Fabfilter works great for me, for some reason sometimes the Waves EQ Renaissance sounds better in a few instruments, Mäag Audio EQ4 sometimes, I also like to use an SSL on the guitar bus.
Bought it without seing this video first, had a lot of fun and can just say that this thing is like half a dozen plugins in one. All you need to mix and master now is a couple of compressors, a good reverb, a limiter and this thing. It literally makes things like Soothe 2, Gullfoss and other "cheat"-plugins obsolete once you get your head around everything this plugin has to offer. It is a transient shaper, de-esser, stereo/mono maker and loads of other things. Just crazy, and a right out steal at $99.
I tried the demo and straight away bought it, Old pro guitarist Iv'e always had problems controlling the string punch and tone on the higher strings (clean sounds) this has solved it, now I can match the backing tracks easily.I can now place it perfectly. Thanks Eventide.
Demoed for 10 mins, instant buy... Amazing for removing mud from keys while leaving the punch intact or bringing out the percussive sound of a funky guitar, without overpowering the vocals. Great video as always Warren!
@@Producelikeapro It's deffo an instabuy for me when I get paid next week. The demo sounds bananas on metal guitars. The mid-sizzle is like listening to a pan of Walls sausages being fried by Linda Lusardi filming an ASMR video.
Just downloaded the demo and put it on a couple of tracks from a piece I've been having problems getting a good mix with. Played around with the frequencies and then panned a couple of those frequencies and it had me in tears. It's just brought out the magic in that piece for me. Buying this whatever. Thanks for your in depth review.
On drums this seems like a godsend, I often find I have issues where the high end of the transient of the snare can be annoying, using compression means less overall transients, less high end means a dull snare. With this it seems like I can take out some of the high end transient and add in that high end in the tonal side. Actually a new EQ plugin that does something that others don't!
Eventide is a great company. EQ plugins remind me of guitar pedals - the market is beyond saturated. But this IS a pretty neat EQ. I think for me, as a small studio owner, I'm always looking for bang for the buck and give me the biggest improvements for the least money. $99 isn't bad.
I have had the demo on the whole afternoon on various sessions. This one's a keeper no doubt. Then I go on YT and here you are with the same plugin. A very useful tool indeed :-)
Love your detailed experimenting with it. Finally got the demo and will be purchasing after the demo. It's nice to see some real creativity and imagination at work with the results of this plugin. Thanks Warren for a great demo ride! You Rock sir!
Wow, always been fascinated by the new interpretations and inventions of tools that we use every day 🤘Awesome Job eventide, thx for this killer review Warren, really showed me on what this could be helpful!!! Consider upgrading my toolbox hehe
Went to demo it and before I activated the demo, I listened to the examples and then bought it. Stumbled on a discount code and got it for $49.50! Best plugin purchase in years; I think this is my new goto EQ.
It's an interesting way to do it. I'm an amateur compared to most of you guys out there in my studio. I'm just a solo artist writing and recording his own music. I have iZotope's version similar to this and just haven't found it to work well for me. I prefer good old fashion graphic eq's for mixing and mastering. Maybe because in many ways I'm still old fashion.
Do you mean izotopes transient shaper? that is very different thats a dynamic transient shaper that is multiband. Its like the opposite order of operations to this. I mean it can probably achieve similar things but the way you use it is very different.
@@yanossnicklefritz7064 Thats just a dynamic fully parametric EQ with cool sidechain features unless there is an update I don't know about. Great for that purpose, the eventide doesn't do dynamic EQ and also doesn't have the masking feature of Neutron that I like to use sometimes. If you are struggling to find a purpose for the Neutron equalizer, i'd start off with not using the dynamic modes and use the alt function where you can hold the alt key and it isolates the band and then you can move that band around to try and find a problematic frequency or the frequency that is needing to be boosted. Definitely a different way of thinking to old school analog EQ though.
@@JimijaymesProductions I appreciate it. The way I look at it, there is a use for everything. I'll keep trying it on different things like the rest of the plugins I've bought and added on. And eventually as I use it more, the more I may find uses for it and like using it.
Warren, if I am a tenth as excited as you are, I want this. I think this truly could be a "game-changer". WANT!! Wish it was a little cheaper. I know it's on offer, but I can't bring myself to spend that much on "an EQ". I know, I know - it's not just an EQ. Did I mention I want this...? Ah Warren, you do such a fabulous job of making enjoyable videos. 😊

Absolute game changer across the board ...pun intended ...this is the kind of thing we as engineers try to do with multiple plug in chains...NOT ANY MORE ...WOW
Transient or tonal control option.. In one EQ? I'm in. One thing I have become quite addicted to is the auto gain feature of Sonnox Claro , this plugin with a similar auto gain algorithm would be pure gold
@@Producelikeapro I've been trialling the MtM Reso against Soothe 2, as far as filtering eqs go it's hard not to like the Reso, I'm trying not to like it and it has some ironing out but tonally, it seems to me it's a more transparent alternative certainly worth having a gander at. Good month for eq and resonance tools Ymmv, be well kind man ✌️ 🎶 🎶
Killer eq sonnox Claro auto gain is very good and the tow channel split option eq.. That it shows the disturbing frequencies like sibilance and too much energy in the low end. Really great function!👌👍😉
Rightly said Warren 💯 This may be not revolutionary but it's REALLY helpful!! amazing plugin 🔥 also when will be Kali IN-8 V2 giveaway winners be announced?
This looks great! Don't forget to change the source though, at the bottom under band 2. I have read it changes things behind the scenes depending on the source your dealing with, you had it set to full mix the whole way through.
Indeed, if you watched the whole video I explained I kept on full range myself for large periods before then switching to their presets. When you demo it feel free to use their presets first and then go back to full range and see how it works for you
Good lord, Warren! Your wearing cans around your neck, which at first glance, I thought was an ascot. On the other hand, this EQ looks like it’s headed for my plug-in pool. Thank you for the review👍
Looks like a fun tool! While other plugins might have similar capabilities, it seems that the GUI functionality/design on this one makes it stand out. So it also looks like a time saving tool. Cheers everyone!
I’ve started leaving a bit of dead air at the front of my recordings recently to find all the inherent noise of my system and notch EQ out the offensive hiss, hum and what not. These visual tools could help isolate the Freaky Freqz.
@@levondarratt787 Yeah this plugin is a neat abstraction to quickly solve a problem or get a specific result. You can do the same thing without and with more flexibility but it is more messy and takes longer to tweak.
This multitrack pack is one of the best ever to try out stuff. I had similar ideas about what to do, now you found an EQ that can do it faster and more focused. Soundcloud has a lot of interesting mixes on that song. But can we tweak the separation between attack and steady component per EQ band? Like, the transient time-constants should be slower for lower frequencies. What I did back then was a 4-band split into 4 transient designers, Flux-bitter-sweet as I remember.
The BEST walkthrough you've ever done. Period. Probably because you're the kid in the candy shoppe learning that you like SUGAR! Awesomeness, Sir Warren, aka Kid Sugar, haha
I like both of those things! I think I will use it differently form the way I use Soothe 2. That’s still one of my favourite plug ins! I love this plug in though!
The potential for music is already amazing... Applying this to Atmos music and video/movie effects and sounds in general is would really be incredible. Final Cut just added full Atmos support, so hopefully it'll be soon!
I'm guessing Eventide went ahead and update and polished their engine from Physion (was it called like that, can't say for sure now) and applied new thinking on the EQ. Owning some of Eventide fine tools, which are great, I just can say this is new approach to the EQ with 2 split planes in soond image and I am sure Eventide did it again! Nice work!
Nice Warren,,, This is nice,,, You'll probably like Transgressor by Boz Digital... Not used this SplitEQ yet (will be lol) Though I believe Transgressor goes more extreme, same concept controlling resonance and transient of chosen frequencies separately. Though no panning. These are pretty incredible control idea's for a bunch of musicians lol..
What I’m liking is it’s musicality. Others are pointing similar plug ins, which do similar things, however none of them have become widely used because they mess too much with the integrity of the source material. I believe why many people at echoing to like this is because it maintains the integrity. Many thanks, Warren
Looks pretty sweet! I was just looking at Sonnox's Transmod. Would this be able to completely replace a transient shaper like that or SPL's transient designer?
I believe for purely transient shaping the SPL or a number of other transient designer only plug ins still have a place! This is an amazing tool for keeping the bite or attack of a part without the overbearing EQ of just boosting that area
There is something to be aware of worth mentioning. This is a MIXING tool. It creates a considerable amount of latency. Especially when you deploy it liberally. Suggesting this can be a main goto EQ is not really accurate in pre production at least. That is not a deal breaker tho, because it's a remarkably useful and effective tool. It seems to do everything in the EQ realm better than any "traditional" EQ, It's clearly a step forward and hopefully just a glimpse of how interesting future tools inspired by SplitEQ are going to be. Said it before, I'll say it again. Don't be sucked into buying photographs of vintage gear. Support future think!
One thing that i search in EQ's, is one that i can roll off just one frequency I mean, most plugins, when you tweak a frequency, the other frequencies around are affected too either raised up or down,creating that shape of a mountain around it, thats not what i want When i want to tweak 4000hz, i want to change something only in 4000, like a parametric EQ pedal Its just dont sound the way i want to, when other frequencies are affected i can't do the "annoying" fine tuning that i want to. Sometimes i just want to literally scoop the hell ou of a 16khz noise, and if i roll of the whole thing, it wont cut just 16, but also cut 15, 14, 13, you know.
Think about this: when you record anything, the sound spectrum or the waves, i dont know, they are full of spikes Well, if i take all those spikes and inconsiently polish them so much by just using the eq, that i dont have any spikes anymore , wouldn't make it sound less organic? Or a little artificial? Particularlly, i don't like that, wish i could do the way i mentioned before on the comment, if anyone reads this, and have ever seen a plugin that don't do this "if you turn one thing up, you turn another thing up" let me know, please
Who gave this a thumbs down? This SEQ is bitchin! Warren pretty much got his entire mix in the ballpark with 1 EQ in 1/2 hour and you got a thumbs down?
@@Producelikeapro Well, I listened to all the usual suspects who reviewed the SEQ and you win with the deepest dive and real world examples with a generous 45 minute video.. Appreciate what you do to earn those thumbs downs! lol
I am surprised that nobody mentioned Quantum of Wavesfactory, it does not only EQ the transient and the tonal separately, it also does reverb, chorus, compressor, saturation, limiter, convolution, stereo-stuff, and much, much more. All separately on transient and tonal…
Frei:Raum by Sonible also does that kind of thing, it never gets mentioned for some reason. But SplitEQ has a nice layout to it and it seems to sound great from what I've heard.
This is the kind of tool that gets my attention. I'm sick to death of developers trying to sell me eye candy, ("emulations" of vintage analog gear... by showing me a nice photo of something that looks like hardware.) The pricey analog hardware they are "inspired" by is anachronistic. The future if audio design is going to look a lot like this and all of your expensive antique rack gear is going to be rendered obsolete. Purists (people who invested 100s of thousands of dollars on UA, SSL and Neve will disagree, but look at digital photography. Purists said digital will never replace film. The fact is, film is now obsolete and inferior. To me, what companies like Eventide, Oeksound, FabFilter and Sound Theory are doing represents the future and supports the notion that there will always be edges that need to be tested. Stop buying photos of rusty hardware and embrace innovative technology. You'll save a fortune and make higher quality music. Of course this is just my opinion. I could be wrong. But I'm not.
So sorry about that. Warren why is everything so much more expensive in regards to pro audio equipment? Ever since corona prices have gone up 3 times. Is this the norm now ? Will it ever go back ?
That’s an interesting question! Obviously the tariffs were an issue. My US friends said there were certain components that are only made overseas so that affected their bottom line and then of course the lockdowns made manufacturing very difficult. I read inflation was up 6.9%. Let’s hope it slows down in the next year or two
Is the price point worth it? You could use an eq and then transient shaper. I know thats more steps and plugins, but thats the question. Is it worth it?
A transient designer can’t be manipulated to find the Transient points at different EQs on its own. Here you can freely choose what transient you want pick out and exaggerate and simultaneously reduce that exact same frequency if you require
I'm going to have to watch the rest of this video later and see if there's an explanation. 10 minutes in and I'm not sure what's going on here? what's soo different than fab filter ProQ3 or even WAVES F6 dynamic EQ?
Hmm can we select multiple transient/resonance nodes and adjust together ? Try control or shift + left click ? or Left click off node and drag select ?
Could I achieve the same thing from the Split EQ with Fabfilter Pro Q3 (for the sustain) and Oeksound Spiff (for the transients)? I think the Split EQ is doing the same thing as what I would do with the other two, but I am not sure exactly (seeing that Spiff is dynamic and only either boost or cut, but not both). I really like what I could do with Spiff and Pro Q3 running together though.

These are pretty incredible control idea's for a bunch of musicians lol..
What I’m liking is it’s musicality. Others are pointing similar plug ins, which do similar things, however none of them have become widely used because they mess too much with the integrity of the source material. I believe why many people at echoing to like this is because it maintains the integrity. Many thanks, Warren
interesting eq! I thought you got new monitors? Genelc? Thanks for the video!
I do! I have been switching in and out trying new monitors etc recently and the 1032’s have been my go to for 20 years now!
@@Producelikeapro right on! just making sure I pay attention! haha Thanks!
Looks pretty sweet! I was just looking at Sonnox's Transmod. Would this be able to completely replace a transient shaper like that or SPL's transient designer?
I believe for purely transient shaping the SPL or a number of other transient designer only plug ins still have a place! This is an amazing tool for keeping the bite or attack of a part without the overbearing EQ of just boosting that area
@@Producelikeapro Roger that! Thanks for the response, and all your insightful and cheerful videos =]
@@rocknrory you’re very welcome
There is something to be aware of worth mentioning. This is a MIXING tool. It creates a considerable amount of latency. Especially when you deploy it liberally. Suggesting this can be a main goto EQ is not really accurate in pre production at least. That is not a deal breaker tho, because it's a remarkably useful and effective tool. It seems to do everything in the EQ realm better than any "traditional" EQ, It's clearly a step forward and hopefully just a glimpse of how interesting future tools inspired by SplitEQ are going to be. Said it before, I'll say it again. Don't be sucked into buying photographs of vintage gear. Support future think!
One thing that i search in EQ's, is one that i can roll off just one frequency
I mean, most plugins, when you tweak a frequency, the other frequencies around are affected too either raised up or down,creating that shape of a mountain around it, thats not what i want
When i want to tweak 4000hz, i want to change something only in 4000, like a parametric EQ pedal
Its just dont sound the way i want to, when other frequencies are affected i can't do the "annoying" fine tuning that i want to.
Sometimes i just want to literally scoop the hell ou of a 16khz noise, and if i roll of the whole thing, it wont cut just 16, but also cut 15, 14, 13, you know.
Doing the db per octave might help too? You can bring that up but then tighten the Q like crazy
Think about this: when you record anything, the sound spectrum or the waves, i dont know, they are full of spikes
Well, if i take all those spikes and inconsiently polish them so much by just using the eq, that i dont have any spikes anymore , wouldn't make it sound less organic? Or a little artificial?
Particularlly, i don't like that, wish i could do the way i mentioned before on the comment, if anyone reads this, and have ever seen a plugin that don't do this "if you turn one thing up, you turn another thing up" let me know, please
@@BrofUJu Hello there, thank for the sugestion i will try XD
For a second there, I thought it was called Splite Q (SPLITEQ). LOL
Haha
what do you think? this or Claro??
I haven’t tried Claro to be able to compare.
I would try Quadrant of Wavesfactory it does even more
@@StatelineMusic is it Quantum or Quadrant?
hi whats the band name? sounds great.
Who gave this a thumbs down? This SEQ is bitchin! Warren pretty much got his entire mix in the ballpark with 1 EQ in 1/2 hour and you got a thumbs down?
Haha it’s ok! Thanks for your great comment
@@Producelikeapro Well, I listened to all the usual suspects who reviewed the SEQ and you win with the deepest dive and real world examples with a generous 45 minute video.. Appreciate what you do to earn those thumbs downs! lol
This EQ broke the internet
Yes, it seems it did!
Look AT the New plugin of DJ Swivel and his tonal eq !
Yes! We are going to do that!
I am surprised that nobody mentioned Quantum of Wavesfactory, it does not only EQ the transient and the tonal separately, it also does reverb, chorus, compressor, saturation, limiter, convolution, stereo-stuff, and much, much more. All separately on transient and tonal…
Frei:Raum by Sonible also does that kind of thing, it never gets mentioned for some reason. But SplitEQ has a nice layout to it and it seems to sound great from what I've heard.
GROOVY!
Thanks ever so much
Well I bought it. How can you not?
Thanks Jim!
Very cool!
Thanks ever so much
Boz Digital Labs Transgressor 2 was released in 2017 which does much the same thing and a bit more...
Over FabFilter Pro Q Warren?
Definitely! This EQ has been overwhelmingly welcomed! It’s pretty darn good
This is the kind of tool that gets my attention. I'm sick to death of developers trying to sell me eye candy, ("emulations" of vintage analog gear... by showing me a nice photo of something that looks like hardware.) The pricey analog hardware they are "inspired" by is anachronistic. The future if audio design is going to look a lot like this and all of your expensive antique rack gear is going to be rendered obsolete. Purists (people who invested 100s of thousands of dollars on UA, SSL and Neve will disagree, but look at digital photography. Purists said digital will never replace film. The fact is, film is now obsolete and inferior. To me, what companies like Eventide, Oeksound, FabFilter and Sound Theory are doing represents the future and supports the notion that there will always be edges that need to be tested. Stop buying photos of rusty hardware and embrace innovative technology. You'll save a fortune and make higher quality music. Of course this is just my opinion. I could be wrong. But I'm not.
So this is like Transgressor, but more expensive...and more advanced in some areas.
So sorry about that. Warren why is everything so much more expensive in regards to pro audio equipment? Ever since corona prices have gone up 3 times. Is this the norm now ? Will it ever go back ?
Who is Russ?
That’s an interesting question! Obviously the tariffs were an issue. My US friends said there were certain components that are only made overseas so that affected their bottom line and then of course the lockdowns made manufacturing very difficult. I read inflation was up 6.9%. Let’s hope it slows down in the next year or two
Is the price point worth it? You could use an eq and then transient shaper. I know thats more steps and plugins, but thats the question. Is it worth it?
A transient designer can’t be manipulated to find the Transient points at different EQs on its own. Here you can freely choose what transient you want pick out and exaggerate and simultaneously reduce that exact same frequency if you require
Would love to win a copy! Great video!
I'm going to have to watch the rest of this video later and see if there's an explanation. 10 minutes in and I'm not sure what's going on here?
what's soo different than fab filter ProQ3 or even WAVES F6 dynamic EQ?
Reminds me of the Oxford dynamic eq at least the interface does
They are good plug ins too
Qool.. great idea .
Thanks ever so much!
Hey Warren,,, you ever-ready battery, get some sleep !!! lol I appreciate you, thanks for all.
Haha good to be busy!!
Hmm can we select multiple transient/resonance nodes and adjust together ? Try control or shift + left click ? or Left click off node and drag select ?
Yes, there is a quick key if you need it
Would love to win
Enter to win!
Could I achieve the same thing from the Split EQ with Fabfilter Pro Q3 (for the sustain) and Oeksound Spiff (for the transients)? I think the Split EQ is doing the same thing as what I would do with the other two, but I am not sure exactly (seeing that Spiff is dynamic and only either boost or cut, but not both). I really like what I could do with Spiff and Pro Q3 running together though.
