specially if they're not very dynamic and transienty, i still sometimes keep gullfoss instead. Soothe2 is even more surgical in that manner.

And whenever i'm boosting, it's teote. I never boost with gullfoss.

edit also, i don't think it's a gullfoss clone.
