My fave has gotta be DMG Equilibrium. However, this seems like it might be useful in my mastering room, dealing with transients in a more targeted way like this is something I would find super helpful. Great review!
@@audiotoolshed yeah, it sounds great, am buying today, especially for vinyl mastering, nice natural sounding transient control but target at frequency. There really have been some amazing tools coming out in the last 6-12 months.
Eventide resident fossil here. Thanks for the explanation. It is a case of apples and oranges. SplitEQ is not a dynamic EQ. The split happens before the EQs. There are a pair of 8 band EQs so you can independently work on the tonal and transient streams. That’s a fundamental difference. We’re not saying it’s better, we’re saying it’s a new approach and different. The difference matters in terms of what you can do. We’ve been working on this split technology for years and introduced a plugin called Physion about 5 years ago. Physion was out before Waves Quantum which you mentioned. Also thanks for pointing out the transient parameters. We made a design decision to not restrict the range of these parameters. We realize that, at extreme settings, weird stuff happens but we’ve always been a fan of weird stuff if used creatively and decided not to limit the artist. It’s also important to select the source. The technology uses a ton of processing (hence the latency) to ‘listen’ to the audio in a way that mimics how we perceive the tonal and transient nature of any sound. There are hundreds of parameters under the hood involved in the listening and selecting the source creates a template for those hidden parameters. Anyway thanks again for having an open mind and understanding the fundamental difference in our approach. We respect everyone who cares about music and the technology that inspires us.
Hey Anthony! Thanks for commenting. Yeah apples and oranges indeed. But there is a demand from the viewer to understand the difference between these two plugins, because they are compared. Even though that actually doesnt make that much sense. Hence this video. It's just a bit like soothe 2 vs gulffoss. These also get compared altough they are different tools. I thought it was fitting to point out the ''aliasing'' sound you can get with extreme setting since users need to understand how to use a tool. You don't normally use the shaft of a hammer to hit in a nail, right ;-) And I thank you and eventide for making something as radical different as this EQ. The coming time will be very interesting to dive in more and more in this plugin and find new and exiting ways to use it in a mix.
@@audiotoolshed it was totally fitting to point of the ‘aliasing’ (i’m not sure there’s a word for what’s happening) because it does that! And I was thanking you for explaining. And sometimes you use a screwdriver to open a can of paint!
I picked up split EQ last week and so far loving it. I had a percussive synth patch that was muddy on the low end and needed the percussion type sound brought out in the mids. Wow. I was able to totally change and shape the sound to what i wanted. Much more than a just using a regular eq. It would have taken a couple of plugins in a chain to do this and it was pretty quick and simple to get good results.
I still have the Pro-Q 2 and now lean towards the split EQ. Was considering upgrading to Pro-Q 3 but now I think the Pro-Q 2 will still complement the Split EQ nicely.
I use pro-q3 and split eq both. For dynamic EQ i grab pro-q and actually for simple cuts and boosts as well. Anything which need that attack / sutain split I use split eq for, and that's almost in every mix project I do.
The thing I don't get is you can't sidechain it (at least that I know of). That would be what I'm looking for in something like this. The ability to put SplitEQ on a percussion track, set a band to reduce the transients of the sound, then have it sidechained to your main kick or snare. I do something similar right now with Pro-MB, but I'm just squishing down a band essentially when the kick or snare hit. I would love for it to just duck the transients of a sound when triggered. I honestly thought this was gonna be the use of this when a buddy was hyping it up to me, but when I went over to his pad to see it in action he wasn't triggering it and I couldn't figure out how to.
Hi guys I read all the reviews and for me (a guitarist) (BTW I love Fab Filt) this kills it for one reason, I can control the percussion aspect of the strings and still keep the top alive, which means sitting a clean sounding elect guitar in the mix is piss easy, something that has been a problem with everything else I have tried, believe I have tried them all!! Also I bought it and I'm a pro musician so poor.
Yeah Warren Huart also pointed that out in his livestream, was good to see. I do that also to an extend with the acoustic guitar. What I really dig about Split EQ is that it does this transient thing very, very naturally and smooth. Exiting times!
Good question! Main reason is because these two plugin will and are compared already even though they are so different. People don’t understand the difference, and that is what this video is for. It’s to inform people who don’t know, your suggestion is good for people who are already familiar with the concept.
I say at the start of the video it is a bit of apples and oranges to already make clear that these are different plugins. I also say this at the end that these two complement eachotehr really well. Apples and Oranges yes, but this video is needed to explain that. ''Main reason is because these two plugin will and are compared already even though they are so different. People don’t understand the difference, and that is what this video is for. It’s to inform people who don’t know, your suggestion is good for people who are already familiar with the concept.''
That one flew completely under my radar. Need to check it, seems to do at least some similar stuff, but I see a difference in the lack of an audio source selection and maybe transient length settings / crossovers
Yes, admittedly it’s a similar idea to entropy:EQ+. That said, separating the Transient/Tonal components of an audio signal and processing them separately has existed in our Physion plugin since early 2017. Physion lets you separately EQ transient and tonal components (amongst many other effects), albeit with 3 bands only. SplitEQ is an extension of that idea, with far greater control. SplitEQ behaves like a tool you already know - an EQ. You have all of the bells and whistles of any standard EQ (multiple filter options, higher order slopes, spectrum analyzer, etc), and can apply those to the entire signal, or the individual Transient or Tonal components of the signal. The panning options also open up a breadth of sounds not before possible. Other tools on the market are similar, but we believe this takes equalization to a new level.
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.
Well maybe, probably not. Spilteq is a static EQ, and not a dynamic eq like you pointed out. If you want to do some sustain increasing, you would need to reduce the transients on a certain range and boost that entire range as well to not affect transient and get that sustain boost. Also split eq has instrument specific algorithms / crossover and release settings. Not to mention ease of use in 1 plugin.
Trigger a snare drum and blend it behind it. That doesn’t have any of those artifacts is another great option. I use all the time and there’s no cymbals or hi hat in your trigger sample. There is another plug-in called De Bleeder It’s pretty cool
Huh? We’re interested in making music. If we inspire others to enhance their tools it’s a win for everyone. I’ve been at this for 50 years now and all that interests me is breaking new ground. We could have made a dynamic EQ years ago but there are plenty of excellent choices already. For the record, the first dynamics effects box was our Omnipressor in 1973. I’ve been digging through old docs and writing a series of flashbacks. There are blogs on our website documenting the early days of audio effects on the odd chance that anyone cares about ancient history. Peace out.
Those blogs are so good. Highly recommended for everyone to read. And yeah you at Eventide are OG without a doubt with a HUGE imprint on modern day audio engineering.
Great video! I also watched your video about quantum, is there a reason you would choose split eq over quantum? It seems like quantum does everything split eq does and then some...
Thanks! As usual it's the same ''lame'' answer: it depends. If you only need eq than spliteq is way better and versitile than quantum. More things you can set, better crossover and more. If you want effects other than EQ seperatley for transients and tonal content ( which is very likely as well) then you're way better off with quantum.
I put this on every track and removed all other eqs. Mixing has never been easier or as transparent and I must say my mixes have never been better. Pretty crazy shit.
Hey there. Well basically none. You can try to use the multiband envelope to adjust the level of the transient and sustain, or make a complicated setup with duplicated tracks where one does transients and the other the sustain. And then you still need to do a lot of work to make it sound good - if that is even possible. The Frequency eq does have a dynamic eq option so you could mimic the pro q3 tricks in a way.
@@audiotoolshed Omg 😱 I forgot about the multiband envelope You're right I'm going to try both Like pro Q3 And with multiband envelope Thank you for helping me You are the best youtuber
You can use other steinberg apps in a similar way. Backbone, grooveagent 5 both have the ability to separate audio into tonal & noise layers for separate processing. Spectralayers Pro 8 goes a step further & allows you to split audio into 3 layers (tonal, noise & transient). Great for drum layering in particular
Honestly I haven't used fabfilter, but, But, hold on. I have used split eq and it blew my mind. For both mixing and sound design. It is the best eq for sound design Period. 808's pianos organs flutes etc. The power to easily dial in a sound or a vocal is insane. I also use it on every channel in every mix but I can't say it's better than fabfilter for mixing but it's Daaaaaamn good!
Pro q3 really is the plugin which all others are measured by. it still is, split eq is so different from pro-q3 for the largest part. They complement echotehr really well.
That function of the Dynamic EQ is great for sure, although it does not work in the same way as split eq does this. That works like an autogain / dynamics processor on the whatever the offset is, and will not give you independant EQ control on attack on tonal parts like the split eq does. Different tools.
Split EQ with huge latency (around 80ms) is still suffering from phase distortions caused by transient tweaks. It should not. I appreciate any kind of innovation but no way I would use this plugin for mastering !
I ran into this and went straight back to Pro Q3 until they release a version 2.0 of the plugin. It also has several Unicode bugs on OS X as the text overlays turn up as gibberish with Big Sur. That is, nothing is legible.

Each year there are a number of EQs hailed as ‘the new king’ and then a year from that point no one ever talks about them again. Perhaps it’s better to simply allow the king to wear his crown. Lol
I don't agree, one king eq is enough so we can keep focusing on what's important, we don't need all this plugins competing with each others as soon as we have a capable gear that we can use @@audiotoolshed
Old-time analog EQ was basic and they produced legends. I think we don't need all of these advanced (Marketing)EQs. ProQ and others are just overhyped 🙃
hahahaha, wellllll...... I can assure you when you have to deal with very badly recorded audio which clients send you and you have no other choice than to use that audio that all these new overhyped EQ are a godsend to work with. That said: Add a sweet, nice real analogue eq after all that prepping and you have the best of both worlds :-)
@@audiotoolshed hehe You can easily deal with badly recorded audio with one "basic" EQ(analog), not every song was perfectly recorded in the past. You can also mess up good audio with advanced (marketing)EQ 😄
Haha well, In my experience, i'm very very happy i can use pro q3 or something alike to fix some baaaaaaaad audio. The skill to record something properly has degraded a bit i would say, there's so much homerecording going on. And yes you can absolutely mess up audio with advanced modern eq, no doubt about that :-)
Analog style EQs may be fine for basic mixing duties in contemporary music, but the limitations (often only 2 shelf & 2 peak bands) can be a bit crap, when you really need to get surgical, or in sound design sessions.
