Perfect demonstration! I've been in a relationship with Lisa for over a year now and have grown to love her. But you've just taught me how really make her perform. Amazing transformation on Witching Hour and I love what she does with the kick drum in the first track. Thanks, JC!
This is incredible. I saw the hardware model at Musikmesse over a decade ago and to see this is a gift. Plugin Alliance continues to push the envelope and unravel the magic that is all around us like oxygen in nature. I look forward to hearing this in the studio. Justin, Thank you for your passion and walkthrough of such a magnificent design by TOMO Audiolabs.
I read some of these negative comments and..alright, I respect any individuals opinion. PA has a treasure trove of vintage and digital processors. Like Waves and many other manufacturers, there is a difference in all the similar imitative toys of yesteryear and the toys of today. Quite frankly, its gotten to a point where beginners can get some descent free plugins that sound ..well..descent. As a subscriber of PA, I have been very pleased with their products and use them ( as well as others ) on every mix and project. I have just used this on a mastering session. Like any piece of gear ( hardware or not ), it takes a bit to get used to its functions, sound manipulation and capabilities. So far, I was pleased with the results. Having the dynamic opto compression added on to the EQ functions really adds to the plugin and it's possibilities. I have yet to explore it on singular tracks..but that's next. As far as vintage looking GUI's verses GUI's of a more graphic nature....they are both good and serve a purpose to its user. Thanks for your video and tutorial. Much appreciated.....
I have the pa subscription too, I think they have some amazing vst like bx_digital and black box 💖 but personally I hate their console emulations, the high end seems too hyped up, compared to SSL native, waves... When a push 1 dB of 8 or 12k on the brainworx, I get the impression that I'm cranking up 6dB. Maybe it's just me and I'm weird, but that's my impression, I didn't make any scientific test 😁
@@alexandre7634 I rarely use the console plug ins ( although the Lindel Neve console can add a bit of character ). And if I do, I leave all its onboard eq's and dynamics off and use other processing tools to do that work. And quite frankly as a Mix/Master subscriber, I have found a handful of plugins that I actually use frequently. But its a large handful.
Thank You so much PA. I haven’t been able to stop using this since I purchased and installed it. Really happy to be a mastering engineer in the Plugin Alliance Golden Era 🔥 don’t know how I was mastering before this came out and don’t wanna know. Thanks again
Just started using this from my bundle subscription... I made good results & use from it prior to being here now to learn & understand more of it. But it's very intuitive, easy to apply for otherwise being a complexity of design as a x6 band hybrid eq/comp? The concept is far more scary to think about trying or using, than actually going ahead with trying & using it... I have decent outboard still, & owned & used enough worthy outboard rack processing & fx units... To know nowadays when a plugin is really in essence behaving like I know real outboard does to my ear. This plug is a good example imo, I'm happy with it as a plug that my ear is hearing & making intuitive decisions on making the right settings for things, in a way I find the right outboard always does too... I praise the Looptrotter Sa2rate as well, it's my special sauce, I put a dose or a dash on everything at the right stage or stages... & it's hard not to get better results for doing so. Kiive Tape face is a winner too.
The audio of this video, in my speakers here, really doesn't do this justice. After using it on a few things I'm very satisfied and impressed. It seems to impart liveliness in a way that sort of challenges one to question their hearing. I mean, closing one's eyes and seeing if it really makes as much difference as it seems. But after a few tries at this I came away being certain that I like it. If you want a very analog sounding bloom, and particularly effortless brightening without harshness, this could be for you.
You can try each of our plugins for 14 days to see and hear how they work for you. Just download and install the plugin, then add it to your DAW to start your trial.
PA, for plugins that have separate controls for each channels, please give us the option to hide one set of controls if we have the channels linked! There's already an icon to hide the bottom panel. Just one more icon next to it would really clean up the GUI. If I'm missing something and this is already possible, someone please let me know. A few plugins like BAX, Alpha & Karacter have separate mix/master versions with simplified controls, but surely it wouldn't be hard to just have a tiny button to show/hide the controls for the second channel.
I liked the second example, I think that the vocals suffered in the first example. I could be wrong. I heard instruments get clearer, but the lead vocal just seemed to be unclear. It could be RUclips compression. I'll check again and check out the plugin
Hey Cleon, thanks for the comment! These are not my final mastering settings for these tracks, but rather quick tweaks for demonstration purposes that still sound pretty darn good! You can hear the final settings for both these songs on the artists’ pages. In the video there is a lot of dynamic control going on for that first example in the mid range, and although it sounds pretty transparent for the amount that there is, it might pull down the vocal a little bit, sure! You could play around with the settings more to either bring the vocal further or tuck it down more, absolutely. I think that in the final master my settings were likely less extreme in the dynamic control in the mids. For that example, I was focusing more on showcasing how good it can still sound when pushed hard, and on tightening up the lower end relative to the rest of the track. Hope that makes sense!
...and also please make sure to run your own tests. You can try all our plugins for 14 days at full functionality! www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/tomo_audiolabs_lisa.html
I have been searching for the track and I can't find it on iTunes or on RUclips for some reason. Anyway, I downloaded it and tried it out! First impressions... It made my track sound open and more three-dimensional. The only thing I noted was the CPU usage. I have an older machine so until I upgrade later this year I took pride in the fact that I could run a stem mix project at 96kHz with Plugin Alliance plugins without any concern. AMek 200, SOMA, True Peak Limiter, Shadow Hills Compressor, Alpha compressor on my main bus and no problems... I don't think I would be able to with this masterpiece. It's time for me to upgrade. It sounds AWESOME!
But my RAM suffocates when i use this plugins ! Is there any way to give some air to RAM ? SEND FLASH SALE FOR THIS NOT THE PLUGINS WHICH ARE ABOUT TO UPGRADE IN NEAR MONTH..
I don’t think there is a dynamic EQ like this in the bundle yet, and I don’t think FabFilter or anyone else has a dynamic EQ laid out like this one either. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
I hear ya. Personally, I consider the analog-style layout a feature, not a bug. There’s a ton of dynamic EQs out there like that already that are so visually driven. This one is a bit more ear-driven. A lot of us like a knob-based approach. (At least some of the time!) It’s a totally different way of working, more intuitive and musical to some of us, and part of the reason some of the Plugin Alliance tools are so popular. I’m glad both kinds of layouts exist. But they didn’t for dynamic EQs! …until now. It’s just another great option, and I had fun working with it.
@Diego Olivera Well, good things come to those who wait . . . You may already know this by now, yet PA has added the Kirchhoff EQ, which takes the ProQ3 style eq to a whole 'nother Galaxy ! Personally I Love what Justin is talking about, with the "Ear focused" knob-based plugins and this TOMO Lisa is one of the best I have ever used ! Yet, Like You , I also sought out a visually focused eq like ProQ3 . . . So, I demoed the ProQ3 and the Infinity EQ . . . and I much preferred the Infinity EQ, even though it doesn't have Dynamics . . .It's like creating Georgia O'Keefe style Water Colour Paintings with Sound Co-Relations . . . I Love it . . . ! . . . But then I got the Kirchhoff EQ , and, like this TOMO Lisa it is an Amazing Dynamic EQ of the Highest Order ! They are both Desert Island must have EQs, in my humble opinion. It's crazy that this TOMO Lisa has been sitting there, right under my nose, in the Bundle , and I am just discovering it now, thanks to PA's promotions and Justin's Videos. Both the Kirchhoff EQ and the TOMO Lisa, are All In One Solutions . . . Like Justin demonstrated, you can Master with just the TOMO Lisa, and the True Peak Limiter . . . and the same goes for the Kirchhoff EQ They Both have per band compression and expansion, multi-band dynamics . . . Both are total game changers for the Art and the Industry! Big Ups to Justin and PA ! Just like I was Tickled beyond belief when I got the Kirchhoff EQ, last year I am equally Tickled beyond belief to now be using the TOMO Lisa (don't call it an EQ) EQ
@@JustinColletti Amazing video, as usual ! Great points in this thread, as well, and as usual I am Shocked that this "ear focused". "knob based' dynamic eq does all that it does and sounds as amazing as it does. The lay out, simplicity and elegant workflow are a Godsend. PA has so many Gems and Secret Weapons in the collection. Now it's time to apply what I learned in this video about the TOMO Lisa, and apply it to my current mix ! (-;
PA making so much good new plug ins. But 1 thing I dont understand. Even if this plug in is nearly in full screen on my mac book its absolut impossible to read the values. It makes no sense to copy the hardware interface. 1:1
Curious why brainworx doesn't take advantage on making plugins designed for computer screens. I dig the fact some people like playing with plugins mimicking hardware experience, but not why not adding on the top some UX to make the experience more efficient. In 2022 I expect at minimum from a dynamic EQ, to see the GR done on the input signal frequency wise. Imho, this kind of UI is a step backward considering the competition.
@@PluginAllianceTV It's not, there's the TMT stuff, the M/S part, the new TX drive, so my question remains, why not adding on the top some nice 2022 optional UX?
@@FrancisBourre because there are any number of DAWs/plugins that will show you a visual graph if you need it, while others will appreciate the plugin taking less screen real estate, and not paying for a redundant function they have elsewhere.
@@kingpinronin4301 It has nothing to do with a visual graph. It’s about making it economical to use with a mouse. Hardware you can use both hands at once. The same layout just doesn’t make sense when you transfer that to a mouse. And are you serious about less screen realestate? This plug-in essentially has about 4 controls, just duplicated for each band. And despite its very basic set of controls, it’s so cramped that it’s still one of the largest GUIs in my plugins when you set it to a size that’s comfortable to read.
@@PluginAllianceTV I looked at that and it says to send you a video of the bug and there is no way to add a video, so what should I do? Upload it privately to my youtube channel and give you the link in the bug report or something else?
You can try each of our plugins for 14 days to see and hear how they work for you and how they compare to existing plugins or hardware. Just download and install the plugin, then add it to your DAW to start your trial.
after one month i would like to see this plug in up to date it lags like acustica plug ins and the knobs are hard to drive i got 60 gigs of ram and 8cores and its hard to drive the knobs on a chain immersion i dont know if is the cross ovrs or filters but there is latency
Our 14-day free trial allows you to try our plugins at full functionality. The Lisa's Filters switched into cut mode use the summing amplifier as a polarity inverter. Muting the dry signal thus mutes their source signal as well, so their output is silence. This is a „quirk“ of the hardware as well, but had to be retained in the digital model as well to make the dynamics levels behave the same way as on the hardware. Please check out the manual for further information: www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/tomo_audiolabs_lisa.html#downloads
Perfect demonstration!
