Thank you Krista, I just saw your donation and wrote you a quick thank you note. It really makes a difference to me when people are kind enough to support financially, thank you! ♥
Cheers! Thing is, it's not actually that crazy at all tbh. There is a lot going on with this UI. It took me an entire day of morning to night work to learn this app and to prep and make the video, and that was rushing under time pressure. And yet this dev's apps are not available through sites that offer affiliate links like Plugin Boutique. So nobody really has much financial incentive to cover it, or at least not to cover it thoroughly. My vid currently has about 1000 views, which translates to about £2-£3 of TH-cam ad revenue. It will likely never get more than a few thousand views, so...no mystery tbh! 🤷♂️
So this is no ordinary run-of-the-mill EQ. It’s a Swiss army knife to dissect your sound with surgical precision.Oh, and congratulations with your first major milestone. Let this milestone be a stepping stone to more, much more subscribers.
I bought it, how could I skip on this one?! So many filters in this EQ, actually 482 of them. Also, it will replace my TB Spectrogram, and I use this tool a lot. Thank you for the fantastic walkthrough, and congratulations on 10k subs! 🥳 I wish you so many times more. 🙏
Good review, thank you. This EQ offers so much, with a really nice and well designed interface, and with such high quality, that I will certainly buy it. This developer has been around for a long time, and knows his stuff really well. IMO he deserves our consideration and support. And thanks again for the video, nice work! Cheers.
I dream of 10000 followers, mate. I’ve been in here 12 years and only have 350 or so. All I do is original music, which doesn’t seem to pique people’s interest. Mind you, my stuff is hardly commercial. Anyway, I dig your channel.
Thank you. I listened to your latest track on your YT, it sounded quality. TH-cam is tough - it's really hard to stand out from the crowd, and especially, I think, if just making music. Wish I could give some advice, lol. Maybe just focus on playing out in your local scene. TH-cam is really saturated and music in general is a very hard niche to stand out in these days. Good luck tho!
That would be great - I’m seriously hanging on by a thread here! Don’t want to quit but I can’t do this without more support from devs and viewers. Cheers!
10k, gold to see you reached a new „milestone“ - I pray, that also your Patreon will reach more members soon! And your pluginboutique affiliate link, too! Great Video on Toneboosters New Plugin. What really makes me curious about it are the „focusing“ algorithms (like bg,…)
Hi! You won a ToneBoosters app for iOS, congrats. You must reply to me within 24 hours tho, otherwise you'll forfeit your prize. Time limits are needed as delays in one person replying cause delays for me, the dev and other winners. The sooner you reply the better! So please do two things ASAP: shoot me a reply to this message when u see it, and send me an email too, letting me know which ToneBoosters app you want. My email address can be found on the About section of my TH-cam channel. Cheers!
Thanks for video. Really sad to hear your struggles to make a living wage from all your hard work. I wish I could support you financially and will if my circumstances change as I have learned so much from your work.
Thanks man! If you are struggling yourself, I wouldn’t expect support! I think though that there are lots of people in this niche though for whom $5 or $10 a month would be a small or even tiny ask, and who also value my vids, so I hope more of those viewers read this and decide to support, either on Patreon or through one-time donations. Same goes for devs. Another reason I share these stats though is that every TH-camr in this niche is struggling like crazy - it’s important that people understand this. If someone isn’t into my stuff, but likes another TH-camr more - go support them! It’s also important to put this info out there to prevent others trying their hand at iOS music TH-cam as even a side hustle - by the time you realise how brutal this niche is, you’re already balls deep lol. 😅 Better to know in advance and just not to go there. If I had known back in April 2020 how things would have panned out by September 2024, I would definitely not have started this channel. But the story is not over yet, so maybe enough people will support and this will have a happy ending after all. Thanks for your wishes and concern!
It’s clear the passion and enthusiasm you have for the iOS music community. You and literally a handful of other still doing it which seems crazy with the potential of iPad for music production in 2024. Have you thought about collaborating with other musicians and iOS content creators for live streams or recorded videos. I wonder if stronger together is the way forward for our niche community.
@bazzmundo From the data I have seen and from what I have heard from others, no-one is doing well in this space. I just don’t know how people like Doug keep grinding away putting out so many vids when the view counts are so poor and so many watch behind ad blockers. Collabs might add subs, but I don’t think they would lead to much growth in my Patreon numbers or people donating. I already spent 4.5 years building up a loyal community on TH-cam, giving away many tens of thousands of bucks worth of apps to viewers, and giving amazing exposure and sales increases to devs. Anyone who is fairly serious about iOS music surely already knows my channel. If they are not serious, they are irrelevant to the topic at hand, as they would not become paying supporters. So, even among the hardcore iOS fans and regular app buyers who make up my audience, it is still very difficult to get people to donate or sub to Patreon. Even a Patreon like mine which is not a tip jar but is incredibly active, and where anyone who participates regularly in giveaways has easily won more value in apps than they have actually paid in Patreon fees. Growth of the subscriber count is basically irrelevant, because it would take years for my channel to even double in size, but the income from ad revenue would still be so tiny as to be insignificant. For small channels and niches, the slice of ad revenue is actually likely to diminish over time, as there are constantly more creators, but viewers are limited in how much time they can spend a day watching. TH-cam is already oversaturated. Given how little my Patreon has grown since I started it earlier this year - I have about 35 paying members currently, which is the same as I had in April, I am very pessimistic that it will be much bigger come 2025. Even if I plowed along doing TH-cam for another 5 years, I think ad revenue would still be tiny. Posts like my community post of a few days ago are some of my last cries for help. I might make a video about it. But unless I see a major uptick in community support I can’t keep investing all the mad amount of time into this that I’ve done over these few years. Man can’t live on passion alone, I need a bit of financial security, so quitting or a major pivot of some kind might be the only solutions. It would be a different matter if my vids just involved sitting down and waffling, but my work here involves a lot of time, a lot of learning, a lot of experimentation, a lot of admin. Thanks again for your concern.
I can really hear your pain and it’s so sad. For your own well being and mental health it might be better to have this as more of a hobby and find something better paid. You would be greatly missed but it’s it not worth your health or sanity and you could post infrequently when you had the chance. I sincerely hope things start to improve, you deserve it.
10k! Yeah! 🎉 Now, if just 10% come over to your Patreon, that would be a good start! 😎 Thanks for the video! This looks quite extensive with a functional and appealing UI.
An excellant vid. The gravinski effect….. now ill have to buy it because seeing is believing . Youre a danger to my bank account i hope you got paid for this 12 hours? If not i might have to send you some money over the next week or so…. See how it goes
That's a host app for iPad / iPhone called AUM. I have a spoken walkthrough on it here on my channel: Almost Everything You Need to Know About AUM. I'll also do an updated and expanded video on it very soon, keep an eye out!
I don't know. But I have a problem installing the ToneBoost application. No - I can't start it - it's like a ghost. It's there - but it's not there. What's the matter?
I almost never use FF plugins on iOS as I don’t think the UIs work very well on smaller screens. As to whether it is worth upgrading from the original TB EQ app - that is the question this video answers, so if you watch it you will have your answer!

Thanks! I saw the 482 filters stat, but didn't really see how there are that many, u understand how they worked that out?
@@GavinskisTutorials Every dB cut is actually a filter. 😅
@BreakSpace yeah, I think I might have to call bullshit on that number! As far as I see there are about 30-something filter options.
10k thanks for pointing that out. Much deserved, cheers to the next 10k

Played with it for a few hours, clarified some questions in the manual and just bought it!
Thanks for the compliment. And yes, this dev puts a lot of thought into his apps, great dev imo
Danke Dir Gavinski, for this wonderful walkthrough. Allways a pleasure!
Thnx Nobatt ♥
Interesting, need to watch this in full.
Congrats on the new 10k milestone!
Thanks Eyal!
Intentionally watched several ads. I know it’s not much, but maybe others can support in their own way. Cheers Gav.
Thanks man! If everyone watched a few, it would help. Appreciate it pops!
You are very welcome. Hopefully others will follow suit, cheers!
Nicely done. A really strong equalizer app; I'm impressed. (I chimed in on your community post as well.) Thank you, Gav.

Didn't think I'd need another EQ, but this looks really interesting. Excellent presentation
I like your explanations on what this EQ offers. Very useful.

Informative walkthrough, thanks! Super sophisticated EQ. Nice to have that on IOS.
Great insight on this EQ Pro, thanks
Glad it was useful 👍

So: "Now you too can be among the 1%!" 😎
Great EQ. Thank you for the detailed walkthrough!.
What a beast of an EQ. Thx for the demo
Thanks a lot for the walkthrough! I have the non Pro TB Equalizer and like it ! 👍 Looking for the Upgrade-Bundle, it’s 13€ here in Germany… 👀 😎
Another great tutorial Gavinski. Thx a lot!
Thx for this detailed walkthrough.
Looks very useful for sound design.
5 figures!! Awesome dude. 💥
Essential EQ app. Thanks Gavin

Aww man I just bought their older equalizer like a month ago.
Ah that sucks. But... If you paid full price for it, this new one will be a cheap upgrade if you use the bundle to upgrade
Thanks for demoing it. 🤞🏻
Awesome release! Thanks for the video!
Bedankt
Thank you Hans, I appreciate it!

Is it worth upgrading if you have TB EQ normal and FabFilter pro q3?

@@GavinskisTutorials ok i will do it qhen i have some free time to watch it patiently
If you don’t have Eventide’s split eq, then this would be worth the upgrade just for the transient filters. This is a lot cheaper than Split EQ.
Bought!
Ok cool!
I can only imagine the phase shift a 96 dB filter causes. ((((
True. I'd never heard of a filter that steep before.
