    Can I ask you please to take a look at the plugin called AutoGain from Hirnet Plugins. They have few releases from Classic, to Pro MKII. It seems like a good Alternative for vocal rider. Question is, if it does the job as it should. I hope this is interesting and perhpas you can make a video about it. Best of luck Mike!

    This appears to be be a great eq especially considering it's free. Pro-Q 3 is one of the few plugins that I've purchased with no buyers remorse, I absolutely love all Fab Filter plugins, but they are a bit pricey. I will probably download this to play with, but don't think it will be my "go to" eq.

      @@CreativeSauce TDR Nova GE can also do this, but I don't think the free edition can. Kirchhoff is even more flexible, you can trigger the band based on the relative level of two different frequency ranges (e.g. voice range vs. sibilance range), but it's a bit fiddly to use.

  • @EricJohnson-fh8zj
    @EricJohnson-fh8zj Před měsícem

    Thanks for the review. I heard it is pretty cpu hungry tho. Any thoughts on that aspect? Did you try multiple instances on a larger resource intensive project? Id be interested, but if its a cpu hog...id rather just use a different eq.

    I don't understand what the collision detection is doing. The manual says it compares the main-chain signal and the side-chain signal. In my testing, I had one track and no side-chain, but it still detects collisions. what gives?
