Great interview! They seem like great people and I could listen to them for hours, I learned so much! Eventide: Please make an podcast!!! I know it's not for this kind of short interview, but where you said "Over the head" and "risk going in the territory were we are finding out about the inter working of this eq" this is the interesting part for me...
please consider a form of plugin that we can saturate indivudually seperated tonal and transient on same interface. it would be magic. it would really close future mixing machine at david gibsons art of mixing
There’s a newish plugin called Quantum by Waves Factory that lets you individually process transient and tonal info. Saturation is one of the many effects built in. It’s actually my favorite plug right now.
@@davidasher22 yes i have quantum my second vote for it but i think manuplating whole spectrum widh depth and frequency wise one one interface is case here. and think seperation algorithm of split eq also much better.
This eq creates strange artifacts. Especially noticeable when used in m/s Mode. It also has a lot of latency. As much as I like eventide, stay away from SplitEQ
I agree.. I’ve been doing some tests this past week and have discovered some disturbing results. None of my null tested worked. I kept getting a very phased sounding result.
No.. I think that nulls fine. It was when I would solo the transient and tonal and then combine them back together. Then I tried to null that against the original There was an obvious phased sound. Also did some other things where I printed just the transient and reversed that against the regular clip and printed that. Then I compared the tonal I got from that against the tonal you get from the plugin. Just a bunch of tests that would normally null with a regular EQ. The actual sound of the differences are what struck me as odd. It was always a very phased sounding result. Very artifact intense. Maybe you could say “underwater” sounding? Not your typical result like if you had the “Q” wrong or something.
So far in my listening, I've found it can be very transparent. Sure, it can potentially also can create additional artifacts if pushed very hard. But that's kind of to be expected I think! Practically any effect or tool worth using can sound bad if you get too extreme with it. I think the power of what it can do is very compelling, opens up new possibilities and can certainly be very transparent when used well. I'll do a demo where we look at (and listen to) all of that a lot more closely. Look for it next week. Hope that helps! -Justin
@@SonicScoop it’s a very interesting concept and I’ve sure had fun playing around with it. I did a few tests just to try and figure out what’s going on with it. If you’re interested maybe you can do the same test and tell me what you think. I took the solo information from both the transient and tonal sides and summed them together. My logic was, the sum of both parts would make up the whole. When I tried nulling that against the original I ended up with a remainder of sound similar to old codec compression. Warbled comes to mind. Curious to see if you might have some insight upon listening to it. On another note: a few weeks back I had mentioned RUclips and how I was finding a 16 kHz filter on all the videos I tested. After some more research and testing, I figured out that it’s not actually RUclips but the web browser doing the filtering. Once I expanded the tests it turned out only Safari was filtering the audio (on Mac OS). Also found that all browsers on iOS, including the RUclips app, have the 16 kHz filter. It hints like Netflix and iTunes (on iOS) are not affected. Just some interesting information and a follow up on my findings!
It looks like this could be VERY useful for dialog repair and restoration. And it's nice to see it demoed in REAPER. ;-)
Thanks Justin and Eventide!
Great, well managed interview Justin. Thanks for helping me get a deeper understanding of SplitEQ. Looking forward to seeing you test it out.

Great to hear! We will aim to go even deeper in the future.

Great interview, really getting behind the hows and why’s of the plugin
This is revolutionary. Looking forwarding to using it.
This thing is Amazeballz. A new paradigm is here.
yes ... at 04:45 some ideas appears to me/us, isn't it !? ... Such a great tool this Split Eq🏆
You never stop learning audio - 23 years experience.
Physion is a very cool creative tool and this EQ looks pretty well engineered too
was curious about this plugin. much better review than anyone with an exaggerated thumbnail or 'snake oil' in the title
I love the way Tony is talking about audio with a horrible sounding mic on his headphones
Would have loved to see much more technical inside to the plugin
Seems like it could have similarities to the Kotelnikov compressor, the way it compresses peak and RMS with separate ratios.
The eventide team are a very clever lot.
Every mixer and mastering engineer should own this.
Hey mixes moving forward technically should sound better than ever before with all this great tech.

See you all on tiktok lol - great chat
I'll guess I'll have to just try it out because all I'm hearing here is parallel processing something that I can do on my own

@@davidasher22 Do you mean that the same sound processed the same way in Split EQ doesn't null? This isn't necessarily a problem, if so.
