[00:00:00] Yo, welcome back. So I have another plug-in for you guys and I'm working on this for quite some time
[00:00:06] It's called polarity match EQ and the name says it all it's a magic you but there are some
[00:00:13] Some twists to it, right?
[00:00:17] So I want to explain how it works and yeah, this plug-in is also completely free
[00:00:23] You don't need to sign up. You don't need to use iLock or whatever it works on all systems
[00:00:30] and
[00:00:31] It's free. Okay, so in between here. I have it already loaded in
[00:00:35] multiple times
[00:00:38] And I have to see on the base. Okay, so I have a base bus here and it's the magic you
[00:00:44] After the synth here and you can see we are here in the view called compare and we compare basically here our profile
[00:00:53] Which is something I analyzed before some other track, right?
[00:01:00] And also in blue you can see the current base
[00:01:03] Coming from this synthesizer. So there's not much difference there, right? You can see on the processing tab you can see
[00:01:11] the EQ curve that is applied to this base, so it's
[00:01:16] Is it's not a big difference, but you can see see there's still some kind of difference and we have here a global slider
[00:01:24] So you can say I don't want to dial in an aq at all or I want to have a full
[00:01:29] Frequency match. So this is the basic idea by default. This is always here on 50%
[00:01:35] So besides the frequency match we have also here a loudness match as you can see at the target max
[00:01:42] Short term is minus nine dot nine loaves db
[00:01:50] So this is also match. So when you analyze another track or another bus or a master and so on and
[00:01:56] You learn the frequency
[00:01:59] Distribution it also learns the loudness and saves it with the profile. So when you load in the profile
[00:02:07] You also match the loudness of everything. So it's not only a frequency match. It's also a loudness match
[00:02:17] On top of that, I'm also analyzing the dynamic range. So when I hit play on the base
[00:02:24] Have the base here
[00:02:27] There's also your dynamic slider
[00:02:29] That you can dial in and at the moment it doesn't do that much, but you can crank this up if you want to
[00:02:37] You can see it tries to compensate your dynamically certain frequencies and
[00:02:44] The idea behind this is that sometimes you
[00:02:48] Yeah, music evolves over time, right? So it's not a static match. Sometimes a static match is enough
[00:02:56] But here I also wanted to have a dynamic match
[00:02:59] Which means I'm measuring on the source material the dynamic range in certain frequencies
[00:03:05] And then I try to match it with the target
[00:03:10] Frequency spectrum and this dynamic range. So when certain frequencies go over
[00:03:15] The threshold it tries to push it that the frequencies down and when it's too low it tries to push up the frequencies
[00:03:24] Up so okay, and you can dial in here how much DB you want to have this
[00:03:32] Dynamic EQ working in right so if you say I don't want to have this thing
[00:03:39] Yeah, not pushing not more than 2 DB then you can dial us in here also the speed how fast it reacts
[00:03:46] more slowly or
[00:03:49] Much faster or if you don't like this feature at all you just dial down your dynamics and it's just a static EQ matching, right?
[00:03:58] Just a static EQ. So it's not only a static frequency match
[00:04:04] comparison comparison from the source material is also a dynamic match, and it's also
[00:04:09] Loudness match
[00:04:12] So this is what I try to combine
[00:04:14] Then there's something on top
[00:04:18] We have you also carve that's that's the name I gave it. So not only a comparison here
[00:04:25] We have also a calf EQ and
[00:04:27] This one here is at the moment
[00:04:30] Not enabled. So let's say we have to see on the bass, right and then we have drums
[00:04:35] And what we want to do now is you want to carve out the frequencies of the
[00:04:44] Drums from the bass bus and we can do this here, but just using
[00:04:49] Sideshain
[00:04:52] So I'm selecting here drum bass drums bus the drums master
[00:04:56] Post or maybe I just use post here and then I can learn here the car of a cue and
[00:05:04] Looks like this
[00:05:06] What you can see here is basically the frequency distribution of the drums bus
[00:05:12] Coming in and you don't need to learn that long just it's just enough, right?
[00:05:17] And what we can do now with this is we can
[00:05:22] Use here this threshold called calf threshold can pull this down and then it applies some kind of inverse EQ
[00:05:30] To the signal so we can carve out the drums from the base
[00:05:36] When we go to processing here, you can also see this here, right?
[00:05:40] And this is not a separate EQ
[00:05:44] It's not like I have a cue for matching and then I have a cue for the car for you. No, this is just one a cue
[00:05:51] But we calculate the carve a cue into the magic you so you end up one single
[00:05:57] Static a cue that's idea
[00:06:01] Also, you can see at a started line
[00:06:04] This is the side channel. So we also match not only the mid or the stereo signal. We match basically
[00:06:10] The mid and the side channel separately which allows us also to control the width of the stereo signal
[00:06:20] So with this a cue
[00:06:22] You are allowed to control a lot of things just with one plug-in the frequency distribution for the mid channel for the side channel
[00:06:30] Dynamic EQ matching. We also have loudness matching and we have a calf a cue to make actually room on another track
[00:06:41] based on a different track or a different bus and
[00:06:45] I always
[00:06:47] Use this kind of technique here, but with multiple plug-ins
[00:06:50] So I'm just using, you know a spectrum
[00:06:54] Suppressor then I use a magic you then I use a
[00:06:59] Clipper because we have also your clipper in there. You can activate the PCM clip
[00:07:04] Clipper and also maybe a side chain
[00:07:10] Frequency suppressor so I can cut out certain frequencies based on another track
[00:07:17] So here I can do this just with one EQ
[00:07:19] So, yeah, that's basically the rough idea behind it
[00:07:24] When we have here this frequency curve applied
[00:07:30] This takes a lot of latency you can see here
[00:07:35] What does it use?
[00:07:39] 92 milliseconds, so it's a lot of
[00:07:43] Lot of latency if you want to play the piano or if you want to sing you record a vocal track, right?
[00:07:49] And you you don't need the latency you want to have
[00:07:53] instant
[00:07:56] Results more or less so you can switch this here to
[00:07:59] Zero latency which lowers the quality of the filters or of the EQ
[00:08:05] But it brings the latency down to you basically zero
[00:08:12] It's not listed here anymore because it hasn't zero latency and
[00:08:16] Yeah, if you render out the track it switches automatically to mastering or back to mastering
[00:08:22] so you can use this EQ here also on tracks or on
[00:08:26] Projects where you still want to record something and you don't need the latency
[00:08:32] So it's possible with this plug-in
[00:08:35] On top of that we also have here for this EQ curve also something like cuts
[00:08:42] So you can say I want to have a low cut. I want to have an high cut and
[00:08:45] Yeah, you can shape basically this one single EQ in all kinds of different directions and it helps you to
[00:08:54] Get a better master maybe or better bus frequency responses
[00:09:01] So this is basically the main functionality. You can learn here at the top a new profile or a new source material
[00:09:10] maybe extracted from another track or from another
[00:09:14] Bus or whatever and then you have this curve in here and then you learn the current signal and then it's automatically
[00:09:22] giving you a difference on
[00:09:26] Yeah, the difference EQ curve and applied automatically then to your current signal. So it matches
[00:09:33] What you learned in here?
[00:09:37] If you learn something you can put this then here on the right hand reference browser
[00:09:42] You can see you have multiple
[00:09:44] profiles saved and
[00:09:47] Not only that
[00:09:50] Sometimes I also wanted to collect certain profiles into one big
[00:09:54] Collection so let's say here. I analyzed here
[00:09:58] The bass bus of another track and the drums from another track and the master of this track, right?
[00:10:07] Or multiple tracks and then what I can do is I can select here these things and can say I want to create a set from that
[00:10:14] So you click set and then you say, oh this profile is the base
[00:10:19] This profile here are the drums and this is the master, right? And then you create a set from that
[00:10:25] I don't do this here because I already did that
[00:10:28] And then you end up with these kind of folders here
[00:10:32] So you can say I have here a folder for drum and bass ambient or ambient drum base
[00:10:38] What I do sometimes and I need some curves and I have a curve for the master
[00:10:43] I also have curve for the drums a curve for the bass and for the music, you know all the pads and
[00:10:50] Maybe vocals I have vocals also extra here
[00:10:52] So what I can do now is I can load this in and it gives me then a different EQ curve
[00:10:59] So here I'm on the base. Of course, I need to load in the base and it also loads in here the
[00:11:06] Loudness, maybe I can actually zoom this in for whatever reason
[00:11:11] So it gives you also the loudness
[00:11:13] So with this profile you save all the things that are really important for this type of bus or for this master
[00:11:21] Chain and you can really create some kind of consistency between your tracks, right?
[00:11:29] So you have always the drums sitting in a certain space
[00:11:32] You have also always the drums in a certain loudness with a certain dynamic range and you also have the bass sitting in the exact
[00:11:41] Right spot and so on so you can create consistency with this. It's not a plug-in
[00:11:48] for people that are lazy and you know, I don't want to EQ anything. It's just the tool
[00:11:55] that you can use to create more consistency and maybe see if you are off in certain spots and
[00:12:02] I'm really liking this. I'm using this all the time on my tracks or my recent tracks and it works really great
[00:12:10] Another thing I want to show you is yeah, if you created multiple
[00:12:17] Profiles here on the right side. You can also select multiple profiles. Let's say you saved your multiple
[00:12:25] Profiles for drums. You have multiple tracks and
[00:12:29] you
[00:12:31] Analyze the drums on all of these tracks. So you have three times
[00:12:34] Three different drum buses as a profile. So you can select them these things here and can say I want to
[00:12:42] Combine these and
[00:12:45] Then it makes some kind of average out of all of these
[00:12:50] Different profiles and that's important when you want to have a certain style. So for instance here I have
[00:12:57] Let's deselect all of this
[00:13:00] Like I said, you have drum bass chill out drum bass deep tech, right?
[00:13:04] And here with this profile, I analyzed at least 10 different tracks
[00:13:10] So I used 10 different drum bass tracks. I
[00:13:14] Sended them all through DMUX to get all the different stems. So I have drums and bass and music and so on separated
[00:13:21] And then I analyzed all these different stems and created an average for each of these profiles
[00:13:28] And then my then I kind of end up with the profile that gives me an average of where
[00:13:34] Everything needs to sit in the mix and how loud everything needs to be and how wide everything needs to be
[00:13:42] So it gives me some kind of
[00:13:44] security in terms of
[00:13:47] Yeah, in terms of loudness and frequency distribution need to load this. Yeah, they use that probably
[00:13:55] So, yeah, that's that's basically the main idea behind it
[00:14:02] Maybe something else I could explain. Yeah, you have some certain things here some advanced stuff you can use
[00:14:12] for instance here to apply gate and
[00:14:14] use it
[00:14:17] You can see here
[00:14:20] It's a threshold for the frequencies. So when the frequencies are basically
[00:14:25] below this threshold, they are not
[00:14:29] Used for the calculation of the difference here, right? So you can
[00:14:35] Exclude certain frequencies based on loudness. There's also a learn gate and there's also here a shift
[00:14:43] So for instance, if you have here a profile in yellow, which is a base, right?
[00:14:48] It's a base. You can see. Oh, this is probably here the fundamental of the base
[00:14:53] And this is the fundamental of my base. So you can shift this here around and put this roughly in the same place
[00:15:00] So it's additional parameter to match basically
[00:15:04] The key of the track, right? So your track is an F and your source material is I don't know in a
[00:15:13] Much much deeper and the sharp and you want to compensate for that. You can do this here, right?
[00:15:18] So it changes then here the
[00:15:21] Outcome a little bit
[00:15:23] It's not that drastic. It's not that, you know, but you can do it. So you can shift this year around
[00:15:29] so certain parameters here you can use to
[00:15:32] Change the plug into your lifestyle basically
[00:15:40] Then also down here we have the safe reference. So when you analyze here, basically a track we can hit
[00:15:45] save here or type in a name and then it's
[00:15:49] Popping up here in this kind of list
[00:15:52] You can also delete this here. Then there's also your EQ
[00:15:56] Impulse response export. So the
[00:16:00] Static curve here not a dynamic one. So this one here is it's excluded. So only this
[00:16:08] Green static one you can export as an impulse response if you want to use it in a convolution reverb
[00:16:15] for whatever reason
[00:16:18] In my case, it's always important because when I want to share my tracks and
[00:16:22] people don't have this plug in here for instance, and I just want to keep the
[00:16:28] Keep the project
[00:16:31] With all the native devices I can just use here the export and use the EQ curve with that
[00:16:38] So this was the idea behind it
[00:16:40] Yeah, and these buttons here you can
[00:16:43] Show and hide certain overlays
[00:16:49] If you care for that most important one is of course you're the processing one because it shows you the EQ curve
[00:16:56] That's what what's applied to the signal
[00:17:01] In my opinion
[00:17:03] I like it. I don't know if if you if you like it, I like it. That's exactly what I wanted the for magic you
[00:17:11] I have this on the drums. I have this on the bass. I have this here on the master. I have this here on the master
[00:17:18] Right, you can see I have my clue
[00:17:22] Thing in front and then I have here at the end. I have this one PCM click a clip enabled
[00:17:29] so it doesn't go over zero DB and
[00:17:32] Yeah, just hit normalize and you hit exactly minus six point zero
[00:17:38] laughs short term
[00:17:41] So, yeah, that's the plug in so want to show you this as a first introduction
[00:17:47] maybe you
[00:17:50] There was not and there was not that much music in the video. I hope no one is
[00:17:57] Is mad about this because people usually just want to hear what's going on
[00:18:01] But it's just an EQ. I mean, you know how an EQ sounds. There's not much sound to it
[00:18:06] But it's on the website I show you this here
[00:18:12] Just hit go over to this website here hit download and you can see it's for Windows Mac OS Linux
[00:18:18] Let me know if you run into problems
[00:18:22] Like I said in all the other videos Mac OS is always a problem with the
[00:18:27] What's the name Guardian?
[00:18:30] file file guard that
[00:18:32] Prevents you from loading
[00:18:35] Plug-ins that are not signed with Apple which costs me one on the box a year, which I don't want to pay
[00:18:40] So make sure you disable
[00:18:43] The Guardian of the galaxy. Okay, also Windows Linux your clap. Yes, you three Lv2
[00:18:51] Also Windows vs. You three and clap and so on
[00:18:55] Yeah, that's the idea short description
[00:18:59] AI based of course as you do these days
[00:19:04] But no login no serial number. No, I lock nothing just download the binaries and you know
[00:19:12] Let it happen
[00:19:14] Have some fun
[00:19:16] Anyway, so that's that
[00:19:22] If you have questions, of course, let me know in the comments down below
[00:19:25] Probably do some more videos on this and how I use that in more practical terms
[00:19:31] But I want to make first the video to explain what it is how it works give you a rough overview
[00:19:37] But I probably do some videos on how I use all these plug-ins. I showed you in the recent times and
[00:19:43] Yeah to
[00:19:47] Give you more practical examples
[00:19:50] Anyway, that's it. Thanks for watching. Leave me a like leave a subscription, of course
[00:19:54] I mean on the channel and give me some feedback. Okay. Thanks for watching. Bye
