Pre-sales questions
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2005 8:53 pm
I was introduced to HarBAl by some kind folks in KVRaudio.
My original question was I was 'lost' in what to compress and what to EQ. Someone said I would save time by using HarBal.
I saw the web demo at http://www.har-bal.com/demo/harbaledit.html and read the Quick Start post in this forum. The product is fantastic and do not have a shocking price, but not sure whether it's applicable to what I'm doing at this stage (For mastering stage, sure).
Questions: -
1. I want to be able to detect the need for compression (gee, hard to find a tool for this and I don't think Harbal is any where near, correct) and then assist me to do compression (got WAVES plug-in for that)
2. Secondly, got Elemental Equim to deal with EQ spectrum analyse, but there are too many tracks to deal with. (I see HarBal falls in this category?)
2a. Are there any chance we can run HarBal on Cubase or must the mix be exported out and run on SoundForge/WaveLab or ?
2b. You deal with EQ on the whole, but don't deal with EQ at individual tracks?
3. I read the http://har-bal.com/mastering_process.php, but was a little confuse what role does HarBal play. Is Figure 5 what we are trying to achieve after the long chain of plug-ins?
