Har-Bal Users Forum BBS

We will limit the file size to prevent people from being able to upload malicious files and forcing only a couple of extensions to be able to go up...the more I think about it, it'll be cool!

Thank you a million times for your assistance with the forum upgrade. We really appreciate your help and knowledge.

The database will become a library that users worldwide will find helpful. I think between the filterbank and the .anl database, the process of eq'ing a file will move to the next level.
We may place a link directly from Har-Bal's menu bar that allows registered users access to the .anl database.

Great software, by the way. Keep up the good work!

Well Jerry, Dan was nice enough to build the dtabase you were inquiring about. You can go to our main page www.har-bal.com and click on the filter bank option from the main menu and upload either reference or filter files.

Thanks Dan,

You did a great job on it. I just had to give it a try so posted a complete collection of filters that I used to re-master Joe Jacksons landmark "Night & Day" album. The album is musically very interesting with ideas Joe Jackson seems to keep going back to but the tonal balance of the recording leaves much to be desired. Looking at the analyses under HarBal gives you the picture. Looks largely like room acoustic / monitoring environment issues cos the nature of the colouration is similar for all tracks. Overall I was very pleased with the re-mastering, though it took some time to get the sound I thought it deserved owing to the amount of EQ needed.

Paavo.

Glad to help.

For instance, if I had done a song I wanted to sound like, oh, Bing Crosby's "White Christmas", or Metallica's "Enter Sandman"--it would be nice to be able to use "White_Christmas.anl" or "Enter_Sandman.anl" as a reference.
