Two questions.
Is there a goo plugin to use for EQing? I would like to add a bit of sparkle to my setting.
Second, I have clunk and slam plus the bass plugin active, all on 2. I keep getting this effect when the bass kick in that they only way I can describe it is like the bass is bottoming out. Is there a way to avoid this? I like who in the older sounding units, it almost distorted the bass. Maybe that is just not possible with Live?
PS. The captchas are way to hard to read some times.
Your next post will be the last captcha you'll get, and you can always request to see a new captcha if it's hard to read. We are getting attacked by networks of spam bots pretty badly, but we're keeping them out pretty good now. And it's not the captcha doing most of it.
Anywho… you need to use one of the attenuation plugins before you use any plugin that could cause loss of peak control, which is just about all plugins. I recommend the 6dB attenuation version. 🙂
As for EQ, this is the only one I could recommend for quality linear-phase low-ripple that you can still buy. It's free actually. 🙂

I don't recommend using the "FAT" option. MP3restore mileage may vary, it's replacing everything above 16kHz with sampled granule DSP and I've only heard one of those that sounds good, and that isn't it. I wouldn't recommend using anything but the EQ. I'll also recommend only reducing the sounds that you don't want, not trying to boost the sounds that you do want. In general you'll get much better results. I do and I've been mastering for 15 years, and "doing sound" for over 20. It avoids psychoacoustic phenomena with our heard related to Fletcher-munson curves, and that anything that's simply louder *does* sound better… but it's a lie from our ears & brains that doesn't actually hold true in the long run at all.I also recommend leaving ReplayGain enabled, and using at least -6dB pre-amp for songs that don't have ReplayGain values yet. And of course… scanning your entire library. Actually… Foobar2000 is a much more convenient & better ReplayGain scanner, mostly because it uses the new international loudness standard (ITU-R BS.1770-3 / EBU P/LOUD's R128).
