VIDEO - MAutoDynamicEQ resonance removal

[Chandlerhimself]

In this video I'll show how you can use MADEQ to get rid of resonances in a snare drum, but also some tricks to make things easier and more flexible. I hope you find this useful.

There are some great tips in this video that make this even more useful - thanks!

Would be great if the resonances would be removed more intelligent. At the moment it’s using always the same q and volume reduction, but would be great to have it more signal dependent. Now I have to change it everytime manually. That’s really time consuming.

Using this on Drums is much easier than on vocals. Often it sounds unnatural. Would be great to see and hear more examples of different signals.

Thanks

Try the swap gains button

But swap doesn’t change the Q factor or the gain in an intelligent way. It just swaps with the same amount of gain.

Swap, will swap the static gain for dynamic gain. This will then only reduce the resonance when present in the signal. Also Q does not need to be adjusted in any intelligent way as resonances are at a specific frequency so need a very narrow Q only.

What did you mean by "intelligent way"? Is there more you would expect it to do?

[Svama]

You´re right with the small q value.
More intelligent: So it´s more reacting to the incoming signal.

It does react to the incoming signal, dynamically. I think maybe you didn't change the option to use peak filters for resonance removal in the settings like Chandler shows in the video, right?
If you do that first. Then use swap gains. Now you have peak filters reacting dynamically.

So, too me some time, but by intelligent I mean the algorithm should differentiate between permanent and non permanent resonances. For permanent use a static eq and for non permanent a dynamic eq. And this right/best volume reduction, accordingly the Incoming signal.

Dynamics will do this anyway. If a resonance is permanently there, the dynamic detection will permanently detect it and therefore permanently reduce the gain.

[Svama]

And you’re right again. Have to try more. Thanks
