This really helps clean things up. Perfect for a mixing amateur like me get my guitar lesson demos sounding better. Thanks for the video. Glad to get it on sale!
Got the plugin the other day and loving it. Trying to learn everything about it, and yours has been the best breakdown. So, thanks! Hey, anyone know if there's a difference between adjusting the center yellow line or adjusting the 4 blue lines? Or are they the same thing, but just adjusted in different methods?
They are not, think about the nodes as threshold and the crossovers as ratio. This means the cross overs control how much the band will be processed while the nodes tell you where it should be more sensitive
on vocals should i use the waves curve equator first in vocal chain to clean up before mixing my vocal or after my vocal chain to clean up the already mixed sound?
You're right, Mario: it's not the first plugin of its kind, but it's the best at it. Just like Soundtheory Kraftur is not the first of its kind, UBERLoud, and the first: UrsaDSP Boost...but Kraftur > UberLoud and Boost.
IF you are working on the guitar and you side chain it to the bass, it will the reduce guitar frequencies, correct? And then in reverse it would reduce bass frequencies?
Funny enough, I preferred the original overall and thought the processed version was too bright and artificial sounding (disclaimer: listened on my iPad). That said, I can see this being exactly what you want in other cases and I’ll probably buy it and use it as a problem fixer (take resonances) on individual tracks/buses. All the auto-mix tools tend to make everything sound the same when applied to a full mix.
lots of plugins do the same thing. Waves created the whole idea of audio plugins, so you could say every other company copied them. This is also much cheaper and easier to use for the new gen of mixers that don't want 500 buttons and knobs. Baby Audio also has Smooth Operator which is very good. Just use whatever you like. No problem with having more options.
@@BenoniStudioto be fair, it was steinberg who developed the first plugins (for cubase) but waves were the first to sell them as a stand alone commercial product
Ye.....But "update plan"....Corporate greed...This discourages me from buying it. Do you remember when Waves wanted to switch to subscription? This is proof of corporate greed.
This plugin is fantastic, the best thing about it, the cpu hit is minimal. Great job waves, continue to evolve.
Thank you for the very good and understandable presentation of the new plugin from waves.

You're a good teacher, can't wait to use this plugin, i feel i have a headstart before getting in to it. Cheers
The swing jingle is sick
Excellent overview!

Nice ty..
How similar is this to soothe 2 / spiff

It will reduce/unmask the track that the plugin is on, not the side-chain signal.
Nice!!
hello ben do you still use your old 11R ?
I still have it somewhere, but I have not used it in several years. Guitar amp plugins got really good 👍
This plugin is more musical than soothe.
Where is your monitors
behind the desk on stands
Out of curiosity, cant you just use Sonible Smart Eq for all of this?

It sounds like a clean master. Retrain your oreja ears.
Didn’t Soothe already do the same thing?

@@BenoniStudio by the waves promo videos I've seen, you'd think they were the first to come up with it though lol!
Well demonstrated and explained. Thanks, Mario.
