Dynamic EQ

[napynap]

Do we have any dynamic EQ RE's like Nova or Soothe2? I like to stay within the Reason ecosystem when I can.

There is a dynamic EQ in the RE shop, but it is not as flexible as Nova and not nearly close to Soothe. And I remember that someone made a Combinator with dynamic EQ that uses stock devices

The only one I know under Reason

Soothe isn’t really a dynamic EQ.

Yep, that's the cool thing about Reason, that you can pretty much create anything in it.

There is another option from Red Rock Sound:

This one together with the RE302 EQ and RE60 spectrum analyzer seems to allow for a combinator solution. But I‘ve never tried it.

I have, tho not for a while. My memory is a little fuzzy but overall it's quite a fun set up to play with. It has some good points, some not so ideal. Not so good: IIRC there's no q control for the EQ so if you want to duck across a wider spectrum than it offers you need to use a Spider to patch to multiple consecutive frequencies. (it's designed to be pretty surgical to be fair). Also the spectrum analyzer is deliberately quite old school and it's kind of hard to read and inflexible.

On the other hand you can get very creative with patching and that's really where it shines. The simplest use is to find where a particular frequency is standing out with the spectrum analyzer, patch it through the driver and then to the matching frequency on the eq, which acts as a dynamic eq and ducks that frequency - and you can do this multiple times as the driver has a bank of compressors. But you can also patch to a different frequency, as I said use a Spider to patch to multiple frequencies on the eq from a single source frequency , or eq a sound using a different source. I've never tried it and I've always been meaning to, but you can also invert the incoming cv signal into the eq to drive a frequency up rather than ducking it - which I think means you could set every eq setting to zero and then use it as a moving spectral filter. Or whatever else.

Thanks for the suggestions! Although a bit older, if they work and sounds good then I'm good with that . Hopefully, some more modern takes will come to the RE store someday.

Missing the brief of keeping in the RE ecosystem, but I highly recommend both Sonible Smart:EQ 4, and Wavesfactory Trackspacer.

Definitely misses the great rack-integrated user experience but these are powerful tools that can really help improve your mix.

Would also recommend the free Voxengo Span vst for inspecting your mix and looking for mid-side issues that can cause your mix to fail when collapsing to mono. Then use Smart:EQ 4 for your mid-side EQ'ing.
