made with SE, PE Me ma mi mo mu muuuuuhh....

the final thing is only one :

Really good job. I'm trying lva1 on parallel limiting on drums track..
..really good sounding, punch and solid result!!

Compliments Vieris! And thanks!

In those days you and aradaz make me happy ! Amazing free plugs.

[vieris]

great stuff! tried lva, lim and ffc and..wow.
ffc is really fresh air. aahh, it breathes, pops, blasts..never been able to tweak
the curve this way, so fast. just too sweet.

thanx a lot.

FFC seems to be a gem to a lot of people. The URS 1975 is the only other plug i've been able to get close to this. But it's still not at all as punchy.

Yah, the FFC is hot. When I put that on a group I get in the same frame of mind I would if I had to ride a wild horse -- there's a lot of power there and it takes some taming. I've only found it usable on the mix buss a couple of times, it's a little finicky trying to dial in something that doesn't "buck," but it's amazing on subgroups. The couple times it *has* worked on the mix buss for me, though, it really tightened things up. It's a cliche and it's vague, but this comp has glue.

I'm not such a fan of the URS comps -- nor the eqs, actually. The new PSP Mixpresser2 is pretty classy and can grip a mix, and I use the UAD stuff pretty frequently in addition to my hardware, but I think I'd be pretty hard-pressed to find something that grips like your FFC. It's impressive.

The new P3Q-1 behaves a little weird in FPC mode. Sometimes there are huge jumps in gain when operating it.

Could you consider a "mastering" version of this FPC technique with a max/min gain range of only +/- 6dB? That would make it much easier to control.

Cheers!

+1...but at the same time I think that P3Q-1 is a bit aggressive for mastering purposes...but i could be wrong....however even a master volume pot could be much appreciated

Vieris, you're a freakin' mad scientist! What the hell!

I just tried this and your last two limiter creations: very, very nice! You're making some exciting stuff here, as always. That EQ is whack with the FBC thing! You can really alter the sound with your stuff in unexpected ways; very different than other EQs. The Lim-1 and LVA sound fantastic, and I even tried them out on the mix bus; they sound to me like good candidates for "mix glue"-style compression. Great stuff.

If I may ask: how do you do make these so quickly? And why did you go from normal coding to Synthedit, out of curiosity?

I try to make tools that can actually offer something useful. I have invested a lot of $ in plugins myself, so when I make something it's based on the desire to fill a hole that I have in my collection. Doesn't help i have a Compressor/EQ addiction/fascination. Why SE? I'm an audio engineer/musician 1st and foremost not a fulltime coder. SE offers me a platform that handles 32/64bit float internal processing, allot of great 3rd party code modules, great support resources when i have questions, & works great with my hosts. Covers all my wants. It has allowed me to laydown my years of built up signal flow ideas in vst form. Why so fast? Excitement & I'm on the night shift this week. The studio can be dead at night I am also doing this without the profit in mind. If i was yeah i would space them out. This also allows me to careless if my vision is mass accepted and profitable. I have to much crap I want to finish to deal with that.

Nice, man. Nice. For the public record, I have nothing against SE, I was merely curious why you switched to it, and the speed at which you can work with it really attests to it. Just don't switch to SynthMaker yet: my computer can't handle it!

[waiting man]

don't ever make parameters-values readouts on this one!
(attack seconds, db reduction, etc.)

really.

[bduffy]

Yeah, it's kinda cool flying blind with this one, and setting your low cut to ".02". I get very different results with these.

Cool to hear it's made a home and offers something different for you. You have some nice stuff there. I haven't used it as a masterbuss comp. I usually use something like the LVA-1 or LIM-1 but I love the FFC-1 on drum buses. But if i wanted something really in your face i would try it for sure.
After reading this i think it should be required to wear a cowboy hat when using this.

Feels good to see it used on drums, I want to hear, & your welcome.

This is true you really have to think of it as a completely different EQ while in FPC mode. It was a hard call to add it or not do to it causing more confusion then help. Cutting frequency's will stop cutting & add more gain after certain threshold. I like the idea of limiting the gain while in FPC mode. But then again it would kill some creative potential. Maybe a mastering EQ at some point. But I think I want to make a vow not to make anything I've all ready bought. My CSP is getting less & less use and it's disturbing me .

This i will most likely add.

really.

This is actually something I love about the hardware that inspires me. Forces you to use your ears, not what you have become comfortable with. Adds to my creative flow. Exact measurement has it's place during mastering for sure. I think too many plugins are stuck in the "computer realm" Lets get some human interaction again. How many times have you typed in your attack time or stopped compressing because the meter says -6 because thats what you think you like? I'm guilty of this. Every compressor & meter responds differently. Nevermind the different content. Look at many of the classics, not even an option. I feel this has allot to do with there success.

Yep thats right on the edge on the sub lows. that range has dramatic effects on the response.

Update

Added
EQH-1, EQM-1, & EQL-1.

Key Features.

- FPC mode (Filter Phase Compensation). EQ's by nature modify the phase of the frequencies they boost/cut. FPC reintroduces the phase canceled signals from the EQ filters. This may or may not be desired depending on the EQ application.

- Hyper extended Q

- Band-pass to help select frequency to modify.

- (+/-) 30db of gain.

- 12 or 24db Filter Slopes.


These are more operative then the Peak EQ's. Similar in sound to the 3 band P3Q-1. These offer more dedicated features then it's 3 band partner in crime. So between these & the Peaks, Two different worlds of color are covered.

[SongMonkey]

Fantastic.

The FPC mode is really strange, but when it's right for a sound it's great. Then when you click back to "normal" mode you think, How boring, a simple boost. Strange but cool. Thanks.

[bduffy]

So these are nag-screened now?

[vieris]

Always have been.. If you haven't seen any so far don't think you will.

Can be strange, but now you have EQ's that can go to 11. It's one more.
