FFT is pretty old and there already is lots of plugins that use it. Most plugins use it for either visualisation or analysis where the actual processing based on the analysis happens again in time domain, not frequency domain (for example oeksound soothe). The reasons for this is the inherent latency in the FFT technique and the trade off between time resolution (for example transients) and frequency resolution (high frequency detail). You can’t really get both when you convert your signal back from frequency domain. That is why melodyne for example uses a mixture of both time and frequency domain processing to get a realistic result and it gets really complex and CPU intense if you want to get it right. There are however great sound design plugins that apply similar concepts like GRM Tools but they are more intended for creative sound mangling, not for mixing.

Bitwig's native device "loud split" splits the audio into three sections quiet, intermediate and loud by definiting two thresholds. You can then add processing in each of these containers, regulate the gain and you have the option to hear them in solo or mute them
@maryaoa17 сағат бұрын
Bitwig lets you separate the transits from the tones simply and put whatever effects you want on each of them.

i think what you’re asking for about a dB axis and a time axis has already been done, and it’s just wave shaping. the amplitude is already encoded in the image, just as color instead of another axis. if what you’re talking about is more of “spectral wave shaping”, i believe that’s possible. that would be, attenuating volumes at particular frequencies. i can probably code this in plugdata pretty easily.
@sageaudio23 сағат бұрын
I agree! It's waveshaping but with access to thousands of individual bins that could be altered independently of one another since they've been mapped. So, like you said, it's spectral waveshaping but with access to the entire signal and the ability to introduce changes at any point in the track and in any manner (instead of the static processing of a typical waveshaping plugin).

@mitekillemКүн бұрын
For the FFT - Rx question, I think it would be hard to view that information in a 2D representation. Currently it's laid out in a way where the Amplitude of a frequency is either darker or lighter. The way you describe would display the Higher Amplitudes peaks stacked from top to bottom (but that would be disassociated with their frequency as now that would need a different designation). But there are such things as Spectral Compressors, such as the Sonible Smart Comp 2. Now with this unit there is a view at the bottom of the plugin which shows the high amplitude content that is being effected from Low Hz (left) to High Fq (right). It also has a separate view for the wave form over time, and the level of compression over that same timeline. Together they can work to give you the information you're looking for, but also it's still a bit much for the eyes, and somewhat confusing if you don't know what you're looking at.

The spectral crossovers by Melda can do what you're looking for. If you want just the crossover, you can use the free MRatioMB plugin. Or if you want to do some processing with those bands, the MB series of plugins include the crossovers. When things get complex, MXXX is ultimate solution.

9:03 The view you describe is that of an oscilloscope, think about it. But I think what you want is to sort frequencies according to their amplitude/dynamic range, and the oscillogram isn't made for that since it shows a single signal, which is your musical output. You'd have to plot one signal per frequency on your graph, which would be quickly unreadable and much harder to select those signals/frequencies (I mean, do you see yourself clicking on the signal in your scope among all the other signals?) I think RX is great, it does exactly what you want but uses colors instead of an axis (in fact I think it has a 3D view that adds the amplitude axis like what you want). I've seen other comments on MDynamics MB, and YES I think it does what you want, and this compressor uses the usual EQ graph (x-axis = frequency, y-axis = amplitude) and I think it's great just like that
@sageaudioКүн бұрын
RX and MDynamics MB are great suggestions, and they definitely offer the kind of frequency/amplitude visualization that could be great for this. Thanks for pointing that out!

@mixphantom01012 күн бұрын
Melda Productions "MB" (MultiBand) plugins can split the spectrum based on level. Grab a copy of MDynamicsMB and instead of splitting into frequency bands you can split into "Spectrum" (up to six bands!). I usually just use one split, solo the band a find the range where no musical info is left - then just reduce the level of the band. Great for audio restoration projects.

I have a question completely unrelated to compression that I’m kinda stuck on. I love the sound of a tri stereo chorus and use feedback loops in reaper to create tri stereo flangers. Is there a free plugin that could make tri stereo phasing possible?
@dilemmacubing2 күн бұрын
With the definition of tri stereo being left lfo starting phase -2pi/3 center lfo starting phase 0 and right lfo starting phase 2pi/3
@sageaudioКүн бұрын
@@dilemmacubing great question! For tri-stereo phasing, there aren’t many free plugins specifically designed with that exact LFO phase arrangement, but there are a couple of ways to achieve something similar using free tools in Reaper: You might have luck with some native plugins, such as ReaEQ or ReaDelay, combined with automation to set the phase offsets manually. You could also use a stereo phaser plugin and automate the phase shift for each channel. It won’t be as straightforward as a dedicated tri-stereo plugin, but with a little setup, it could get you close to the effect you're aiming for? Alternatively, you might want to look into MeldaProduction’s MFreeFXBundle (free version) which has a versatile phaser that could give you the flexibility to adjust phase for different channels. I'll also link a few great paid tri-stereo chorus plugins below too! Hopefully, that helps point you in the right direction! store.eventideaudio.com/products/tricerachorus?srsltid=AfmBOoqgLXYElBKFB4NbgNCokhoNBhjnW8XZUnOelGP5aSpT1UEJq3M9 www.uaudio.fr/uad-plugins/delay-modulation/dytronics-tri-stereo-chorus.html

For the experimental parallel harmonic compression technique, if I'm not mistaken, you could probably duplicate the source track and remove the output so you can use it as a dedicated sidechain source. Then, you wouldn't need a secondary eq after the compressor due to the fact that it is a source with no output. I apologize if I misunderstood what was being communicated. Thank you, Sage Audio, for the awesome content!
@sageaudioКүн бұрын
You’re on the right track with the idea of duplicating the source track and using it as a dedicated sidechain source. By doing this, you can indeed use it as a "ghost" sidechain signal, which allows you to shape the compression without affecting the main output. This method would prevent the need for a secondary EQ after the compressor since the duplicated track (with no output) can serve as the trigger without altering the final sound. The key is making sure that the sidechain source (the duplicate track) is effectively controlling the compressor’s action, without influencing the audible mix. This way, you’re using it purely for its dynamic control while keeping the original signal intact. No need to apologize, thanks for watching!

FFT editing should be able to map the info the way you describe, its something the developers should look into there are ways to filter predictable noise (hums, fans, electric) using some kind of fft, the edison plugin in fl studio does it fairly well. But filtering quiet noises that are not predictable is something that needs to be coded
@sageaudioКүн бұрын
Absolutely, mapping FFT editing like that would be a great feature to explore. Filtering predictable noise is one thing, but dealing with subtle, random sounds definitely requires more advanced techniques. Appreciate the input!
