If this is anything like the Mk2, the "Tight" is actually a bell cut before you reach the 11 o'clock position on the Process knob. The cut gets more exaggerated as you turn up the Process if the Bass is closer to or on 0. This cut will gradually be reduced and eventually turn into a bell boost as you continue to turn both knobs to the right. The "Soft" is always a resonant shelf boost at a slightly lower frequency. The Mid-Hi Tune behaves the same no matter what. I never quite got what I wanted out of it before I figured this out.

Would you say that the vitalizer is a contender against the HG-2?? seems like that and more to me....and smaller price tag.

I bought the Mk2 some months ago for only 200 bucks. Really great unit I have it at the end of my mixbus. There is definitely something going on with phase because I used it on acoustic guitar and printed the track, then put it on the mixbus and the guitar sounded really wierd. So don’t run anything twice through it you’ll get some phase issues. For the mixbus it’s amazing and I would never sell my unit. I have the vitaliser plugin too but I tell you the hardware is so much better, highly recommended just like the PQ, the Iron and the Transient Designer the SPL stuff rocks 🤟🏼

Would it make sense run it as an insert of SSL fusion, followed up by Cranaby EQ... Then back to PC for digital limiting. I know that all of these are quite colorful units and any advice on improving/switching chain order would be a greatly appreciated. As well explaining the chain logic, as I'm still a rookie in the hardware world. (General use would be BUS and 2BUS processing)

Unfortunately, there’s too much to cover in a reply to a comment on KZbin. But that might be a great video idea itself. I will say I really like Audix D6 on Tom’s. A pair of condensers, large, or small on overhead. A pair of ribbon, or figure 8 condenser on rooms. Everything other than that that is subject to change, depending on the room, and vibe we are going for. I will say getting the room Wright is probably more important than anything. A fairly live room with zero slap issues is what I typically go for.

Is it really okay to trigger the overload light so many times? Wouldn't reducing the "Drive" signal lead to a better/cleaner result? I suspect for this version it's the same "secret" as with the old ones we know from decades ago: The more subtle the settings the better the result.

@ColtCapperrune did you also notice an external humming from the power supply? Try standing behind the unit. I can hear it clearly from half a meter. Even worse, there is a humming in the signal path if the device is active. Very low in volume, yes, but hearable especially when you push a signal with compression etc. Anyone else? SPL says the external humming comes from the transformer, although I have no other gear that does this at this volume. And the signal humming is a no go. They should have used an external power supply.

hi, i actually noticed a humm in the signal chain as well when you push the ON Button.

So basically its fine but it still botheres me :/

@@testlab6643 I agree, i want to love the Vitalizer, but this is very unfortunate. I actually had a call with SPL yesterday and they listened to the humm. He told me, that the humm isnt internal but the issue is somewhere in my setup/ my electricity which could make sense but at the end of the day, the Vitalizer is still my only piece of gear with internal humm. Everything else is dead quiet. Would be interesting to hear the experience from more people.

@@Emode_prod What they told you is bs. I emailed with them too and although your setup can be the culprit, it most likely is the trafo (power supply). That were their words. And if it isn't too loud, it is normal. I tested two different units on different power outlets and in two studios. It is the SPL Vitalizer MK3 that is humming. Internally and externally. The went cheap and that is the result.

Interesting machine. It’s interesting how it enhances a good mix. But if the mix assembled poorly in any way, this machine just multiplies those imperfections several times over.

Great Review Colt! How do you find this compared to the RND MBT? I get that the MBT has other features, but the ones that are comparable. ie. the EQ, harmonic saturation, and width. If you had to choose one or the other based on those shared features?

@ColtCapperrune 3 ай бұрын
Thanks! They’re not really comparable to me. There is no saturation, or general compression in this box. So that’s why, at least for me, I would need to use it in conjunction with other things. That said, the MBT also does not have a traditional compressor in it, so I would need at least a compressor along with that box as well.

@@ColtCapperrune Thanks for the reply! I use an SSL G Comp on my Mix bus and was considering buying the RND MBT based on your review to pair with it. But this looks like it does some similar things and is significantly cheaper. How did you find the mono compatibility in the "stereo expander"? Is it comparable to the SPL Big or the MBT Width?

Leave it to SPL to make a box that’s worth buying for ONE of the controls lol. Same with the SPL BiG for me lol. The bass air band gets used more than anything else when I have it out lol

How would you compare to the SSL Fusion?
@ColtCapperrune
@ColtCapperrune 3 ай бұрын
They are not really comparable in my opinion, the SPL is more traditional, EQ, plus saturation. This is a totally unique take on bus, equalization, and that base knob is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen.

Interesting! As a very satisfied Fusion owner, I’ve never really looked round at much of the other “2Bus” esque processing stuff on the market, but this looks like it might be quite a cool addition to the chain…and those two points on the patchbay aren’t gonna fill themselves! 😂 Cheers for the reply dude!

It would make a great mastering tool! In the second song, that was the printed mix. I just opened up the mastering session, and absolutely love what it added.

Really not trying to be a naysayer and it sounds incredible, But im assuming you mixed into the box the whole time and didn't just add it at the end. As such the whole mix was just straight up missing this the whole time. Unless you didn't mix into it the whole time in which case damb that's goooooood!!!!!!!

Tight function audibly diminishes the low-end, wouldn't go near it. Widener average. The rest sounded nice.
