![]() ![]() In mid-side I can be more aggressive on a center panned vocal without major impact on the guitars, etc. ![]() This is another tool I almost always use in m-s mode. This is also a great tool on drum overheads when there is one particular cymbal that gets overly harsh or piercing. Sometimes if you EQ out the harshness overall on a master, the vocals can sound dull on the non-harsh parts. One great example of this is when you have a singer that gets harsh or nasally only in a certain register. There are a lot of things you can do with them, but mostly I am using them on masters when there are certain parts of a song where one frequency gets really unpleasant. If you are not familiar with dynamic EQs, they are basically EQs that only work when the amount of energy in one frequency range exceeds a threshold. This is a fantastic tool for fixing intermittent frequency problems. It is probably good at that, but I have other hardware and software tools I like to use for boosting. Honestly, I cannot think of the last time I have boosted with this EQ (except when using the bass or presence shift). I almost always use it in mid-side mode so I can sort out problems in the middle or the sides without having too much impact on the areas that do not need the fix. It has very flexible clean EQ and tools to fix problems with stereo imaging. I use this as the first step in my digital mastering chain as a problem solving tool. It took me a while to wrap my head around the intimidating interface, but once I did, I got hooked. This list is not meant to tell you what would be the best deal, or even to tell you which of these plugins are the best, but only which ones I use day in and day out working on albums, video games, etc. I am just putting this together to share some info about what I use and why. I have never received a penny for recommending products from any company, so it makes no difference to me if you get in on that offer or not. ![]() So I thought about it and put this list together. That got me thinking about what my top 10 plugins are from Plugin Alliance would be. “Rent” any 10 of their plugins for $29 for 29 months. Plugin Alliance just announced an interesting new PickPack “rent to own” marketing idea. This has given me the opportunity to get some NFRs for a bunch of the other plugins they sell (NFR means I get it for free, but can never sell or transfer the license). ![]() I have bought a lot of plugins from Plugin Alliance, and since becoming friends with the guys that run the company, I have helped them out with some volunteer beta testing and I have used some of their plugins in my videos (some of which they put on their website). ![]()
