Introduction to NOVA and NOVA GE

NOVA is a parallel dynamic equalizer. Appearing in the familiar layout of a parametric equalizer, each band also includes a full featured dynamics section allowing the processor to cover an impressively wide range of applications.
Be it a master lacking density, the drum bus asking for more crispiness, or a sibilance problem in your perfect take: NOVA has an elegant answer.

i realize it is kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@jaxsamir3252]

@Terrell Kristopher Meh I would suggest Flixportal. just google after it :) -jax

[@terrellkristopher3091]

@Jax Samir Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!

[@jaxsamir3252]

@Terrell Kristopher glad I could help :D

[@kirkegodfrey414]

I KEEP recommending this video and NOVA to people because its a Killer explainer on a LOAD of techniques even if ya dont have Nova.

[@TomRivieremusic]

I would like to say; that you have picked great tunes on this tutorial.

[@kobalt77]

haha, yes I totally agree 10/10 tunes :)

[@abrotherinchrist]

This is becoming one of my favorite EQs along with Kotelnikov for bus compression.

[@bb-of3qz]

Love this plugin. They really did a great job on all the features plus it doesn't get in the way. Tokyo Dawn killed it on this one!

[@MikeVlcek]

Dan + Nova = greatness

[@lambd01d]

I use Nova on most tracks now. Very useful for problematic frequencies.

[@MegaFiredon]

Instant buy.... TAKE MY MONEY TDR these guys need to be supported they are doing great plugins and not the same renamed plugins that everyone does in this days i have Air Eq, S Bundle and many more plugins and none of them come near to this plugin guys please dont sell out to the big companies you are doing some AMAZING PLUGIN WORK you deserve a plugin award for your job!!

[@afrohawk]

The product is awesome and the video is so full of tricks and techniques it alone is worth watching 3 or 4 times. Thanks for the software and the video.

[@jackclay9145]

even 6 years later i’m learning new things about this amazing EQ lol even all this time passed i agree this thing should not be free! you guys have some of the best freeware selection out there

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Buy the GE version! 🎉

[@MarkArandjus]

I can't believe they managed to make a such a powerful, beautiful, and easy-to-understand VST. They even made an in-plugin help function (question mark in top right)!

[@SalParadise]

This is a class above most plugin reviews..and it's also free!

[@arthurmee]

Dan Worrall . . . does some of the best review/tutorials on KZbin

[@MattPoskito]

Dan is great at teaching the purpose of these tools. I finally understand what an expander is and why i should use it on my hi-hats

[@sampleandholdrecords]

The unmistakably smooth fab filter voice!

[@SleepyEyezCarter]

Downloaded yesterday.... it has been a major game changer for my work.... well worth it

[@ownedbymykitty270]

This and TDR Limiter 6 is all you need in your mastering chain.

[@austinsummersofficial631]

Thats, it, I'm officially speechless. I feel like an absolute idiot. I've been pretty heavy into the audio scene for a few years now. I've progressed to buying things like PCM Lexicon Reverb bundle, Slate bundles, and many, many, more plugins. I've spent thousands of dollars. Then, I come across a plugin that appears to be completely mind-blowing in what its capable of. For free? My brain asks, whats the catch. My brain, is used to spending a shit load of money, for audio quality. I can tell you something, if this plugin sounds as good as it appears to be, I will push this company and market it as much as I can possibly can. I'll find a way. Because damn, you'll have my respect. I'll be more than happy to pay for your gentleman's additions if you end up providing me with solutions. I was going to buy RND Steinberg Bundle(Neve Portico Emulations), as.. well.. I really do have a great respect for the Neve sound and Rupert Neve himself. I guess I wanted to have a full Neve signal path, since I have a Neve Portico 5012 Dual Channel Mic Pre and the mere thought of having a full signal chain thats neve, is.. well.. exciting. The plugs are 400 euros though. One problem. It hurts the wallet. A lot. But to be honest, I might not actually do that. I might just buy your plugins instead if they live up to the expectations and be happy for the rest of my life :P lol. Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to this one!

[@acidbath3226]

TDR Nova, Kotelnikov, and FerrisTDR are my favorite plugins by far

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Woohoooo Amaaaaazing !!! Love it 😍🤩👍👍👍🎶🎶

[@Lalaland.001]

@AustinSummersOfficial and are they in any way as good as you expected? I wonder how your experience is or was?

[@tredfxman]

@@acidbath3226 Fantastic! Thanks for the recomendations! 👍

[@kobalt77]

I was looking for a concise tutorial on how this ( NOVA) plug in works. I saw the name Dan Worrall, and the search ended there................... thank you Dan, much appreciated. ............... A few days later........... Holy crap, I had no idea this is such a powerful tool. I thought it was just an EQ.............. how wrong can a man be ? lol .............. Thank you so much TokyoDawn for this truly amazing FREE plug in, and thank you Dan for a perfect tutorial.............. Can't wait to try this out now.

[@DanielDeVidi]

You guys at TokyoDawn are insanely cool and it's unbelievable how you can deliver such cool and well sounding software also for free. Thanks a lot ever and ever.

[@Lazdinger]

These guys are so smart. They have some crazy Jedi mind tricks happening. I downloaded their free NOVA plugin - it has no restrictions, *no ads* (just a little inconspicuous heart button that shows you the “Gentleman’s Edition”), wysiwyg interface, intuitive - and I love it so much that I’m definitely getting the GE. What the cow?

[@cartematt]

The Nova GE is worth every cent. Very powerful.

[@Smurf431]

This has officially take over the spot that IQ4 has had for years....GREEEEEAT plugin, solid video....TDR is a company WORTH supporting IMHO!

[@JustinNathanielAdams]

Desert Island plugin right here

[@harungezici618]

I tried Kotelnikov and was blown away by it, so gave this a chance. After understanding the genius behind the concept of parallel eqing, I was blown away again. Best free plugins in the history of free plugins

[@chaddonal4331]

Is this THE EQ to rule them all? By 12 minutes in, my head is spinning! Just Wow!

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

As I write this ... there are 111 comments. ALL GOOD ! I just read literally every single one of them, and everyone of us is amazed and impressed and grateful and thankful and happy and we just love what you have done and we thank you and we are all blown away. Amazing product (s) Amazing presentation Amazing company ! Faithfully yours, Steve

[@rado3714]

So this plugin is AMAZING... obviously. But really I keep watching this over and over to hear the soothing voice and watch the elegant UI design. This is my new meditation video. Love you, Tokyo Dawn.

[@Hyzian]

The name of the guy in the video is Dan Worral. He has a youtube channel where he geeks out on EQs among other things and all of them feature his nice soothing voice. Highly recommend it!

[@rado3714]

@@Hyzian Ha. Thanks. Yeah. Since I posted this comment, I discovered his amazing channel.

[@ilyaorlov]

Fantastic explanation for a very complex and powerful plugin!

[@TheRealHucasys]

WTF?? I downloaded it and had to come look at the video because it seems so amazing. It sounds so smooth.

[@BuzzaB77]

my go to de-esser for professional work now. awesome work

[@ABOMEERZA]

Nova is my best MB plugin. I use it in all my session and in a lot of tracks

[@ArkmageEDM]

wow... and I thought an ordinary compressor was complicated to understand. this dude did a really good job of explaining it though, can't wait to get using it!

[@incomeinnovations247]

Dan da man, thanx for the explanation, i've been using nova ge for a while now , however i have learnt a lot of new powerful methods of utilising the nova in my mixes "sticky mode and wideband thing".tokyo damns always knock it out of the park with their awesome plugins

[@bigbillrecords]

Update: Just got Nova GE today. Just bought Limiter No. 6 GE yesterday and I have to get this one too next week. That way, I think I will be close to where I want to be in mixing and mastering. I should be very close to getting the sound I am looking for with these two.

[@overbe]

Thanks, Dan! Great explanation. Very powerful tool indeed.

[@metalinsights9664]

This plugin is wonderful, I use it on guitars to control room and cab resonances and low end buildup during palm mutes. I can't wait to get the GE version. It's the only EQ I'll ever need. TDR is such a cool company that makes so many great products (Kotelnikov, SlickEQ). Keep up the great job.

[@alwin7399]

I got the problem that the frequencies do not show up within the eq. All parameters etc. work greatly! :) It is a wonderful EQ, thank you! Can someone help me?

[@alandeacon1988]

What a really nicely put together demo for a really nicely put together product... Nice one Dan and Tokyo Dawn!

[@evertschut]

Without doubt my favourite plugin, and has been for years. This can't be free. About time I bought the Gentlemans Edition even though I'm not sure I really need the extra features. I've watched this vid at least 6 times before, and every time I understand one more of the amazing options the free version has. Now I'll have even more options with the GE. Nerd alert for sure!

[@nano7586]

Thank you for giving this out for free. I am so thankful.

[@seangrant2738]

Great tutorial...thanks Dan !

[@Goomer]

I've been using this for a short while, still don't really know what I'm doing, more practice and learning needed. I think it's an amazing tool, thanks so much.

[@chrisjamesbeats]

You guys are the best! I've been using a multiband compressor for mastering and now have to make the switch to parallel dynamic equalizing. Much better price than the Fab Q. I'm a hug fan of the VOS Slick Eq for individual tracks, the color it ads is so smooth and gentle. Glad I found this for my mastering needs! Also, the narrator of these videos has an awesome voice. It makes everything sound expensive, haha. But the price is incredible! Thanks again 👍🏽

[@teleportkontrola2006]

Fantastic plug-in! It totally deserves the title of best free plug-in in 2015 given by BPB. And great tutorial in addition, which is useful not only for grasp of using this effect, but explaining concept of dynamic EQ/compression generally!

[@TheQxY]

I'm late to the game and I just bought this during the BF sale, and I love it, already loved the free version. However, I do wish we had a Peak/RMS compression toggle and a knob to control the knee. These features would for me make multi-band compressors completely obsolete.

[@EqDior]

Still one of my fav plugins to this day!

[@brusecco]

i'm so glad i finally bought the GE version of NOVA! what a great plugin. hammer-arbeit, ehrlich!

[@VeziCaEu]

Budget Producer here... bought these together with limiter 6 GE and Molot GE... these plugins finally made me feel like i cracked a code for crisp sound mixing AND mastering... specially fond of the smart ops. in Nova... thx TDR

[@janiszaneribs7073]

One of the best EQs ever made.

[@ostneek]

Great plugs and great video! Thank you very much!!!!

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

Thank you Tokyo Dawn, Dan as always spectacular tutorial

[@boogiejos]

Great plugin! Very transparent and a great tool to work with. I am also using the 'Kotelnikov': another great tool by TokyoDawnRecords. Thanx

[@tablatom]

Awesome plugin and an awesome tutorial. Now time to get it on my master busses.

[@patriciooc]

Astonishing.... really impressive!

[@eco9LOG]

thank you TDR

[@MiaKoo]

Downloaded a new Dynamic EQ and learned how to master from this video lol!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are INSANE!!

[@Learndigitalaudio]

Great plugin and a great video!

[@SKCSK792]

Amazing work ! Especially you give it for free. Hats off

[@TheBelse]

Bought the GE version because the free version sounded so refined. It's definitely a contender for the best free plugin. Thanks TDR....amazing.

[@antoniusguntoro2052]

Thanks for this!

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Fantastic video

[@alrecks619]

haven't thought of using upwards expansion to retain the punch of the drums while keeping the guitars clear as day.

[@dirthutstudios9650]

helpful!!! love u guys at TDR Dawn Records,....life savers

[@jakobole]

Used in every mix here - on acoustic elements especially - it'll only subtract when needed, else, leave be, with the right settings. Love it. / Sonic Peak Studio

[@NovoRecords]

Esse EQ é simplesmente maravilhoso,

[@Cubasenet33]

Absolutely impressive!!

[@malikmartin]

Holy sh*7! There isn't a plugin walkthrough on the net cooler that your EQ videos lol!

[@malikmartin]

I swear so entertaining. I forget what I'm doing...

[@riloh58]

Want to say thank you for this plug. It's fantastic. When I picked it up, I'm pretty sure there was no GE option, only free version (quite a while ago now).

[@AlbertWeijers]

This is great!

[@jan-paulmosterdijk9710]

incredible plugin!

[@quetzalmarchiori]

Thank you, you make amazing tools!!! Plus, great tutorials...

[@olo-burrows]

This plug-in truly is insane in its capabilities! Ironically, the speaker's voice could have used some compression to pump up the volume, pump up the volume.

[@inangelic]

Outstanding!!!

[@andx4024]

one of the best tools i ever seen

[@VergeMusicWorks]

Excellent!

[@mikosoft]

I stumbled upon these videos today (Slick, Kotelnikov and Nova) and all I can say is that for two years now I was using your plugins wrong or rather - not using them to the full potential at all. Thanks for these videos, I might just use your plugins more in the whole signal chain.

[@2ndMOUSEofficial]

Incredible potential. It really is a swiss army knife, with so many applications. Love it !!

[@nkunziesbayeni501]

great plugin great intro track

[@EdwinDekker71]

TDR plugins are just the best.

[@mplstb]

an outstanding plug-in.. I've been using it on more and more individual tracks and the 2 buss... so clear and nice!

[@jeremymardis5590]

+Tom Boblett this actually competes to hardware , a great plugin , this will be for all your needs in eq and compression that anyone will ever need , the best thing to this plugin is that it is for free .

[@mplstb]

+Jeremy Mardis I went ahead and paid for the GE version and am very happy I did.

[@jobimboy]

thanks guys i love the plugin, your awesome.!!!

[@DjangoFlaherty]

Excellent video! Downloaded the standard edition immediately. If anyone's wondering, it has sidechain capabilities as well.

[@kievonJSmoothSoul]

I'm still trying to figure out how to use it though. I need help....

[@Notacet]

Totally awesome. One feature request: Would be nice to have a button to link a single band to the wideband compressor to create a wideband De-esser!

[@stevewatkins5659]

Very interesting and informative thanks

[@theceruleandolphin2829]
