It's been almost two weeks with DeRes and I'm loving it more and more as I use it. NONE of the other resonance-killers is this hyper-accurate and clean. Every couple of years, I find a plugin that just forces itself into my toolkit, and DeRes is it this year! Pick it up while it's still a steal at $9.90! www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/71-Dynamic-Processor/12212-Deres/?a_aid=64b80a03dc3d7
Thanks! I literally shot this like a weatherman-had to put up an image of the plugin on my screen so I knew where to point. "We've got an area of high-resonance coming in at 1.2kHz!" 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks! Yeah DeRes is a bit of a revelation. I reached out to the developer to see if he would answer a couple of the questions I know we had about it (is it just an EQ? What's "convulting" inside?)
I was thinking the same thing that this helps train your ears. That’s one of the reasons I got it. Create mixing session and load 10 different raw vocal tracks (or whatever), then practice finding and listening for the resonances.
@@phadrus Agreed 100. This is a brilliant learning/training tool. It's already made me way more sensitive to resonances, and, as you'll see in my upcoming Waves Curves Equator review, it makes me ultra-aware of the resonant frequency, and I can use that knowledge to fine-tune other broader-band deresonance/unmask tools, like Soothe. I now KNOW forever that the howler monkey frequency in these vocals is 1140Hz. Thanx for watching and commenting
@@beatprocess Appreciate it. This is my vote for Plugin of the Year (so far). Checked your channel out. Great vids, making beats from scratch! Insta-sub.
So, I purchased this and it does appear to the be the real deal. My only issue is that it only handles ONE resonant frequency at a time (not counting "octave" harmonics). Unless I'm plain wrong, I am under the impression that there might be three or four frequencies that could be causing trouble at any given time, and to tackle this, I'm forced to create multiple instances of the plugin on my chain in sequence. I am wondering if I am making a mistake doing this, or if it wouldn't have been an improvement to implement this as a multi-band plugin that would allow you to handle more than one resonant frequencies in the same plugin instance. I realize Smoothe 2 and Reso do that, but this is so darn clean and I'm loving the manual control! Thoughts?
I've had the exact same thoughts! My biggest wish with the plug is that it would dip down to, say, 500Hz-just in case that reso is happening at, say, 970Hz! I too was often finding that I needed to add a couple instances on some tracks. This is no big deal, as long we're careful with the little bells-and-whistles buttons (the exciter, for instance, creates pretty serious aliasing-so you wouldn't want to have a bunch of that on a track). As long as you don't engage any of the saturation, you can load as many of these as you want (though feel free to mess around with the Compensate/Excite/Q buttons in the final instance of DeRes in your chain)! At its core, DeRes is a simple digital EQ, just with a whacky Q of 20, and some alleged exclusive methods to minimise artefacts. I was never able to fully null DeRes with other EQs though it was VERY close. You could also use DeRes to identify resonances, then cut all the resonances in any digital EQ that can make Q-factors that high (many can't). In any of these cases, we'd want to keep the ears open, listening for any odd phase issues etc. Cutting resonances is one of the age-old secret skills that the pros have always used. All that being said, at some point I recommend ignoring everything I said above! It's always the same rule: try to stick to good principles as you set up your mix, but once you've got a good balance, whatever sounds good, IS good! Thanks for commenting and watching!
I like the review and your like your song a lot. Maybe a little vocal tuning? just a tad on some of the sustained notes. Mix orig plus tuned to taste. Quality of vox and tracks is A1
Thanks for the kind words! What you're hearing is a purposefully flattened "boardmix." On the full mix I did basically exactly what you suggested! The band is Arkana and the song is Struggle and Torn. It's off Spotify until updated mixes are done (plus a surprise guest drummer records on it-that will be its own video soon). I'll reply again here when the new tracks are accessible. Thanx for watching and commenting!
It is a cheap plugin, but can only do ONE resonance...and you have to find it what is pure guessing. Reso or Soothe do that work for you. No hype here.
Hype is a many-splendoured thing! For me, I like the precision of DeRes for tracking down and killing one res at a time. It's a different tool than the more auto-, full-spectrum ones like Soothe, Reso, and Smooth Operator. Also didn't get any mp3-style artifacts no matter how hard I pushed it-while even Soothe 2 starts to introduce some when pushed. Super-light on overhead too. I'll have to do a head-to-head with a few of these plugins on a troubled source like the vocal stack in this vid! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@dahlhousestudios ok, thanks. And was the cpu load huge as well? I put 3 instances in logic and got severe performance issues. I LOVE most W.A. plugins I own, etc. vocal and kickshapet, awesome perls for no money.
@@monkmusic5994 That's surprising! I had about 10 instances running in this already pretty big project and they didn't even move my Cubase CPU meter-so I didn't think to even address any CPU issies. I will try it in Logic. Thanks for the heads-up!
@@dahlhousestudios it was always my experience that Logic's load went through the roof simply attempting to open....when it it would open. maybe it's much improved now.

That resonance you found in the vocal stack is stunning! This is going to be a keeper plugin for me! Great review. Cheers!

nice review bro

nice sounding track
@@beatprocess Thanks! Little hobby side-project I've had going with my bros for years. This one's my fave
