Perhaps my question is kinda broad but in most given situations what would y'all recommend as an ideal quality factor (or bandwidth) for audio mastering?
@Mpumelelo von Mumhanzi I recently watched this Hot Trax Production Magazine video on YouTube where Chris Athens was talking about using a narrow bandwidth at around 100 Hz and a medium bandwidth at 8 kHz.
What would you say corresponds to a narrow or medium Q i.e. when using a VST plugin. By the way what equalizer was Chris Athens using?
@Tanonoka Semantics, LMAO.
@Tanonoka Okay suppose I want to replicate EQ shapes of a Sontec MES-432C?
That question of cloning Sontec EQ curves has been answered already by @Scorpio when he was talking to @Tafadzwa Twabam
It's kinda written in Patwah and I can't comprehend it.
I am feeling lazy right now to translate the whole thing for you.
I'd suggest maybe @Nolwazi Kwayedza or even @Scorpio himself to respond to your query.
@Scorpio A quality factor of 0.349672 is probably much better considering how broad it is.
@Tanonoka Okay suppose I want to replicate EQ shapes of a Sontec MES-432C is that possible?
@Mpumelelo von Mumhanzi I mean on FabFilter, Izotope, DMG and Flux Epure.
@Scorpio what are EQ pressure points?
Sontec | iZotope Ozone/Neutron |
---|---|
5 (dB per octave) | 0.58 |
6 (dB per octave) | 0.92 |
9 (dB per octave) | 1.58 |
11 (dB per octave) | 1.95 |
15 (dB per octave) | 2.85 |
Sontec bottom shelf | iZotope Ozone Equalizer (Baxandall shelf) |
---|---|
50 Hz | 130 Hz |
100 Hz | 200 Hz // this is also quite similar to a Pultec EQ @ 20 Hz |
Sontec top shelf | iZotope Ozone Equalizer (Baxandall shelf) |
---|---|
It's fixed | 3.7 kHz |
@Mpumelelo von Mumhanzi I mean on FabFilter, Izotope, DMG and Flux Epure.
@Scorpio what are EQ pressure points?
1.2 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q) |
1.6 kHz (with a blunt bell curve) |
2.0 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q) |
3.5 kHz (with a blunt bell curve) |
5.0 kHz (with a 6 dB/oct shelf, or 12 dB/oct Q 0.48 or even 18 dB/oct Q 0.219 shelves on FF Pro-Q) |
6.5 kHz (with a blunt bell curve) |
