Longtime user of Frequency as a de-esser. One other feature that most de-essers don't have is a release time. I always set my release time for de-essing to somewhere between 1ms and 15ms, depending on the tempo and phrasing. Anything slower makes the vocal sound like its oscillating between syllables.

Great tutorial on Frequency 2. Thanks again Steve

Another excellent video from Steve and very clear explanations, as usual, of some of the features of that amazing EQ. We have several fancy EQ plugins in our studio, but our frequent go-to is still the stock Frequency2 in Cubase because of the versatile features you explained so clearly. We love using the M/S and sidechain functions on it as well. And I liked the sound of the first country song there!

Great use of the Swiss army knife. Excellent demo.

Since I'm using Studio One 6.6 and not Cubase, I'm doing a similar action with my SSL X-DynEQ. However I'm also doing mid side EQ on top of it, so EQ, compressor, expander, with designated areas of stereo, L/R, M/S setting per band of which there's 24 bands.

Great video! I’ve always understood the uses for dynamic REDUCTION, but this is a good explanation of uses for dynamic increase. I would love to see you tackle the Quadrafuzz plugin.

Frequency 2 can do something that do no other plugin in the world can do (that I know of): it accepts different side-chain sources PER BAND. Every other plugin will only let you set the sidechain for the entire plugin - not per band though!

[jimsanger]

Its a great bit of kit, I just wish they'd make it scalable so you can see what you're doing clearly

[flumetron]

This is my go to EQ so this has been very useful: thanks Steve. Pity about the third example being rap crap but 🤷‍♂️

[Markrspooner]

Great video but I did have to search RTA 😂 It might only be me that didn’t know what it is. It means Real Time Analyzer
