Re: Who invented the dynamic EQ
Quote:
So you probably meant dynamic EQ´s, so here it goes:the dynamic EQ´s I worked with, were the one that makes part of Izotope Final Mix, the one in Ozone 8 and more recently, Fabfilter Pro Q3, which, by the way, is not a multiband compressor, like you said above (by mistake I believe). The differences you point between the two processor types are true and there´s a narrow line between the implementation of a multiband compressor and a dynamic EQ. Also the slopes, while variable in a multiband compressor, are static, compared to a dynamic EQ. Another thing is that some dynamic EQ´s have their Q in a variable form, depending on the input gain, once it passes the threshold. But technically and to my ears, I find the way a compressor works in reducing or expanding gain, even if multiband, is different from dynamic EQ´s and the applications are different too, although that depends on the user perspective of course.

Re: Who invented the dynamic EQ
That's true, I suppose it's because of the artifacts inherent to the multiband circuit. The dynamic EQ is transparent when idle while multiband compressors change the sound even when there's no gain reduction although I don't know if this happens to linear phase multiband too.

Never did any comparison with minimum phase or linear phase multiband compressors. Even for de-essing, I use mainly spectral de-essing on Izotope´s RX, I find it more natural to my ears. In my early days, when working with hardware, I used to split the signal so that one leg would feed an EQ, from there to the compressor side chain and the other leg to the compressor main input. That was de-essing and other creative utilities, depending on the EQ settings, but I´m glad I can do it withing one plugin now. When using dynamic EQ, I like to key it from another source too, it adds another element that can work well. For instance, to balance instruments or voice vs music that are sharing/competing for the same space in the mix. I use to do that with multiband compressors, but I prefer dynamic EQ´s more now. I always did like compression, but since loudness rules came into effect around the world, I tend to use it more for creative purposes and mix more dinamically. It sounds better in my opinion.

Well, according to my personal technical understanding on the subject, I don´t really think I can add any more to this thread.
