Introduction to Smart Operations in Nova GE and SlickEQ

[@rado3714]

Watching Tokyo Dawn plugin intros make me feel like James Bond getting prepped for some kind of weird mastering mission.

[@saardean4481]

Dan`s tutorials are better than listening to a tape of Hansel&Grettel

[@saardean4481]

The Dynamic match function+ communicaton between Nova instances is Sweeeeet! Cool addition!

[@marc-io]

This is how every VST plugin should be presented

[@Erudotic]

Just leave that to Dan W, absolutely!

[@oinkooink]

[@HeyWhatD0oIKn0w]

Agreed!!

Tokyo Dan Worrall by Dawn Labs; Quintessence of perfect synergy!

[@DavidDiMuzio]

What powerful plugins. Blown away by these! ...and you keep making them better. Thank you!

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

All I can say now is: WOW!!!!!!!!!!! The sound clarity, the features at this price range... ...WOW! THANK YOU , Dan! Thank you all from Tokyo Dawn Records (Labs)...

[@HAJJ101]

Hats off to this brand for making this de-resonate feature. I wanted to make my vocals smoother and it helps a whole lot, especially making vocals sound tighter and overall cleaner. INCREDIBLE

[@jorgeelalto]

Sold my iZotope plugins for these. Full respect to the devs

[@JakeyWakey]

I just uninstalled ozone 10. Good grief.

[@vicneve1169]

Matching to pink noise is a great way to balance the mix. Glad I watched the video until the end😁

[@briancase6180]

I watched this video a year and half ago, and I didn't see how I could really use all the features of nova ge. But now, I think I'm ready. Thanks! The free version of Nova has served me well. ☺️

[@RegisBladeStudios]

So I just bought the TDR bundle and didn't even realize about this .... HOLY SHIT I'M IN LOVE!! If only I'd had this 2 days ago!! *cries* best 130 bucks I've spent on anything audio!

[@Austin-vk1lw]

This is honestly next level. Hope you realize how much you revolutionize things

[@Mansardian]

Woah, just came from another DanWorral-video and was surprised to hear his voice here. Nice surprise!

[@magmakum4628]

I fucking love TDR and Dan Worrall.

[@sammiller9855]

There is a lot to love about TDR. Music mixers/producers on youtube don't talk enough about them. TDR offers some of the best free plugins on the market, with the option to upgrade them to more advance ones as you see in the video. My one criticism of this video are the ads in it, which is already an ad.

[@OWL.]

Mastering EQ will be my next buy. Im testing trial and im amazed how great this plugin is.

[@philburns5656]

What a phantastic function and a great tutorial. Just found this AFTER upgrading to the TDR Everything Bundle. Clearly confirming that my choice was right. Even without this, I thought that NOVA (GE) is one of the most powerful plugins on earth, as it can server as an EQ, a multi/single band comp/expander and everything in between. You could mix whole songs with it (with the exception of delay and reverb). But combined with these detection functions - boy. This is as mighty as hell.

[@nichttuntun3364]

Thank you for showing this wonderful features of the already wonderful plugins from TDR. They make such good plugins for such good prices. I learned something new. Thank you :)

[@MusokeMSK]

Props to TDR👏 i love their plugins

[@ThePickledOnions]

brilliant plugins with great tutorials. thanks

[@JF-fn2jq]

Your tuts are so well done Dan! I can listen to them several times and learn something new on each play.

[@jackdorsett740]

So good, wow. Makes my listening music sound even better.

[@foketesz]

Marvelous tools, and great sounding musical examples btw

[@palebluedotstudios]

Thanks for this. I had no idea about some of these absurdly powerful features! I'm glad I picked it up on sale!

[@jeffbridges6110]

I love their stuff. Their Kotelnikov , and EQ's are my favorite go to plugins. The free versions are fantastic as well.

[@adriandonal]

You're breathtaking

[@speckles9251]

Now the conclusion to spreading the free versions ... Smart Ops !

[@MixingGBP]

Outstanding. You’ve gained a subscriber and a GE edition buyer!

[@oinkooink]

WOW OK YEAH

[@andx4024]

thats is something what i thought about years ago. thank you for your plugins!

[@thorstenh.4750]

Gotta love sensei Dan.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

These videos are so well made. Great job!

[@v1o]

Fantastic stuff honestly!

[@seamasmanly]

Great videos! You make me want to spend money 🎉

[@SlateRiverLeather]

How can Smart Operations be used to suppress clicks, pops and other transients?

[@alex-desroches]

Thank you so much those are very instructive.

[@AizenIPlannedIt]

could this be possibly used for frequency masking?

[@MichaelMyersDoverPA]

Thanks for the section detailing how to make one microphone try to sound like another. This tutorial was very useful. Question - After I make the EQ profile of the second microphone, is there a way to save/convert that profile as an impulse response file? I see I can save it as a user preset in Nova GE. Thanks again for a really useful video!

[@videofoto555]

Здравствуйте. Подскажите где сохраняются пресеты у TDR Nova GE

[@Renato.P]

Anyone using bitwig 3? I can't use the learnt input in the other track , where i want to use it. The little cogwheels not light up next to the Learning button. Anyone has the same issue? Nor the AU neither the VST3 version works as in the video...

[@abrotherinchrist]

I had no idea my GEs had this feature. This explanation was GREAT. Thanks for another jam-packed with useful info tutorial Dan! BTW, what is the starting mic in this video? The tube shaped one at 7:28 (WA-47? K2?). It sounds way better than the TLM looking one.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

Having all 3 of them I find Nova`s smart operations best for almost everything, because it can do dynamic match/deresonate etc. However adding saturatuon and matching stereo pan are also important. Is it Ok to use all of them on 1 track/master track, or will it bring too much phase issues? Also can you add mp3 import into Slick M please?

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

Yes and yes. All our plugins can be put in series without any drawbacks. I'd start to get skeptical when a problem asks for more than 3 plugins, though. ;) Mp3 why not. I don't see how it would hurt anybody. Expect it in the next update.

[@bradfordsmithmusic]

I wish we could hear a bypass to compare to all the magic that is happening so I could be amazed by what TDR is creating. Or if there was a limited time demo of the programs would really help me to understand the potential. Or an example of this on a vocal track that had character that could be cleaned up, or is this a mastering process?

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

No, we don't have time limited demos. We offer unlimited demos, they just can't recall automatically (like analog devices). ;)

[@BukanIbuMu]

what's the recommended range of dynamic deresonate range for individual track?

[@adithyasatheesh127]

YESSS...!!!!!! DAN 🔥

[@louiecanaria9960]

hey guys! if i need to process both the mid and the side separately, do i just pull up two instances of the plugin?

[@JakeyWakey]

Yea, this needs to be in the plugin.

[@planetclay]

i'm confused as to how or why a new-jazzy bossa dance track would have less bass than a basic tutorial narration?

[@oscarguerra2012]

los videos de mastering están exelentes a que curso de formación corresponden.

[@sb848]

Smoothing option for detection would be amazing.

[@torbjorn.hedberg]

Great vid! One question: why does deresonate result in totally different responses in Slick EQ vs Nova?

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

That's because smartOps is basically a signal dependent preset generator for the plugin at hand. It has to use the means provided by the plugin it controls: Its function, its parameters and control range. Nova and SlickEQ cover different purposes and offer different sound parameters. SmartOps tries its best with whatever it has available. SlickEQ's results will likely be more on the smooth/least intrusive side, while Nova results will likely be more aggressive in nature.

[@torbjorn.hedberg]

@@TokyoDawnRecords In my tests, Nova looks more aggressive but sounds more smooth :). But they act on completely different frequencies even when configuring Nova to just three bands. That's what surprised me. Well, great products all the same!

[@mintyswirljoy]

When will you add the smart-ops feature to "match cultural reference"? :)

[@JakeyWakey]

Lol

[@JakeyWakey]

game changing features that no one has heard about.

[@va941]

Is Dan somehow linked with TDR?

[@alrecks619]

it's possible that Dan already liked the TDR plugins himself before TDR asked him to make a video on several of 'em.

[@lydfar2392]

You should make an or 20 bands version... Awesome!

[@paweplinta1565]

Bravo!

[@Simple-Guy]

Thanks!

[@richardaling5278]

So i guess it's pretty interesting to buy Nova-ge instead of my current free-one. I love the Slick eq-m-ge already:), but not the cpu-usage:(

[@sleepCircle]

just use the lowest quality version and turn on "highest quality for render"

[@TokyoDawnRecords]

CPU usage with TDR plugins is high because they default to a very high quality mode. It is equivalent to 4-8 times oversampling. Do not hesiate to use the ECO mode, antialiasing then still surpasses your average 2x oversampled plugin. Our conceptual background is mastering. Hence the high default quality.
