About VST3 ?

[Pedro V]

jmh,

Thanks for the explanation, and may my gaps in knowledge be worth it. That's how I am, you can't imagine how my crazy mind oscillates. It's a fool on the contrary: it fluctuates as if to gain momentum .

I didn't see where you were going. But I didn't know what you were telling me either. Speaking of being a fool (Tonto in spanish) and the LSD, you reminded me of Tonto: The Synthesizer (interesting story) I don't know if they also used LSD along with their dusty mirrors.

Thanks jmh.

It sounds like you are using midi bass notes in which case something like this might be able to do what you want too:

If you research this, I'd be curious about what you find as to if the note messages would work as is. Also it might work in conjunction with the compressor that is in the ReaPlugs bundle of reaper plugins that can be used as a midi trigger generator. There are probably lots of plugins that can do this, but that is where I saw it.

Struggling with Bluecats MB5-Dynamix and GainSuite.
The midi settings are confusing me, I think I'll leave it for now, until Bob talks about the live KEY input.
Currently studying SAW/SAC.

jmh,

But I dare to disagree that SS as a DAW is more suitable for certain things. I'll see with time and experience what you mean. Or maybe you could explain to me why you think that.

I don't know why Bob didn't put the option to increase the slope of the LowCut in the EQ, because there are sometimes big things under there. I have found it easy with a thick filter or adding an EQ to double the slope of the Low Cut, or another filter, but it's not the most elegant.

For sidechain my two pences,
do you try to select the MWS track audio in the multitracks on Pre-FX signal flow in the mixer menu ?

Whoaaa...YES it works with Levelizer, I have tried before but then I had it postFX now I tried again as PreFX.
MWS kick audio on track 1 Levelizer send A, and MWS bass on track 2 Levelizer KEY A in SAW MT.
Aaaaah..... life is wonderfull it works, mission complete.
But the channelcompressor is still a mystery with live KEY input.
Thank YOU Ivanoff for asking about Pre-FX.

[ivanoff]

glad I could help you.
If you want to use the effects of the virtual console you must select MWS in pre fx flow. With amp simulation it is like recording old analog consoles. You lose the post FX Pre patch but you can use the send auxilliaires

Very valuable information, Thank You, I will put that on a note right in front of me when I am working,

Tood,

Regarding the resolution of the Frequency Analyzer, don't be fooled by the RTA-like vertical bars. There are 50 filters (bars) but they can be adjusted from one octave to 0.005 octaves in a clear readout. It's a very high resolution, you can see and hear notes of the musical scale. Like the Fab, but without the piano. No more resolution is needed. It's been available for a long time.

Vertically you can limit the dB range that the meter covers from a normal high range to 4 dB, then you can visualize movements of up to 1 dB.

Sometimes you don't realize what you have in your hands.

The Levelizer is about as clean a limiter, compressor and gate as you'll find out there.

Speaking of magic: The Levelizer peak limiter.

I meant freq resolution, not amplitude :-)
Yes, I can foresee 50 bands being plenty...it also takes more screen real estate IIRC
I don't have the 64bit version of SAW Freq Analyzer

again, the great majority of my work in SAW is human voice...not music
and the majority of my recordings are with a Sound Devices 7 series
with limiter applied and masses of headroom anyway (SD limiter is fantastic IMO)
I typically have no need for compression or limiting in the majority of my film work,
I spend most time editing out unwanted noises in a another program at the moment, not using SAW

If I was making music with SAW, then I'd be using compression more
I do have some music projects for SAW though, in future (re-working old material) and I could see a need for those 64bit plugin versions

that said, I have Fab Filter EQ, DS, MBcomp and Pro-L...I just seldom limit an actual render. I will limit works in progress if I have to deliver something...otherwise, I mix :-)

Again, I have to thank you for your comments about Dynamic EQ...I turned it off and appreciate the results so much more.
I will experiment with settings of a maximum of no more than 2dB and see if that is less perceptible

[Dave Labrecque]

Well said. Though, did you mean to say "SAWStudio" in the second instance of "SAC," here?

It's so much easier working with SAC as the live front-end console and using SAC as the recording console.

Thank YOU Ivanoff for asking about Pre-FX.

As mentioned earlier, it works for me with the Levelizer in default mode (post-FX). No pre-FX setting needed. That is when ducking an recorded audio on track 2. Maybe it's different using the hardware input on track 2?

BTW, when I reported it working with the Levelizer, I said that the Key Listen button was still not working, muting the hardware input to track 1. Today I've discovered that that's only true in Live Mode. During playback, it works properly: I can hear my live track 1 input when listening to track 2's Levelizer key input.
