DMG EQuilibrium

[DaveGamble]

Dave,

Sorry to keep mentioning this, it's not actually that big a deal so feel free to ignore this. But just to let you know, the Digital+ cancelletaion issue is not completely fixed. Still the amount of cancellation varies depending on the level of compensation you select.

I know- I calibrated it so that the cancellation improves as the size increases.

The issue is PURELY one of gain; but the difference is in the order of 0.01dB.

Dave.

Dave, I hope you have also taken notice of my issue.

Of course! Krzysz sits and catalogues all issues raised, then we collate them into our bug tracker.

Sadly though, it's not possible for me to reply directly to every posting, because then half the posts would be by me, and no work would get done.

If we struggle to get repro, we will be in touch to collect more data, and for that reason, its always better to email me with anything than just post it up on kvr (since then I have a fast way to contact you back).

Dave.

Hmm... I believe I'm going to have to try this behemoth in the near future. Sounds way too cool.

[sunny_j]

I shall keep that in mind for the future Dave.

Could we have the text on the graph overlaid on top of the analyser instead of behind it please? other than that it's perfect for me.

Could it be better set up for Automap 4 so I can use my Novation SLMKII controller with each strip as I select each strip?

No Equilibrium bugs found with Ableton Live 8 64bit

Feature Request

Buttons or something on main interface to toggle on and off each part of the interface without having to go into setup or preferences.

Should be able to easily click on or off interface features such as piano roll, analyzer, knobs, etc.

I'm experiencing pops when changing models in the Low Shelf. This happened in v1.0 and still does in v1.01, roughly 1 time out of 3. The pops peak to over 70db.
EQuilibrium VST3 x64, Cubase 6.5 x64, Win 7 x64... still have to check in Cubase 7 as I'm re-installing it.

Gigabyte P55-UD3
i5 750
ATI Sapphire HD 5450
Seasonic Bronze 600W
Corsair SSD F120
2x Seagate HD 500GB
Corsair DDR3 XMS 1333 (2x4GB + 2x2GB)
LaCie FW PCIe card TI
RME FireFace 400

Happens also in Cubase 7.0.3 and Reaper 4.32.
Only happens when changing models during playback.

Have had a couple random crashes when enabling the High Shelf.

I'm sure those minor glitches will be fixed soon... going to buy it tomorrow

We spent all day in Cubase 7 64 bit VST3 today; and it was interesting. Think Dave's got the popping bug! I'll check out the LPF button a bit more in a minute, but I think he's dealt with a range of popping issues in one. We think this might of dealt with similar issues on a number of similar platforms.

If anybody get crazy gui stuff in C7 64bit, make sure you're on the latest version of C7! (7.0.3)

[Krzysztof Oktalski]

Regarding feature requests - Dave is still using every second of development time on stability and bugfixes. Seems like nearly everyone is up and running now and we're getting close to running out of bug reports so the next version should hopefully deal with all remaining issues that we have repro for.

Past that, we've got the list of feature requests to go through. We're unlikely to change any major GUI elements now, screen selections can be done by selectively loading GUI's from presets; for flexibility this was deemed the best method for a variety of solutions, as it means the user can customise the elements quickly.

Text over graph was one of my earlier feature requests, I'll try and reinstate it and see if Dave feels more charitable about it now. As a temporary fix, if you change the opacity of the analyser (setup->gui->analyser->opacity) you can often make that situation a lot better. Not sure about the Automap thing, I've got the same controller so maybe I'll take a look at some point.

Thanks to everyone so far for their feedback, enthusiasm and love. We deeply appreciate it and I know it drives Dave to make shit happen for you.

Dave, did you thoroughly state space model the hardware EQ's represented in the plug-in like in the Sonalksis EQ?

Sorry if this has been covered here already. I haven't read the whole thread but I didn't see this specifically mentioned on your website, only mention of specific hardware curves.

Well, being able to change the GUI from the GUI is a feature I'll keep requesting, as I'm sure others will

It's somewhat cumbersome to have to go into presets just to flip on or off the keyboard, or remove the graph.

i totally agree. This one is a must. Easy access to the gui elemnts with one click. Every click i can save is a good one, and i liked the way Equality dealed with this.

Great Plug though. Already bought it esp. for it's surround cababilities.

I imagined a palette of "soft buttons" that could mapped to whatever setup toggles you wanted, or at least the ability to move the setup window off of the main window and have both be active simultaneously. Actually, that latter would work just as well if not better for me. I don't like making presets. I like the host to save my settings and setup in the project, session, etc. I'm OK with not changing the GUI on the fly, but I would really like to quickly audition different settings on the DSP page without having to open and close the setup window to tweak the EQ controls.

That's a bit of a marketing phrase. And not a term I'd ever use (it came from Sonalksis, before my time).

These are careful circuit models. Schematics, plots, etc. all the science. It's fun!

Dave.
Edit: the correct phrase would be a model that was implemented via a state-space representation. "State space model" conflates two different things: what it's doing (the model) and how it's doing it (the state space representation). State space representations are a real thing, from linear system theory. It is by definition identical to any other topology, because that's what "representation" means here- a different way of storing your numbers. There was some argument that for float, it provided better noise performance, but actually using double precision floats (as all my stuff does internally, start to end), is not only better still, it also uses a lot less CPU! The state space representation uses a lot more multiplies per sample, and I can't find a measurement whereby its an improvement on what I use.)
