GrapHack : Where Analog Meets Digital - Analog Obsession (Relaunched Website)

[AnalogObsession]

Here is GrapHack!

Famous American Graphic Equalizer & Saturator in a box!

You can simply equalize your sound with famous American Graphic Equalizer and also saturate any band!

Saturator and Equalizer have their own independent faders!

Also, Gain Compensated Main Input (Drive) & Mix!

You can go crazy with Equalizer & Saturator and then blend with DRY sound to get best balance!

FEATURES

- 10 Band Graphic Equalizer with Independent Band Saturation

- Each band has its own Mode (M button). You can switch between Equalizer and Saturation knob and use both features independently at the same time!

- Each band has its own Bypass (I/O button). You can simply bypass each band!

- Gain Compensated Input (Drive)

- Mix feature to blend DRY and WET signals

- ANALOG OBSESSION label is oversampling. Simply click it and engage 4x oversampling.

- Touchscreen support

- Resizable interface. Simple "Bottom Right Corner Handle" to resize. 50% to 200%.

*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate plug-in, it will remember current state of GUI size. But if you load new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;

1. Open plug-in for the first time

2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or you liking before setting any knobs

3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW

Now, you will be able to load new instances with same size.

(If you want to go default size, simply double click to resize handle.)

Congrats on the website! As some feedback about it - it looks like it's made totally for mobile, hard to look at on big screen, everything is enormous.

Looking forward to trying it and adding to my workflow! Hope for lots of color!

@edit
Maaaan, thats one sweet thing - loving the whole idea, surprisingly, I don't know anything like that - very unique, and super useful. Just in time when I'm looking for Rbass replacement, it kinda does it's thing in that department, saturating just the lows with it works wonders. On drum bus its a beats. It's a keeper and gonna make into every project as I see it now. Really missed such thing. Sounds lovely and limited choice of frequencies does its thing too! Didn't know before tryin if eq and saturator are working in seperately - it's awesome that they do 10/10.
As a feedback of what could be improved, its minor gui things - like a switch instead of button for eq/sat or 2 faders always visible, one dragable from upside, 2nd from downside or something like that. But its minor, and doesnt stop me from enjoying it at all.

I like the appearance of the website--very pleasing to me. I did expect to find a "Plug-ins" link at the top, as opposed to going to the little three line menu icon. Still, looks great.

[Dormant]

No way, API finally! Surprised to see per band saturation in this eq, this looks very interesting. Thanks!

[Bodhisan]

The new website truly complements your sharp UIs - and this new e.q. is really fun to use. Well done, once again!

[kPere]

In non-linear plugins like this, it's always very welcome to see some kind of meters, vu meter preferably. I'm trying to gain-stage anyway, so it's usable, but when I didn't and had very low signal incoming I had to mess with the input/output, which cannot be linked to each-other making it harder.

Sounds great, I keep messing with it 2nd day and finding it very useful.

Band based saturation! Genius! Why aren't there more of these? So many saturators are 'all or nothing' but you can really control the sound here. Working with dance music, I can see myself using this on every drum track from now on. It's easy to make the kick sound fuller and punchier, and driving the saturation at 8K gives a really nice quality to the hats; it's hard to describe, but it makes them almost 'chunky' in a very satisfying way. Fantastic.

Great plugin, but as with many AO plugins, it is too heavy on CPU, especially when oversampling is used.

Eh? It's way less CPU than many other EQ plugins that have any kind of harmonic distortion modeled.

Without oversampling GrapHack uses 0.20% cpu here, one instance. PA Amek 200 and 250 use 0.29%, Lindell 50 Channel, with all other modules disabled except the EQ when set to model 60 (the same exact modeled unit as GrapHack) uses 0.18% cpu and it has nowhere near the same amount of complex harmonics.

So yeah, no idea what you are talking about.

[Igro]

Hmm, I will check again. I was comparing it to the Wave's api 560. Don't care about saturation, I used it mostly for problem fixing on electronic kicks. Works better and faster than something like ProQ.

[Igro]

Waves Api 560 Stereo vesrion - FL meter shows maximum 5%.
AO GrapHack overall 20% and jumps up to 32%.(oversampled) and around 6-7% without oversampling. Tested with 128ms latency at 48Khz.
Thought, i don't see much change in sound when oversampled and when saturation is not in use.

Both sound great though.
