Eventide Split EQ

Haha, I almost didn't share it because I know people have lots of feelings about him, but his reaction to this one is not his usual shtick so I thought it was interesting.

The kid claims to be a professional mastering engineer. So despite being loud and annoying, he must have deep technical knowledge and experience.

Didn't he only learn about aliasing in the last year or two?

(Not to downplay the value of practical experience, but I think the technical knowledge might have some gaps.)

I just gave it a shot on a shrill sounding, close mic'd (mono) acoustic guitar I had done some years back. The pick attack always drove me nuts. Loaded up the "Shrill Acoustic" preset, it cuts the transients at around 5k, adjusted the frequencies and depth to taste, and I got a really good result. The recording is much warmer and less harsh, but it's not completely dark either. It's similar to de-essing but more effective in this case.

This particular guitar recording has been my go to for testing any kind of warming, de-harshing, de-resonanting type of plugins.

I do believe I'll be buying this. I can see this getting used on drums and guitars a lot here.

Do you have spiff? Sounds like a job for spiff. Wonder how it fares against it.

@vurt:
Guess so, but a good demo would probably be more inviting

There's quite a few demos showcasing the different mix uses that you can find on Youtube. I would suggest trying out the free 30 day demo and seeing what it can bring to one of your mixes.

In terms of pricing, is there any advantage to being an Anthology owner? Or is this intro price the same for everyone? As an Anthology owner, I'm surprised I haven't received a notice that the plugin even exists -- via email.

90% of the annoyance comes from his face and stupid thumbnail mugs.

On a Reddit thread Eventide said something about a new Anthology version dropping soon that’ll include split eq. On a YouTube video they commented about something big for the holidays when asked about discounts for Anthology owners.

^ Thank you.

in case it wasn't mentioned elsewhere:

All Eventide plug-ins are now compatible with:

macOS Monterey
AU, VST2, and VST3 natively support M1 and Intel processors
AAX natively supports Intel, and M1 under Rosetta 2
Windows 11
All Eventide plug-ins are 64-bit only. See each plug-in’s product page for further OS requirements.

How is it possible for them to already have native M1 support for their plugins? I thought it required Pace to release their native M1 support first.

i have no idea. but maybe iLok authorizer running in rosetta is good enough for activating Apple Silicon software? UVI Falcon is native and runs natively and uses Pace iLok so this isn't a situation that's unique to eventide. expert sleepers and others as well.

Sorry, I can't give you a more specific answer than what's already been said. I would suggest going with the 30 day demo for now, and make sure you are subscribed to our mailing list or socials to stay informed about other discounts.

When I come to power I will decree that anyone who does does those stupid hands-on-face-oh-so-surprised thumbnails on YouTube is to be repeatedly hit on the toenails with a hammer.

[masterhiggins]

Lol. I can get behind that.

He has the distinction of being the only YouTube channel I've ever blocked on my browsing account. Dunno why, I just got into a sudden fit of rage where I couldn't stand to see him for another second, lol

So reading about this I remembered that I also have sonible EntropyEQ , which I got for free, but rarely used it because I didn’t spend enough time with it to understand what it really is good for
But as far as I understand it, it covers similar ground as splitEQ. Did anyone compare those two? The Eventide one seems more flexible and has a more modern GUI, but if EntropyEQ can produce similar results, I wouldn’t want to spend a hundred bucks.

Is that still possible? I wanted to block the Spectre Sounds (Glen Fricker) videos from my feed and couldn't find a way.

Typical KVR...
Guy gets blasted for having a face, being enthusiastic and posting thumbnails that
engender aggression in those people with nothing else in their lives.
I thought this thread was about Split EQ and not a cave for a coven of trolls.
Anyway! The pan option is extremely interesting:) All in all a very desirable addition:)

with tools like these it comes down to the specific problem you're trying to solve as to which is better (unless one of them turns out to be radically better, which is rare). if you haven't had the call to use entropyeq much, you probably don't need to even demo this one.

the kinds of situations where you want to use something like this are where you don't have the stems or source recordings and really do need to fix it in the mix. if you do have the sources, there are probably way better ways to handle the fix. though there might be some extreme sound design possibilities for field-recording samples and the like.

I haven't tested it yet but it looks fantastic. And I hear good things about it.
