VIDEO - Transient Dynamics in MAutoDynamicEQ

[Chandlerhimself]

In this video I'm going to show you how to use the transient feature inside the melda dynamic EQs. Using this you can reduce the transients in certain areas of the spectrum and really shape your sound. I'm using MAutodynamicEQ, but this can be done in other plugins such as MDynamicEQ, MCabinet, etc.

Great video as always, but don’t like the workflow really, too much clicks for me to get it working. Voxengo GlissEq does something really similar, but better workflow. Thanks

It would be nice to get an actual transient shaper in the dynamic EQs. Or you could use MTransientMB.

Hi Chandler,

In your video you say that you have to boost the input and compensate with the output to get enough level for the transient dedection since the "Level gain" slider doesn't do it but if you press the "?" in MAutoDynamicEQs Dynamic Band Settings, it says:

"Transient lets you mix the level follower output with a transient detector output. This lets you follow signal level, transients or both.
Note that since transient level is usually lower than level detector's output, "Level gain" is only applied on the level detector's signal, so you can use this to compensate for the difference in level."

So if the "Level gain" slider (which has also +/- 24dB of gain just like the "Input gain") isn't working for the transient detection, it might be a bug or am I missing something?

Cheers!

AGIGA - The level gain does work and in many cases its fine to use that to balance things. If the transients are loud you can use the level gain to turn down the detectors signal to match the transients. Sometimes, like what happened here, the transients were too low in volume and in that case turning down the level makes both signals too low. Turning up the input gives you a louder transient, so you can now effect its dynamics more easily and then use can use the level gain to balance things however you want.

I hope that is clear. If there is something you don't understand feel free to ask.

So it would be easier and much faster if Vojtech would change the level gain range for the transient detection or am I wrong?
