Wavesfactory Equalizer - Automatically EQ Your Tracks like soothe??

[@palebluedotstudios]

What do you think of the new Wavesfactory Equalizer? Do we have a new contender for best spectral correction plugin? Let me know in the comments below! ⬇

[@darlingtonpersonal]

I cant believe people are sleeping on this pluging, the most uswful eq plugin out there, just amazing, i put it on a muddy mix and it gave me instant learity, i cant stress this enough , go get it, if you want an easy life as an engineer or a proucer in general.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Agreed! It's cheap, even when it's not on sale! Much, much better than Smooth Operator and even more expensive competitors. Well-said, my friend!

[@RayTheProducer]

Great review. Trackspacer was a true revelation for serious producers. This is a terrific and useful beginners tool. I do love that GUI too. Perhaps it might need more features but I love this company.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Thanks! I think you nailed it. Definitely a great beginner tool, but I think it has greater dividends for those with more experience too. That being said, I do find myself still using Trackspacer and the more familiar tools for these mixing issues. Thanks for watching!

[@bg4productionsllc]

So you prefer Trackspacer or SmartComp? I like Fuser as well@@palebluedotstudios

[@Luke-ot6mk]

Fantastic plugin, amazing review! Tanks!

[@palebluedotstudios]

Amazing! So glad to be of help, and thanks so much for watching! Cheers!

[@garrettjrussell]

Great video, I love this plugin. Your review was spot on. Their Trackspacer plugin is one of the best plugins that has ever been created and I'm starting to feel the same about this one. It just instantly balances and makes almost anything better.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Agreed! I think Wavesfactory gets overlooked quite often, and this reminds me: I need to make a Trackspacer video! Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@claudius3124]

Great review! Most informative and thorough I've seen so far... Spot on! ;-)

[@palebluedotstudios]

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate that. Stay tuned, I have a review of Techivation's M-Clarity coming out soon. Cheers!

[@DSWL_]

thanks just picked this up

[@palebluedotstudios]

Awesome! Glad this was helpful. Cheers!

[@martincipi6752]

Top plug in ❤ try it as parallel.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Oh, like two in a row?

[@bg4productionsllc]

Dam I love Smart EQ as well and was about to upgrade, I wonder if they can be used in tandem

[@palebluedotstudios]

Smart EQ is a bit different, but the killer app with that is the group-processing; so easy to make space in your mix with that!

[@maxlambiel]

Sounds like a better Gullfoss tbh, but Idrk about soothe, as others already said. Seems promising, although I'd like to have this but with an approach more alike the Sonible smart stuff of even the Izotope Neutron stuff.

[@palebluedotstudios]

I see. Like, where it scans your input and adjusts to a target?

[@maxlambiel]

Yeah! I would go as far as to allow it to train your own targets much like the Izotope stuff. In the end you can always agree or disagree with the result to various degrees, and with this controls that judgment call would be as deep as it can get.

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@maxlambiel ​ @maxlambiel I like the idea of being able to train your own targets. I guess ultimately this is more like soothe and Gullfloss, where it's up to us to decide on processing.

[@bg4productionsllc]

50 percent off right now , I'm on it

[@palebluedotstudios]

It's a great choice! Again: if you are choosing between this and smart EQ upgrade, I'd go for smart EQ, because it's so powerful, and only $40 right now. But Equalizer is great for the price.

[@bg4productionsllc]

BRO, did you say this is better than RESO...wow, I was just about to buy reso. I already have smooth operators. It's ok. But I love Reso trial. . Decisions decisions.

[@palebluedotstudios]

I wasn't crazy about RESO, I didn't like how it worked. Check out my review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXm8oo2Kja-ZqbM

[@suarezlifestyle]

Soothe and this one does different things, for different purposes

[@palebluedotstudios]

I think there are some similarities. They both attempt to automatically balance a signal, but soothe operates more in the spectral domain, with some very complex background operations; but they both dynamically respond to the signal. Definitely some differences. An interesting comparison for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@TheQxY]

@@palebluedotstudios This comment really highlights your ignorance. I'd remove this video.

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@TheQxY Alrighty then

[@greedokenobi3855]

Indeed, it’s more more comparable to Gullfoss and TEOTE.

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@greedokenobi3855 I think that's fair. I did mention Gullfoss, but forgot TEOTE. I need to do a video on that one...cheers!

[@Drumsdude123]

thank you for the review!! is it possible to use it in a chain mode in order to unmask?

[@palebluedotstudios]

Good call, I had the same thought. Unfortunately, it appears that there is no sidechain on this, so that's where Smooth Operator has this beat. Cheers!

[@kaislate]

In the first example, the added clicking noise was making it worse. Same with the drums though not as noticeable... Might be youtube shenanigans.

[@palebluedotstudios]

I noticed a weird sound when listening on my TV, so I think you're right. Damn you, transcoding!!

[@kaislate]

@@palebluedotstudios I've noticed across several videos showcasing different plugins and tips and such that it has gotten worse. KZbin seems to be normalizing and compressing in a way that is not conducive to music creators. Simultaneously reducing payouts and increasing KZbin premium subscription costs. I don't know why or for what purpose, but 🤔 it seems to be a detriment for the time being. It's unclear if odysee, bitchute, rumble, etc are viable alternatives, but at the very least it seems prudent to mirror all content there. The ever increasing bit reduction of streaming media is crushing.

[@jessicad.555]

The most similar plugin to this is Voxengo Teote, wich sounds better to my ears.

[@palebluedotstudios]

good call. I need to do a video on that, I tried it when it came out, but need to profile it in more detail. Cheers!

[@pernormann4869]

True, but teote's interface isn't as intuitive as this seems to be.

[@bg4productionsllc]

How is CPU usage?

[@palebluedotstudios]

CPU is minimal! You could run this on multiple tracks. There is some latency, though.

[@ES60Hz]

Am I the only one that hears it restless? Nobody mentioned it on KZbin, All you say guys that you like it very much, but nobody mention the restless artifacts caused by it.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Pardon me: what is a "restless" artefact? I definitely heard artefacts, or pumping, at higher settings.

[@ES60Hz]

@@palebluedotstudios You can call it pumping for your understanding, but it sounds worse than pumping because it happens in 32 bands, so I call it restless, I can hear it even when the main knob is on 30 and attack and release are on minimum - if you want to hear it, just a-b test between this and a standard EQ

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@ES60Hz Ah, OK: that is definitely what I meant by "pumping", or unnatural jumps in gain. Yes, you have to be light with this unless you want restless EQ!

[@Mi_Mono]

I appreciate critical feedback like this. Great note!

[@thegroove2000]

I do not want any boosting as I depend on analog for additive duties is that possible?

[@thegroove2000]

YES SUBTRACTIVE I SEE IT.

[@thegroove2000]

Nice.

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@thegroove2000 Good call, my friend!! I agree: I'm a subtractive EQ man myself, but I liked the light boosting on the guitar example. But you wouldn't want to do that on every track. 😂

[@JuanJacinto]

Paradoxically, for me the best additive EQ plugin is also from WavesFactory, and that is Spectre. So I will see what Equalizer proposes, and do it myself, with Spectre.

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@JuanJacinto Thanks for reminding me of Spectre! Yes, that's a great plugin. More of an exciter than a dynamic EQ, but would probably be safer for boosting as you'd be adding harmonic content to the signal. Let me know what you find! Cheers!

[@dernuniverse9813]

Voxengo teote

[@palebluedotstudios]

I am WAY overdue for reviewing that one. I recall it being a bit strange, like a lot of his plugins, but it deserves attention! Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers!

[@TheQxY]

This thumbnail title is stupid. Soothe's goal 8s to suppress resonant frequencies, Equalizers goals is to balance the power of the frequency spectrum. Don't review tools you do not understand.

[@palebluedotstudios]

Thanks for your comments, very valid points. I would counter with the notion that all of these plugins are attempting to attenuate frequencies to a desired goal, and both plugins allow you to emphasize and de-emphasize frequencies, with an eye to achieving a balanced signal. If you give both these plugins resonant signals, they'll both act on it, but with perhaps different methods and philosophies. Thanks for watching!

[@doriangrey7742]

it's annoying that you're reading and it shows. You should talk naturally, like other reviewers

[@palebluedotstudios]

Thanks for the feedback. I struggle with extemporaneous speaking, I have ADHD, so I found I have to rely on reading from scripts. I can definitely improve on the "naturalness" of my speech, you're totally right! But I will be reading from scripts, probably until the heat-death of the universe, hahaha! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!

[@mthomas1091]

It’s not annoying at all 🙄 I like straightforward info

[@palebluedotstudios]

@@mthomas1091 Thank you!

[@shmk1]

Don’t be a dick bro. Is the information good? Yes!

Can't do the AI sounding voice.
