spectral rebalancers/optimisers

[DCrown]

TDR has several plugins with resonance detection and attenuation (GE versions)

Oh yeah! That's a great option too. It's different in some ways, and takes a fair bit more practice to use well. It's spectral so you gotta be a little careful about some of its artifacts (at hard settings mostly). But once you know your way around it it's just outstanding. Decidedly the best free option out there, for this purpose, IMO.

EDIT: That is Auburn Sounds Lens. In case that wasn't clear.

I'm in absolute love with Lens.

LENS

What's the big USP there

Sound ... features... workflow ...what sets it apart

It just looks sexy. We all love it because it is sharp.

Never heard of these Auburn people/person before. What's the skinny with them?

I like wavesfactory Equalizer. Don't see a lot of chatter about it but I like it quite a bit.

Also Gulfoss works for me, I know some don't get on with it but I for one do. DSM is cool too if a bit fiddly. Never got on with the others. Don't use the izotope ones for some reason even though I have Ozone and Neutron. Don't really use Neutron anymore though.

Simpler is better with these types of things IMO. If I can can move a few sliders or turn a couple of knobs quickly and hear a result I'm golden. If I have to start tweaking I won't know if the changes are for the better. YMMV.

Read the praise here, so had a look. They claim Lens can do "over the top upwards compression", which got me interested, so I just installed the demo.

Digging deeper, it seems that what they mean by upwards compression, is just a wet dry balance (parallel / NY comp) lol

It's not proper upwards compression if it's also introducing a squashed version of the peaks.

To me, over the top upwards compression would be bringing up the noise floor to audible levels, while keeping peaks perfectly intact (which I can already do with various comps).

This thing can only give me what FL's mix knob already gives me on every single fx slot.
Lack of knowledge, or purposely deceptive...

Either way... fail. Uninstalled.

Hornet sleek just released - Ultimate Resonance Suppressor
https://www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-sleek/

[yzcoruhT]

I'm getting a lot of milage from DSEQ for resonance taming... And TEOTE for spectral balancing .

I also use HORNETS ThirtyOne MK2 on almost every track, which is crazy cheap right now BTW.

Ozone Stabilzer ...is pretty decent as well.

...SKNote .. Soundbrigade , gets used every now and then.

KVRAudio website says, that Soundbrigade is VST3, but I did not find any info about VST3 on SKnote website. Where's the truth?

[sokoleski]

Yep, itS VST3 , I just checked my plugin-folder

TEOTE is great plugin for balancing the spectral content. It's a lot like Izotope's Neutron Sculptor or Gullfoss. I don't have a favorite. Honestly, just get them all and see which one works best on the signal you're processing. With all the rebalancers and resonance suppressors available, there is no one-single-solution. There are dozens of testimonies and discussions about them. They're all good. For the record, the top spectral shaping and resonance suppressors I use are TEOTE, Soothe, and MSpectralDynamics. Those alone are in most of my projects. While I own many of the others, these typically work the most effectively. In rare cases, I might reach for the others if I'm not getting the sound I'm looking for.
