Dear Slau,
Thanks for Sharing this.
I googled For surfer EQ, and found the concept very interesting. Have
you tried it yet? My question is, how does it work with polyphonic
material if it does.
Best,
JPR

A few years ago, I heard of a plug-in that was said to be great for
automatically phase aligning two sources. I forgot the name of the company but
I wasn't using the latest version of Pro Tools full time at the studio so I
forgot about it. A year later, Frank Filipetti told me about a plug-in he
couldn't live without called Surfer EQ. I looked into it and it was made by the
same company, Sound Radix. When I finally heard about yet another plug-in from
sound Radix that everybody was raving about (called Drum Leveler), I decided to
try Drum Leveler. This was last year. and I was finally using Pro Tools 11 on a
regular basis. I was particularly interested in Drum Leveler because, like
Sound Radix's other plug-ins, it was revolutionary in its design and
functionality.
I downloaded the demo and found that, while I could choose presets from the Pro
Tools preset pop-up menu, I couldn't change any parameters. I contacted the
developer and explained the situation and asked if they could look into it.
well, the folks at Sound Radix couldn't have been nicer and were very
interested in solving the issue. They asked me to make screen-capture QuickTime
movie of how I interacted with the plug-in and how I worked with VoiceOver in
general. They told me they thought they knew what the problem might be and that
they'd work on it at some point. Again, this was late last year.
Two days ago I received a link to a beta of the next Drum Leveler with some new
features and the problem was solved and I could control all parameters with
VoiceOver. Further, and more importantly, Sound radix had added some
functionality and support for VoiceOver directly into the JUCE platform for
software development. JUCE is a platform that is used by many audio plug-in
developers who create cross-platform plug-ins. Once officially incorporated
into JUCE (which will happen any day), any developer compiling plug-ins of any
format for any DAW will automatically accommodate VoiceOver for interacting
with the AAX version of the plug-in. I have no idea if this affects other DAWs
and platforms but I would imagine, since it is cross-platform, that it would.
At any rate, this was an unexpected fringe benefit of the developers at Sound
Radix to contribute to the JUCE project.
Further, Sound Radix will be updating the rest of their plug-ins which will fix
VoiceOver control within those plug-ins. Currently, they have four plug-ins:
Auto Align, which aligns phase relationships between two sources, π, which auto
aligns multiple sources, Surfer eQ, which is too crazy to try to explain and
Drum Leveler, which is a transient designer capable of independently
controlling separate transients.
There is a bundle of all four plug-ins for $599. Each plug-in is also sold
separately. For anybody who owns individual plug-ins, they do have periodic
sales and introductory offers from time to time. For example, when Drum
Leveler came out, it was 99 dollars and now it's 149 dollars and, in honor of π
day (3 14 15), their π plug-in, normally 249 dollars, is only 99 dollars.
Again, mind you, the current downloadable versions of the software don't work
well with VoiceOver but do work with control surfaces. As soon as I hear about
the updates, I'll let the list know. The point is that this developer has
really been very supportive and has potentially helped a number of other
plug-in developers by contributing modules to the JUCE project for software
development.
