    I bought it for the upgrade price, like $25 or something. A real steal. And you didn't even touch the eq/filter section, which allows you to shape the frequency response of the compression. This is by far my favorite compressor, especially in the sidechain. The ducking transparency is unparalleled (pun intended). The additional plugin states at the top make A/B/C..ing different settings seamless. You can go into mid/side mode and also control the channel linking. They also added a delta button. What more could anyone possibly want?

  • @mwdiers
    @mwdiers Жыл бұрын

    Check out their sidechain compression. With its spectral pixie dust, it's the cleanest I have ever heard. Duck the bass under the kick with no weird pumping effect. You can also really go crazy with creative use of the transfer curve for expanding / compressing different bands - even if they are below the threshold.

    I'm very much a novice at production, but my major is computer science and I have to agree this excellent user interface design. Hopefully it doesn't come with much of a cpu hit though. Having a more interactive, informative, and elaborate visual interface does expect a lot more from the cpu than a static display with some knob pictures that rotate in place when you drag them. And gives the programmers a second item they have to try and optimize after they have a build of the UI that fully functions as intended to begin with. It's impressive when they pull it all off.

I feel like, lately, a few times every year a company innovates with a plugin that does amazing thing i've always wanted.

    Depends on the plug-in and what features you are using. On my CPU - an i7-8559u - Smart EQ3 in full dynamic mode is still pretty heavy at ~1.1% CPU (0.5% CPU in non-dynamic mode), and Smart Limiter a bit less at 0.7 to 0.9% CPU. Smart Comp has never used more than 0.1-0.2% CPU for me, which is comparable to Pro C-2 with oversampling disabled. So IMO, only Smart Comp can be seen as really good in that regard. The other ones are okay for use here and there, but I wouldn't use Smart EQ 3 as my go-to EQ for every track in a project. A great and lightweight go-to EQ shouldn't have to use more than 0.2% on my CPU IMO. That's a great thing about Reaper stock plug-ins, they use about 0.03 to 0.05% CPU!

Most of the time you don't even get any audible problems when you EQ several tracks of the same recorded source. If you would run into a problem you can always use a phase-linear EQ, but 90% of the time it's not necessary.

Anyway best AI ever, and maybe best compression tool ever. Be aware of sounds with reverb and delay (tails) on them cause it will over-compress it heavily, tho my workaround is to get him to analyze the sound before the reverb or delay start.

    Oh carp! I spent the morning going back and forth between a mix with smartComp 2 and a mix with my Shadow Hills Vandergraph. I'm sure I could make the Vandergraph sound as good or better with a few more years of practice but right now, smartComp 2 has the skills I don't and the little extra dynamic range and clamping down at exactly the right moment gives that pleasing musical glue. Damn! It's one thing to mothball your copy of Pro C, it's another to put a $2500 compressor in the closet! It's possible that this is the tool and the moment that triggers a mass exodus to ITB.

    Just want to update this: After two more days of comparing, yes smartComp definitely gives a more detailed and crunch in all the right parts. However, there is something that the Vandergraph adds or brings out that is not there in the smartComp mix. Just makes me smile wider! So for now, analog wins. I bought smartComp and will use it where needed, a lot of places but yeah, holding on that gear.

    With its A.I. characteristics, and comparing to Fabfilter, Sonnox, Brainworx, and Melda Audio, Smart::Comp 2 has the most transparency between them all. What is frightening is the track the Presenter used as the video example has compression already implemented. I noticed immediately before the learning A.I. began. Once it finished, the results enhanced "TREMENDOUSLY" as if compression was not utilized. There was more perceived presence, punch, and transparency. This compresser is ideal for Mastering. The moment I heard how it sounded, I purchased the upgrade from its initial version. The Spectral Compression feature can be compared to Saturation. Even when it was implemented, it was clean without the grit and distortion when applying more drive, regardless how it processes the frequency spectrum. Sonible outdid itself. It utilized the concept of Smart:Limit within this updated version. I can imagine when Smart::Limit 2 is released. Keeping the processing as simple as possible is the key. Other vendors has been put on notice.

    Another comment... it was your video on Sonible's Smart Limit plugin that convinced me to just get the entire bundle. Slowly but surely, Sonible pushed out Fabfilter one by one. It's almost like a battle between contemporary, modern style plugins. Fabfilter are amazing, and they certainly set the standard for modern ui type plugins. But with the Sonible stuff I seem to get there earlier, and get more consistent results. If I go for a piano ballad it's easy to find the mellow, smooth, intimate processing you often want. If I go for hardstyle hiphop it's so easy to get aggressive and punchy and gritty. You almost wish like the companies that like to emulate vintage plugins would program their algorithms behind UI's like this. In the end, I seriously hope Fabfilter and Sonible, and in a way Izotope keep pushing each other to take modern style plugins to the next level.
