I am testing Waves L316, since manybands-limiters are a powerful concept.

It is quite good, maybe slightly noisy. One can wonder why Waves did not include longer lookahead option, for this manybands limiter. Also some more general controls, would be...
I played out on an Ensoniq DP/4 in its day, connected to a mixer, connected to fairly good amp and speakers. It had guitar inputs. Wildy much better than an old amp, designed like it was in 1950 is not impressive to me, nor "godlike". Pure indeed.
That was a long time ago though. And guitar...
Btw, I probably made this old soundfont-sample sound better than this dudes amp every did:

Maybe he thought "god" was this old fertilityidol?
It is a common misconception. "Aint everybaddy who kan tel de difference"

I think your whole statement is coherent, in that it shows a clear lack of understanding, and a simple mind, that wants to
1) Listen to inaccurate sound, thinking it is superior to digital, doing the same distortion.
2) As you do not appreciate a pure sound, you do not appreciate a pure mind...
With better, I mean more accurate, less noise. Indeed. That is better to me. And a trained ear, who has done DSP for 10 years, wants that :) (Listening to ghosts is not my idea of "good". (Aliases, and rather the mental phenomena).
Third order distortion yes, that is what one calls it in DSP...
From my personal research and development of DSP, I would say that digital can sound better than analog, with good algorithms. If digital "is worse" then it is just a bad algorithm. And unfortunately, there are a lot of people who write code, who do not understand what people are looking for in...
This is a DSP-project built from the ground up, and uses optimized and current DSP techniques, and currently has windows binaries.
Features:
Gaussian minimal-phase IIRs and TIIRs. (9th order, 5 parallel onepoles in code) (EQ, filtering, smoothing)
Optimized envelopes, for the most generalized...
In the process of mastering and mixing 50 productions. (electronic)
Heya, check out my previews of my electronic music at youtube.
Links are not allowed before 10 posts, so I am just going to have you Google "Ove Karlsen Blog" for the link.
I wrote own DSP which I use much in this, and it is...
A lot of the time, a softclip, with eq before and after, will give a desired sound. It is also really what happens in a guitar amp.
I also have a softclipper with third order distortion, which analog is typically known for. This is also a very psychoacoustic transparent distortion at low...
Dither makes a difference. While writing DSP, I have noticed audible differences even at -250dB. It is very subtle, and it is also part of "the character" of a lot of gear. Small saturation or behaviour of components.
However current dithers usually do filtering in the feeback path of the...
Get a linear mic, never mind all those "vintage" mic types, that is just saturation and EQ, one can really add later. And a good multibit D/A. Singlebit sometimes sound like 4bit, because it does not have the neccesary bandwith to accurately reproduce the signal, but it does filter out most...
I was thinking about getting into some musicvideo making too. I did production, mastering and even my own DSP. And it´d be fun to do videos too. Anyone know a good "rapid development" video editor, that quickly gets into the most used features?
Peace Be With You.
I did a mix and master on it.
Description:
Master: A general setting I use: Waves Lowband Linearphase highpass @ 50hz. and near max slope, for the cleanest sound, and L316 multiband, which does good general peak limiting. Also actually my own linearphase eq, after the L316, to adjust its...
