TAL releases TAL-EQ

[midi sentinel]

Wait, are you implying that TAL EQ is doing C/R? Is it not just a serial?

I'm not implying it, TAL is...

The plugin will run in demo mode without registration. You will receive a key after the payment. The plugin will ask for the key if you open the UI. You need to be online, but offline registration is also possible. You can always login and download the key.

You can register the plug-in on up to 4 systems. Our portal tracks the number of activations and you see them in your account.
You can delete registered computers in your user account after one year. We can also delete earlier in special cases. Contact us for this.

Offline activation is also possible. Choose Register Offline Device... from your user account and paste the offline Device ID from the plugins registration dialog on the computer where you want to register the plug-in. After that, you can download a special offline registration serial key. Paste it like the normal key to activate the product.
Our products validate the computer registration from time to time.

As in so many cases the KVR product database is useless when it comes to specify the DRM since apparently there's no standard at all... just call it key file or serial and omit the fact that it still needs online access to a server to actually authorize the product. It's even worse when the developers try to hide it on their own site and/or documentation. At least TAL has it in their FAQ, even if the product page screams of the intention to make it vauge on purpose... and since it vauge I can be wrong but nothing makes me think I am, however I wish I was.

Oh, wow. Thank you for this, honestly.

It absolutely did not click with me, I just saw "download the key" and assumed that it is a simple keyfile/serial registration. It's on me, I made a big assumption based on all the praise TAL received everywhere, all the time for his software. Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.

I did buy EQ and G-Verb because I am switching to Linux and wanted to have another quality EQ/Reverb (along with Toneboosters ones) but even though I am using Linux as main home/work desktop for 20+ years, I just could never use it for audio. Lucky that you mentioned this, I was planning on testing/reinstalling the box multiple times in order to test all edge cases and try various distros and what not and I would most likely register the EQ/Verb each time, because why not. Then I'd have to beg someone to let me use software I paid for, again because they wouldn't let me de-authorize computers before a year passes? I am so tired of this.

Yeah, vague on purpose I suppose:

Our products validate the computer registration from time to time.

I keep falling in love with Toneboosters more and more, day after day, year after year.

Thank you, once again for mentioning this. Can't believe how naive I was.

Now watch me learn that Toneboosters also does C/R, then I'm gonna jump off the cliff I really assume a lot when it comes to software, haha.

I really don’t get the strategy with this one. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t already have an excellent dynamic EQ somewhere. It just seems like such a weird decision. Even an excellent noise gate would make more sense. A quirky delay plugin would, too. A unique channel strip plugin. Apulsoft made a dynamic EQ, but it was more than that. It was basically a modular filter/EQ with endless uses.

I really don’t get the strategy with this one. ...

It's almost like it's a test run for purchases and the new authorization system before releasing the JX-8P ...

[ere2learn]

.....or may be he just wanted to design a eq for his own use & release it as a project, while the jx8p was getting fixed

[TechHaus]

in before 8+ pages of people just saying that they don't need this plugin.

edit: also i don't have a dynamic eq plugin YET, except for a sonalksis dq1 license on an old ilok.

It's always worth checking audiojunkie's thread here to see if a developer is on the list.

Me was secretly hoping for the new Klanghelm EQ. At least its Linux.

[fisherKing]

i'm not abandoning Q4 for this, but one of my collabs picked it up, and says it's an excellent EQ... good stuff

[mabian]

With Tonebooster Eq Pro landing on Linux soon, it's a tough moment to release yet another EQ (good but not groundbreaking...).

Also check ZL Equalizer for comparison, which is totally free...

[El°HYM]

ZL Equalizer is certainly a pretty good EQ (still in Beta?) yet also nowhere near to what Toneboosters EQ Pro can do.

Wrong thread.sorry.

Yeah, I just checked that yesterday. Not there. Yet.

[El°HYM]

If Klanghelm finally releases his EQ and provides native Linux versions. This would be the snowball leading to an avalanche finally bursting Apple & Microsoft out of business.

Lol

From the description :

Each band can be fully automated.

How many bands can we get?

Double-click to create a new EQ band.

How many bands can we get?

The plugin also offers different processing options for each band

Great. But how many bands...
