In-Depth: Dyn8

[@dominickdekauwe2454]

These videos have been amazing. I hope they do this for the entire fx library. Especially the source expander!!

Some bookmarks for me: Dynamic Eq any good? 0:17 Bass 1:48 Principal behind DynEQ 2:11 Guitars 4:29 Vocal 9:54 12:32 Multiband 6:04 Thanks for this great video, Ben!

You all are killing it with these videos!!! It helps us more than you know. Thank you!!!

[@benlangberg2413]

excellent insight to Dyn8. Appreciate this one!

You didn't mention "split" v "wide"--I believe this is selecting the sidechain monitoring the filtered frequency or wideband. So, for example, in the first dynamic EQ demo you did of that lower part of the bass, it was set to "wide" so I think that dynamic filter was reacting to the overall bass signal NOT the filtered bass signal just centered around 150 hz. An example of when you might want to use wide would be on that vocal mid high expander you set: if you set the sidechain to wide, then when the singer sings at all, just the overall level going above the threshold will open that mid high filter/expander, which might be nice for making sure the vocal always opens that filter even if it doesn't have much mid high in the note he's singing. Cheers!

I take issue with the comments at the start of this video. There is no difference between reducing the level of a particular frequency range using multiband compression or dynamic eq; the result is identical. Either way you are reducing the level of a frequency band when it exceeds a threshold. Where the two effects differ is in the way the frequency bands are split. A multiband comp splits the signal into individual bands, a little like a PA crossover, whereas a dynamic EQ leaves the signal intact and just works on the central frequency you select. For this reason dynamic EQ tends to be a little more transparent.

Spot on! Cheers, Rafa

Good overview, but did you have a ducker running on this? Whenever you spoke and said "you can hear it here" the music dipped in volume and I couldn't hear it. LOL. Probably best to leave a pause so we can actually hear the effect for more than a nano second.

Great help. Super good video

[@SilvaJoseMusic]

When would one decide to use a Dyn EQ vs normal EQ within the channel?

[@tomlobb6003]

is it possible to buy and run DEEP for c1500 ? THX

[@AllenandHeathUK]

Hello Tom, dLive products include DEEP and RACK FX processing Add-ons by default. Cheers, Rafael

Question. Would there ever be a good use case for running Dyn8 in insert B, after PEQ and standard compression (shaping vocals perhaps)? Or is it always preferred to run this plug-in prior to PEQ and standard compression? and WHY? thanks.

[@AllenandHeathUK]

Hello Jonathan, This is totally up to the operators preference. Everyone has different ways of mixing! Cheers, Rafael

[@HakonFlaty]

Nice tricks. Please, let us listen, dont talk so much while demonstrating.

I've been incorporating this trick to deal with cymbal bleed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIOWnn6OhLecn9ksi=1LSaazZ15PKocota ...but I'd much rather do as you have here with the dynamic EQ!! Can't wait to try it
