I plan to do another video on Equator, where we test more deeply-including Plugin Doctor. I also plan to do a definitive de-resonator/unmasker shoot-out soon. Let me know if you'd like to see any specific plugs tested! Let's get it!
Nice demo! Sub'd.... I wish Waves would have added a red visual masking bar showing the overlaps similar to fabfiler pro Q3. Would make things easier to see at a glance.
So appreciate the sub! Pro audio world are a necessarily skeptical and conservative users of social media-hard to get them subs!
That would be very cool to show overlaps. Pro Q3 has set the standard for visuals when EQ'ing for sure. Sonnox Claro does this in a very cool way. See review here: ruclips.net/video/FPUoiGNhtYg/видео.htmlsi=tIXB7bx5f2ECw8lT&t=137
In the case of Equator, since you're just making a reverse profile of the sidechain, it's not as necessary to show overlaps as much. I do like that, once dialled-in, it's left more to ear to fine-tune.

Thanks for subbing and commenting!
Waves no no no - their business model is really bad. Baby Audio also make a very good alternative to Soothe called Smooth Operator and are a much more customer focused brand - without the over top money making out of their existing user base. Shame as they had some good plug ins but the game is completely different with many talented developers out there.
@@eg1612 It's sad to see the result of greedy marketing decisions. You're obviously passionate about audio, and now Waves ha lost you-maybe forever. Sad!
Yes, I got Smooth Operator the moment it came out. Extremely useful, and it does sidechained unmasking! but, it's in a lower league than Soothe. And this Equator is a sizzler.
Great info, great editing, great humor, and great authority. Grats on 500 -- here's to 500k. Preciat'cha!
Thanks for the support as always, Drop!
never buy waves plugins - you will be paying for the same plugin again and again and again
I know what you mean. The Waves Update Plan can feel almost usurious sometimes. You'd enjoy my and my bro's vids on Waves replacement plugins! ruclips.net/video/L9cvFCq4ceY/видео.html
But:
1) We might like it or not, but they make some of the best plugs out there. I'm still hopelessly addicted to a few. Equator is the latest addiction, I fear.
2) The the single-fee plugin licenses is permanent for as long as your rig can run the plugins. I'm running a blend of everything from v9 to v15 plugins, and have only had to buy WUP once-when macOS and Cubase starting rejecting VST2 and non-Silicon plugs.
They lost a lot of people with that WUP crap - then they tried screwing people over with their subscription idea that they promptly changed after a lot of negative feedback. Baby audio also make a cost effective alternative to Soothe.
@@eg1612 The subscription thing was so bonkers and out of touch. To their credit, they reversed it. (But only once caught lol)
@@dahlhousestudios yep
@@dahlhousestudios agree they make decent plugins (I actually loved Vitamin), but there is so much competition out there I can easily swap them for free plugins or support less greedy companies. Waves is dead to me.
Am I hearing, struggling tone? 😅
@@josesarinsemanzi lol. Aren't we all struggling?! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@josesarinsemanzi You've just unofficially renamed "Struggle & Torn" to "Struggling Tone!" I'll inform the songwriters.
