Much appreciated. I agree with your assessment. Thanks for watching!

I get you. I’m neither for or against AI. Some AI tools will be helpful and leave the creative control to people. Some will just flat out steal and recreate. Nonetheless, it’s here to stay whether we like it or not.

😅 I actually had to reach out to the dev team earlier this year regarding some of the UI issues i was having on my machine. They’re pretty responsive.

Thanks! Regarding the room, I debated doing some treatment but decided not to. Even though acoustic panels may reduce reflections, it won’t get rid of the phasing - so it won’t give me a fully accurate sound. I found that doing the final mix on headphones gives me good enough results. I know that’s a controversial statement, but using reference tracks, proper headphones, and tools like sonarworks SoundID is quite sufficient in my opinion. Thanks again for watching.

@@InspiredWithAC Oh I should have clarified that I was talking about your room reverb being recorded into the mic

Oh, gotcha. You’re absolutely correct on that assessment. I use RX11 for some de-reverb, but it’s nowhere near as efficient as actually taking out the reflections in the room.

Well said. Thanks for watching.

Not a dummy when you’re learning. Glad to hear it’s been helpful. It’s a fantastic EQ. Thanks for watching.

For sure the price is a big factor. My advice is to always wait for a sale and buy from online stores like JRR shop or AudioDeluxe where you can use their 10-15% off coupons even on sale products. Also, you can try buy/sell forums on KVR audio or knobcloud. Never buy plugins at full price.

Equalizer Pro? That’s a solid EQ (though if I recall correctly, the demo has annoying pop up). In regard to the 5hz range, I personally think 10hz is more than sufficient. Most musicians will cut or shelf around the 20-30hz. Going down to 5hz is great, but not a “make or break” feature in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

Definitely and ad fro pro q 4

Not an ad at all. I bought both products and use them both. Neither company paid me to make the video. Just trying to help others who are thinking of buying either of these EQs. Thanks for watching though. ✌🏽

Much appreciated! Fantastic feedback and reflection. Thanks for watching.

What's hofa

DynamicTilt or IQ-Series? Also, the problem with a lot of feature-rich EQs (plugins in general) is the overall UI and ease of use.

Absolutely. I use smart:EQ for group unmasking and Pro Q for general EQ. Thanks for watching.

I only use Fruity Parametric EQ 2 😅 one day when I buy another EQ, I will buy Pro-Q 4 or 3. or 5 😁

@@chris_g_slslove it. Parametric EQ 2 is still one of my fav stock EQs.

@@ABurg396 agreed. Definitely can’t go wrong with it!

@@InspiredWithAC I got Ableton EQ 8, just gonna wait for EQ 9 Naw jk but I got the Sonible Essentials bundle for a hundo, so I figured that's a good deal. And I'm just trying the grouping feature now. Still want Pro Q 4 tho haha. The Smart Comp and Limit are good too.

@@ViN-EzLYou’re gonna wait for that one extra band?

This week. 😁

Yea. The full video is linked in the short. Here’s the link if you don’t see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5y4kGBsj6mtndU

Ozone works as well. It all depends on what you’re looking for in your EQ. If it’s just mid/side, both Ozone and Neutron 5 (older Neutron versions don’t have mid/side) are more than capable. Sonible’s Smart:EQ and Pro Q 4 have mid/side processing as well.

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you like the new features. It was worth the upgrade cost in my opinion.

@@InspiredWithACI now feel like there’s no reason to go with Sonible instead of Fabfilter…

I’d still recommend Sonible for people who struggle with EQ or who want quick group-level unmasking. I’ll explain in the new video this week. Other than that, Q4 is in a league of its own and it’s not even close.

Absolutely correct. I only do so on instrumentals I release without ever intending on getting vocals on it or when submitting for placements so they sound “competitive”.

Much appreciated 🙏🏽

It’s transparent like Pro-Q 3. You’d generally use these for sculpting the sound rather than making it “musical” by giving it an overall tone or saturation like a Pultec would.

@@InspiredWithAC thanks

How’s Kirchhoff? I debated buying it last year but ended up passing on it.

@InspiredWithAC Kirchoff is topnotch just like Fabfilter Pro-Q. Just add it to your Eq collection if you don't have it or make it available next on your wishlist of quality Eqs. UVI's Shade Eq is another mention also for crazy filtering automation effects!

The comparison was their Ai capabilities versus manual mixing and mastering. The point was to show how each one compares to a person doing the mix for themselves. Though I could have A/B demo’d Sonible’s Ai mix vs Izotope’s.

@@InspiredWithAC yeah, i get it but...i was more about: Sonible Vs IZotope🙂

“Convert sound to pain”. That legit made me chuckle 😂. I don’t disagree though. I upgraded my neutron to 5. I was debating doing another demo like the video here and I couldn’t get a single mix to sound professional simply by using the assistant alone. That said, do I love Izotope, just not any of their Ai fluff.

Hey. They’re from Heavyocity’s Damage 2. It’s the Ensemble Toms patch. If you’re using the Composer Cloud subscription, Hollywood orchestral percussion has Concert Toms. Also, look for taikos as well for beefy drums. Storm Drum 3 has some beefy percussion kits.

100% agreed, unless you’re doing sound design. Especially if you’re automating filters. But for general EQ, I don’t think most will need to go beyond 4 or 5.

Tough to say without the producer/engineer revealing it. I listened to the track. You can definitely achieve it with a similar mastering chain to this. EQ, compression, saturation, clipping, limiting. Vocals had auto tune. You can also add some FX like delay and reverb to taste.

Quite a few: Intro pads: Ashlight Low synth: CUBE + Serum Plucks: Synth Anthology 4 Strings: Albion One + Cinestrings Pro Brass: Cinebrass Pro Voice: EW Voices of Soul

@@InspiredWithAC alr cool, do you use a specific composing software or?

@@InspiredWithAC cause that beat drop was sick

I used FL Studio for this one specifically. I generally use FL, but I also use Cubase and MPC.

Nice! I still find myself going to ProQ as the default. I think the issue is unique to my cpu (Intel) and gpu (Gtx 2060), but experiencing instability with the GUI really put me off the EQ4. I check every now and then to see if there’s an update from Sonible.

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

Awesome. I’m glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!

Much appreciated!

Agreed. It gives you greater control over the frequencies you’re ducking down instead of side chaining the entire signal.

🙌🏽
