What do you guys use for dynamic eq? RE, etc?
Have you gotten away from using compressors in favor of this method?

I use CV out from a Kong midi ghost clip into a channel CV which is configured to duck a specified frequency range of an EQ. I never sidechain compress for low end the traditional way. I use the Pump RE when I want the effect for a melodic element.

Excellent call on "Pump RE" - She's another on my to buy listCaliforniaBurrito wrote: ↑08 Oct 2017I use CV out from a Kong midi ghost clip into a channel CV which is configured to duck a specified frequency range of an EQ.

Well I think the Reasonistas RE (Sidechain Reaction IIRC) would be better for a certain frequency range although I don't have that one. I don't mind manually splitting bands though with other devices.

I just use dynamic eq for the low end to make sure nothing is interfering with the kick but still coming through pretty hard. I make deep underground kind of tracks with lots of low end so it can be a bit of a balancing act which can get screwed up by traditional sidechain compression.
I like carve for that purpose.
I started to esperiment with Melda tho.
And Reason with simply automatiob is good so far..

I tried pump, but I recently decided that I think automating levels seems better (more control). Have you tried that instead?CaliforniaBurrito wrote: ↑08 Oct 2017I use CV out from a Kong midi ghost clip into a channel CV which is configured to duck a specified frequency range of an EQ.

That is the old tried and true. Nobody can mess with articulate automation. If U wanna spend hours and hours on fine tuning automation, be my guest. There are however, other tools in the tool boxOctopusbird wrote: ↑08 Oct 2017I tried pump, but I recently decided that I think automating levels seems better (more control).

If you're willing to go the VST route, there are some excellent dynamic EQs:
- TDR Nova (free!)
- Waves F6
- oeksound soothe
- Sonnox DynamicEQ (expensive)

I've automated level before instead of traditional sidechain compression which I would prefer in that scenario. Dynamic EQ via control voltage and Pump is enough for me though at this point. There is enough control in Pump for me to get the desired result.Octopusbird wrote: ↑08 Oct 2017I tried pump, but I recently decided that I think automating levels seems better (more control).

How reliable is Carve when it comes to effectiveness and accuracy? I read there were some issues. Just looking at it in the shop, I'm thinking I need a better display than that for starters.

This reminds me Ozone 7 has dynamic EQ which I haven't tried yet. Hopefully soon!
I've used Carve a bit, but haven't fallen in love with it. Yeah the UI is quite primitive, and I often have trouble finding the right range & sensitivity levels. Might be just me, I know other people love it. But I get much better results using GQ-7 with Red Rock Sound's RE 180CaliforniaBurrito wrote: ↑08 Oct 2017How reliable is Carve when it comes to effectiveness and accuracy?

FabFilter ProQ2. Its the shit!
It is not too much of an ask for people or things to be the best version of itself!

I will concur on that note!
What problems/effects do you want to address with dynamic EQing?
Yes it certainly is a superb EQ - but it's not a dynamic EQ.

Fabfilter MQ can act as a dynamic EQ.

Welcome to Reason!AttenuationHz wrote: ↑09 Oct 2017Why isn't it? There is CV inputs on the back which can be used to dynamically control the volume reduction of any curve!
One issue with using CV for audio control is it’s not running at audio rate. Not that it matters that much in most cases, but if you’re trying to catch transients, such as for ducking one instrument to make room for others (to control overall peak levels), then CV may lag too much to catch the highest peak in time to do something about it. CV for dynamic control works better at higher sample rates IMO, since CV rate is tied to audio rate (1/64th of audio rate).
