Klanghelm MJUC and MJUC jr. released

[tonhelm]

That did it Tony! Awesome support, how come you're able to solve my issue before even posting it
Thank you!

Great to hear, that you got it working! I'll dive into the depths of the new installer settings to be able to avoid things like that in the future.

Tony,

The new version fixes a problem I had with latest versions of Tracktion crashing if I tried to reopen an edit with MJUC having a preset set. It didn't crash if MJUC was left on default.

However, now the new version will crash tracktion if left on default setting (even if controls are changed but not saved as preset).

[tonhelm]

please send me an email with your system specs, so I can look into this.

thanks

However, now the new version will crash tracktion if left on default setting (even if controls are changed but not saved as preset).

I haven't seen this behavior in T7 on Win 8.1 x64 (Tracktion crashes whenever I close a project but that's just Tracktion, nothing to do with MJUC).

I'm looking for an x64 replacement for VoS ThrillseekerVBL to be used for massive mojo and this particular exaggerated thick low end hype/vibe I liked to use on techno drums. It's very particular and obvious coloration (an understatement, it basically takes the input and replaces it with something that just sounds better ) that I've had trouble producing by other means. MJUC jr, while sounding really awfully nice, doesn't have that same effect, but I wonder if the senior version could do it?

Model 1 of the MJUC and ThrillseekerVBL are both supposedly inspired by 50's vari-mu designs and I don't really care how well they succeed in this task, but whether they sound close to each other.

Late follow-up, no, these compressors don't sound exactly same, but in the end I much prefer MJUC and I'm very happy with the purchase.

Just bought this beast! I wish i did that earlier. Now could anybody tell me what the cal -18 means? Is it just for the meter display? I mean I usually set the gain (using Studio One's VU meter to 18db (scale)) after any VSTi plugin to 18db. Maybe i don't need to do this and the comp does this already for me? Thanks.

[DrSense]

It's for calibrating the input sensitivity. Lower values = less sensible, higher = more...but if you're already hitting it with the proper -18db (as you apparently are) you won't need that. Can't think of occasions where you couldn't fix the level before hitting the comp but if that ever happens one can setup MJUC to keep working properly.

[Compyfox]

Now could anybody tell me what the cal -18 means?

It's mainly the calibration/work level/hotspot for the VU and the saturation. The "fixed threshold" (depending on the ratio in the higher Mark modes especially) is offset of that - but remains the same distance even if you shift the reference (see post by jens).

Basically, yes... it can change the input sensitivity if you alter the calibration. But you seem to work with suitable gain staging techniques at -18dBFS / 0VU already. In this case, there is no need to adjust anything

[jens]

Actually it sets the complete working point of the plugin, so it affects the compression itself too. The lower you set it, the more compression you will get.

[Jorgeelalto]

Well... Thanks for the question and the clarifications, I also didn't know what was that control for.

[Igro]

Thank DrSense, Compyfox and jens. So basically i can leave it at - 18 if i have already lowered the db to-18 before the comp? But if i didn't lower to - 18 before the comp, what should i set in calibration box to get the same result?

[Burillo]

you don't have to lower the db by -18. you have to use a VU meter (such as Klanghelm's own VUMT) to bring your signal down (or up) to 0VU (on default settings), which corresponds to -18dB calibration.

I'm using Studio one vu meter, it doesn't have trim option, so before the vu i insert mix tool to lower manually. But I'm interesting if i can get the same result by using mjuc's calibration box? In other words, can i make 0VU within mjuc? SDDR does it.

Click the "GR" label on the MJUC VU meter to toggle between metering modes. Left click to select from a popup menu or right-click to scroll modes. You want to calibrate to have around 0VU on the "IN" meter.

[Psync]

As for as I know, no, you can't. MJUC allows you to measure your input levels by setting its VU setting accordingly. But, unlike with SDRR, MJUC doesn't offer a trim knob...
