thanks for the response. i address saturation in my second vid. i was deliberately not testing distortion because i strongly feel it's better applied with a specific plugin. Phase is covered because otherwise i wouldnt be able to get decent cancellation on the tests if the phase was completely different.
in terms of that free course, longer isn't better... i flicked through in my market research before making my course and found it was essentially overly long, tedious, ad hoc advice with analogies to cooking vegetables etc, but it didn't really teach the proper fundamentals of EQ and certainly didn't cover most of the things i cover in my course. i also disagreed with many things in there. Sure go for that and save the money but i all the feedback i've had from my eq course has been extremely positive and i think most people were happy to pay for it.
Thanks for commenting!
Overall I'm glad you made the videos, I became a subscriber because of the first one and yeah you're right about saving time because 9 and a half hours is a huge temporal investment.
Best of luck, in the future I advise to not call software developers scam artists. Some might be, but not all of them. 😁
@@RealHomeRecording Absolutely, I didn't intend for that to be the take home. So I clarified again in my latest video that the idea was that the marketing is the scam, not the hard work which went into designing the plugins. And at a big company, that's going to be a completely different team to the DSP devs themselves.
Thanks for the sub, I hope to make some decent content on my channel.

If you create an amazing song, give it an amazing sound, and acheive something artistic whatever paintbrush you held in your hand at the time to do it is the one you used. Maybe the colour of the plugin inspired you, maybe oversampling helped, maybe the lack of oversampling helped, maybe the dirt was the fire you needed, maybe the clean curves gave you what you needed. We are worried that we are being screwed over, but the only ones screwing us over is ourselves by worrying about it. Let audiophiles be and let artists be.
Nice one Adam, Bertom Audio also have a free EQ curve analyser. That's the one I use these days.
exactly, Bertom Audio eq curve is fantastic
This guy spent weeks of his career trying to convince us of something he can’t prove. You would need to not only create the easy stuff like EQ, which he does, but also incorporate harmonics, phase shift, etc. I’d rather buy a plug-in than waste time trying to figure all that out and not to mention what it does when you make the slightest change to any parameter.
@@waynebaker2452 great points!
Time is money, indeed. If you can spend a little bit of money to save time or improve your outcome then the money is well spent!
His last video shows what you wanted, very little difference
I don’t understand the point of this video. Dribble
To explain why I and many others use analog hardware emulated equalizer software.
