    I've seen a lot of your videos, I respect your aproach, but for people like me who are musicians trying to do music in cheap home studios, call them demos, call them whatever you like, (not everybody can pay for professional productions) all this type of plugins can be very helpful. I get the feeling that many of your viewers will be in the same situation as I am, because if you're a professional, why watch this when you have all the knowlegde at your disposal and the gear to do it right?? Just something to consider.

      a person with bad treatment in a room and alright microphone will see this plugin as a lifesaver. if you technically wake up in a professional studio and only knowing the best ...then yea this plugin becomes a tool you mostly wont use and probably in the longterm useless besides opening it up 2 a 3 times just to acknowledge you have the plugin. For me since i record myself traveling around the world. its good to have this plugin because you wont always arrive in a perfect room.

      No. Sorry. I completely understand what you’re saying, but the truth is that as an amateur producer in 2024 with any modern DAW, you have, for free the most insane set of tools to learn to do what most of these plugins do.
      Listen to what this guy is saying. Fix the sound at the source first (learn about how sound frequencies interact), then if there’s stuff in the mix interacting in a way that it makes resonances, you don’t need a third party plug-in to fix that. You have what you need, you just need to learn how.
      Here’s the craziest part! It’s 2024 and you have so much more access to good, free knowledge on how to do this, but these companies profit on a person’s lack of willingness to actually spin the time and effort to learn a craft and learn to do something well.
      As a person who wants to make their one music and get it sounding great, you’re among the luckiest people to have ever done it.
      Don’t waste money on stuff you can learn to do yourself.

    All recording is not about songs and synthesizers. I find these plugins, especially useful, as I am experiementing with sound, a process that has been causing problems in the improvised recordings of experiemntal styles since before I was born, and historically many albums have had problems that could be resolved by stuff like this plugin without the right people with the right approach to take care of them. Music isn't just about professional recording procedures. That is why music no longer requires expensive studios and mastering etc. This plugin will also help out anyone not using the right settings in things like iZotope's Ozone (which doesn't not provide such great visual feedback). etc., etc. ... still have your rant about it from your 'studio perspective'. Fair enough :)

      wa2k360 no you get that, old school engineers used to call it a hot spot and can be caused by a natural resonance within the guitar, speaker or even valve (listen to a microphonic ax7 valve if you want to hear real resonance). You can hear it and you can sweep it with a traditional eq and notch it, but if it's something you have to do regularly then yeah this is a time saver. I'm fairly sure the op didn't mean he routinely tries to find resonances even if a track sounds fine, at least I hope not. Seems to me that's all this plugin is doing albeit it seems to do it quite well.

      @@MrClarkio This plugin removes only small peaks of resonance in the AI mode, which means it's good to start a mix with the tracks cleaned up if they need to. Yeah, notching is good, but you need to cut too much if you want it removed properly. This is a great plugin to use in the initial track stage and the first plugin in the mixbus stage, on smart AI, it will softly remove some of the harshness so that you don't have to deal with it later on. It's a workhorse without being drastic.

    I think you get the most from these plugins if you're sound designing harsh distorted stuff or if you record audio in a resonant room. In my workflow, I put a lot of distortion and weird shit in my chains so it's helpful to have a quick soothe. Let's me quickly cut out a lot of crap and proceed to the next task I have in my mind at the moment, it's really in the creative process. Whenever I record though, I have to control quite a lot of bad room resonances, cause my room is really small. In this case, Mastering the Mix's solution isn't quick enough for me. Either way I'd go for pro q and add a few dynamic bells or put sooth if there are too many spikes in the spectrum I'd rather not have.

    @matthisschwarz2227 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the reason why these type of plugins are popular is that so many people are recording things in small untreated rooms at close range. Those type of scenarios are just so prone to produce yucky comb filtering or resonances. And since the effects change with varying distance and angel it's sometimes hard to deal with them with just an EQ. If you have a decently sized room that is treated, don't have to record everything super close, oe just generally know what you're doing when you're micing things up, you'll run into a lot less problems like that. However we all mess up a recording like that every now and then, so I guess if those plugins are a good way to fix it just find one that works for you and done.

  • @Beatsbasteln

    i love resonance surpression plugins. i have not tested this one but soothe2 is the one i use already. i'm doing exactly what you like the least: throwing it on random material to see what it does. but unlike what you said i don't do that because i "trust" it to always make things better automatically, but i use it because i have experienced that sometimes there are certain resonances that are quite masked in my perception and that plugin brings my attention to these details. then i can still decide if or how much i want of it. i'm often listening to some really old music from times before music was processed digitally and i love the vibe. but still i just can't help but think that it would have been cool if they have had the same technology we have. ofc that's kind of a simplified thought because if they had resonance surpression in the mix they'd also have it in sounddesign already and some sounds would have been made completely differently, but if you image this kind of processor only being available in the mix in the 60s already there'd've been a lot of trippy tracks with a smoother mix that you can turn much louder before it's getting kinda annoying, and i really like that thought

    Time is a luxury when hitting.deadlines and such. Plugs like this really help move the process along.

I definitely picked it up (highly recommend it for those who have a hard time hearing and identifying problematic frequencies)

    • @AlextheBant
      @AlextheBant 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly, you can just use pro Q. This plugin doesn't save any time. It identifies a bunch of frequencies that aren't resonances you need to cut and what it does can easily be done with other plugins.

  • @palebluedotstudios
    @palebluedotstudios 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    That's what I found too: it creates a bunch of nodes that have to be deleted. I got the best results just using my ears to add the frequency and adjust the Q to taste. But then it really seemed about the same as a dynamic EQ by that point.

  • @akzentprod
    @akzentprod 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I wonder if the extra resonance points after using the EQ were “found” due to using zero latency when creating the resonance high q notch. Would be interesting to see if mac linear phase made that song only have that 1 frequency as an issue rather than all the other points around it.
    Not a big issue at the end of the day, but a thought that came to my mind after seeing how it reacted.

    In metal music you deal with a bit more resonances due to heavy distortion.
    And sometimes you just get zo so well recorded tracks from your clients.
    However, i find this plugin not to be a timesaver. It identifies a bunch of spots that don't need your attention and when you do it manually, you can just use fabfilter pro q or any other dynamic eq.
    This kind of brings back memories of everyone putting soothe on all their tracks.
    This trend to focus on resonances makes people look for resonances where there are none and apply fixes where you don't need any.
    That's just my 2 cents

    This seems like a decent tool for individual layers but FabFilter's EQ also works great for that, and most of the time any old EQ will be good enough - depending on the situation it doesn't always need to be dynamic. I guess the selling point of this is that it finds it for you automatically, but if you can't hear the resonance yourself you probably don't need to correct it, which makes me think this is more of a beginner's training wheel plugin which is still a valid reason to exist.

  • @chocomalk

    This version Sandstorm sounds very boomy to me. I think it’s a problem in the arrangement, it can be tempting to keep adding layer on layer of synths on top each other. It’s like painting, knowing when the composition is finished, when something is enough. If you keep mixing paints and adding layers you get the colour brown and don’t recognize the picture anymore. Sometimes less is more = more clarity of sound.

    Nice plug-in, I think it's pretty nifty. However, I don't share your quote that such a plug-in on a master channel, is the same as making changes in EQ on a master track, in order to reduce resonance in certain instruments. I definitely would have shared it if you talked about an EQ plug-in, which is something completely different compared to a compressor. I think using a plug-in such as this, a spectrum analyzer/dynamic compressor, saves you a lot of time trying to search for things alike by yourself, using maybe 2 or more different plug-ins

It does enough to impress you graphically, but sound improvement isn't that accurate. I tried it several times and it killed overtones as you said - but not necessary overtones that should've been reduced, just some almost random overtones. So, just to add to your comment, RESO is not 100% accurate and it makes it not 100% fast. It helped me, but only because I knew exactly what I want from it. )))

  • @Gedagnors
    @Gedagnors 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with you, but this plugin works for me, but I use it juuust a little bit. And it helps to design a sound with low resonances without adding low-pass and making sound different, so if you know how to use it and where - it's quite handy.
    But after testing it on a different instruments I quickly stopped trusting it 100%.
    And thank you for saying that if plugin works, uses CPU/Memory, shows some graphics - it doesn't mean that all that is necessary and all that frequencies need to be cut from the mix. Even on Sooth website I saw that there are no problems in "before" sound samples - this "problem" is exaggerated a lot to sell more stuff.

  • @easyvelvet77
    @easyvelvet77 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fully agree with you man...
    I still "believe" in ProQ3 for all this, as you can there:
    - freeze the curve to see frequencies popping out from the line (and this for ANY LENGTH OF TIME, not 3 seconds or so like in Reso's "Calculate Target")
    - apply up to 24 EQs if needed, ...OR DYNAMIC EQs (very under rated)!
    - solo any dot, activate it or not, change the Q of each dot individually, EQ or dynamic EQ,
    - (Am i the only one to care about the magic:) infinite UNDO & REDO?!!!!
    - ...and definitely waaaaayyyyy much more: mid/side processing, EQ matching...
    - Ehhh, what about "External Sidechain Trigger for Dynamic EQ Nodes"?! But this is going away from this topic... 🤩
    But definitely, one need to HEAR what one is doing, and it might a good reason why so many people prefer to use an AI helping them with that , or find a ONE button plugin solving all!
    Fair enough, it's usually not the favorite moment of the musical creation, but still, working on our ears ability to find what's disturbing the mix is part of the way, isn't it?
    To me Soothe2, Reso and Spectral shaper... are good plugins for a fast result (or for a soft gentle use over the main mix or buses, or even, an AI second check).
    But for a "track to track surgical precision EQ" or "dynamic EQ" i really love ProQ3 (the UNDO & REDO is a massive part of my choice).
    There only do I feel really in "control" of any detail. But let's say overall, how lucky we are to have so many option,
    i come from a time, where few parametric EQs on a mixing table, or a 31 band graphic EQ, were all we had to make it sound right! Blessed we are! Great day to each one of you!

    I always tackle resonances in the mix instead of letting the mastering engineer (myself) dealing with it. It's one of the most annoying things when you have multiple resonances from different instruments/vocals that overlap, because having many EQ notches can re-introduce new resonances that weren't there before.

      It has "Delta" feature where you can hear what it is cutting. Often it's quite a mess you don't want to hear in the mix.

    Regardless of all pros & cons, this plugin is good when under tight deadlines & trying to fix overly dynamic tracks that need a bit of clean up but want to keep it's original character, it's ok at quickly cleaning up noisy sounds that need taming too.

  • @HG_well
    @HG_well 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a Propeller Reason user, I get a lot of digitally harsh frequency resonances, and RESO does a great job at quickly fixing those. I don't think it's meant to be a fix-all solution, but rather a quick fix tool for some specific digitally harsh synthesizer instruments. Out of all the other ones I tried, including Melda, Soothe, and others, RESO seems to be the easiest one to use for what I need. Not sure it's the right tool for a mastering chain or a mix bus. My 2 cents.

  • @GTSongwriter

  • @Cefshah
    @Cefshah ปีที่แล้ว

    I partially agree with you. If it is reasonable to fix it as-you-go, then it makes sense to do so. However, there are times within the creative process/workflow where tired brains or ears can readily miss annoying or serious resonances. So, there is a place for products like this (in general). If one uses a LOT of VSTi's (as I do), it's so easy to create an exciting sound ... that might clash or resonate inadvertently.

    I think you're working on very good material (good takes of voice or instruments) with a treated room (that's why you don't necessary need it) and those resonant fixing plug in are more target on people who struggling with audio recorded without a treated room (like me) and in this case it helps a lot !

  • @TheLoneWorg

  • @Euthymia
    @Euthymia 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, of course it's not going to find much on a well-produced finished master. I think it's supposed to find buildups on individual tracks. As with any plug-in that does analysis, it's only a beginning, the ears must be the final judge. I like having a program like this around for checking things; I use MAutoDynamicEQ in this role. It can give me up to 5 suggested notches, I never use more than 2. And the usual caveat always applies: maybe the sound is better with the resonant peak, maybe that peak is an important part of its character. Don't accept its suggestions blindly.

  • @KOjoe1k67
    @KOjoe1k67 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    "If it's not broken, then don't fix it" :)
    A sidechain input might be a great thing to implement tho. That's how i use Soothe : spectral ducking of tonal peaky signals.
    That's why I won't bother trying RESO for now.
    I gotta say i work almost only with samples and VSTis that result in tracks that are usually already in pretty good shapes before i even start processing them. So chasing those infamous evil resonances is something i very rarely have to care about.
    And when it comes to "reduce the harshness" of some signals, well, bx_refinement is doing that thing is such a nice way that i just grab it without thinking twice. Likely 20 seconds of tweaking at most, and i'm done. Brainworx doesn't say what happens behind the scene, or claim to have discovered the sickest AI of all times, but hell, the shit they do do work!

    @timothyforry2222 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The key to using this plugin is to understand that every track your mixing needs to meet the loudness spectrum. When u deduct "resonant frequencies" u have to just be careful. If u take too many resonances out, the loudness spectrum will have some weird phase sounding problems. Sooth is great to cover a general area of resonant frequencies and push them down collectively. Where as this plugin pushes them down more surgically. I use both soothe and reso in combination . Soothe is my gentle approach and resonant is my harder approach

    If I were just mastering, plugins like Fuso wouldn't be relevant either. But for producers, this is a relief. And that's exactly what it's about. Does it make producing easier or not.
