this software,which is pretty cheap by the way, is a MASTERING tool, and i was wondering if anyone tried it,or can give an opinion.

tnx
 
Noop. Never tried it. But, I'll take a look at it. Could always try something new. :D
 
Don't waste your money... the whole premise under which it's designed to work on is a joke. (it's the equivalent of saying, "I like the way that Steely Dan song sounds, so let me grab it's freq. spectrum and apply it to my own song to make it sound the same...")

Complete nonsense.... :rolleyes:
 
Do a search here for HARBAL. Some colorful debates, with input from the makers, if I remember correctly.
 
I actually bought it once - although I returned it. It was the only way to try the "actual" program, as the demo limited you to using 8 bits.

It's an EQ. I know it's hyped as "Magic" or something, but it's an EQ. It was fairly easy to "band-aid" a crappy sounding mix with it, but on a mix that actually sounded good to begin with, I wasn't impressed.

The HairBall guys weren't impressed by me not being impressed, either - I found that unimpressive as well...
 
I feel it's good to see where are your mistakes. At a time I could pump up the volume, i got my track in har-bal and realised everything was on the lower frequencies and higher. So i got back to the original mix and re-eq some instruments to fit in the hole. Sounded much better after and I could compress much without hearing it working.

Maibe what I mean is it's kinda good on fighting tired ears.
 
I've known herbal drummers...had to hide the potato chips but herbal mastering...just sounds like a bad idea. :D

That's utterly ridiculous!!!!! 8-bits sounds like a hand-held video game!

Excuse me while I cough up a HAIRBALL!
 
I don't know what you're complaining about, I think 8 bits for it is a fair price. :D

Probably just as well.

Note that you responded to a thread that was seven years old, so it probably no longer exits.

i use it as a tool to see where there are issues.
