For shaping individual sounds, it's a cool EQ, but enhancing the whole mix must be just about the best EQ I've heard. Pure mojo.

@markphilpot4981 5 лет назад

Chandler requires no explanation. Hand soldered, hand wired and hand built! No compromises and no regrets! It is in the Neve league! Duh! True craftsmanship! I love gear like this. It is very fine!😊👍🏻

Emi though

@bentyreman5769 9 лет назад

holy crap, this might just be the best EQ I've ever heard...

@lawrencegreenwood4002 6 лет назад

An over used term, but it is the most '3D' sounding eq I've heard...really dimentionally active.

@nobodyneverknows 5 лет назад

An over used term but this is most 5 D sounding eq Ive heard . Its really dimentionally active. Like a lot.

@IoannisKazlaris 9 лет назад

The pad treatment was great :-)

@Houstnwehavuhoh 9 лет назад

It is incredible how musical yet powerful this EQ is. So rich and creamy. Fantastic top end. The more I look in to the Chandler stuff the more I want it.. all of it. Would love if you could demo the TG2 pre's. Ive been eyeing those down for awhile now. Thanks for the cool demos.

@DJHazadous1 6 лет назад

I’m really sold on this eq. However many things sound better when they are louder. Would have liked to have seen you trim down to try to match levels pre and post processing. But no doubt this is an amazing eq. Very ‘active’.

@revelationsoundstudio 8 лет назад

There is some character but it's not over bearing. Enhances in a nice way. Can't afford one but thankfully there is a UAD Chandler Curve Bender plug in available for us poor lads

@alieustiansamateh6401 6 лет назад

Should be possible to like a 100 times! Jeeez, love this EQ! Best i ever heard ❤

@PHELCAN 6 лет назад

I would recommend pairing with a focusrite ISA One preamp. Both of them seem to be of the same sound family both being great sounding all Transistor units.

@florin1290 8 лет назад

Wow, beautiful sound. This is really amazing, thank you for shearing !!!

@audiokemestry Год назад

For my mastering chain, it was between the Curve Bender and the Massive Passive. Ended up going with the MP...and I love it...but I still would love to check out the Curve Bender in the studio.

@alexd4238 4 года назад

Chandler is a legendary and brilliant equipment! This is really best from the best! I'm conten for now uad plugin, very cool saturates low! Amazing sound!

@df4808 6 лет назад

Excellent Video !!! Watched several times !!!! Now l definitly want that eq !!!!! Keep it up Doctor Mix, you know how to make things sound better, you have great ears and a good discernment !!!!

Do you have chandler ltd minirack mixer? Kind regards😁

@RobbieBalatincz 9 лет назад

Great demonstration! I'm looking at getting a versatile eq and this is at the top of my list. I'd like to mainly have it across my 2 buss. Is this versatile enough to cover all genres? Hows it handle dance music, music with lots of bass and sharp transients? That's my biggest concern as I've read it may not be the best eq for that. Cheers!

@MadelnMachines 4 года назад

Oh come on - 6 grand for an EQ? I wish it sounded dreadful! Is it supposed to click in the audio chain with every knob movement and button press? I

@Punkdebutique 6 лет назад

How does this compare with the Manley Massive Passive?

@johnnymassacre 5 лет назад

I have both. Totally, totally different. The Massive Passive is ridiculous for mastering. I can make anything sound enhanced. The saturation and high end sounds "like a record". The Curve Bender is all about how much you drive it. It's almost like a distortion box. I am not a fan of its high end, I usually can't get anything to sound better (as far as mastering goes) with the Curve Bender on the top end. The Curve Bender, though, is all about warmth, tone and personality. It's all about the mid and low sections. And here it sounds unique. It has a kind of gooey thunk to it, and gives audio personality and loads of character. I'd say the Massive Passive is suited for mastering and bass processing, and the Curve Bender is suited to colouring things in a way software just can't that'll make you stand out from the competition.

@diegooliveirabenjamin 9 лет назад

Great great stuff guys, I'm actually thinking of picking one of these up to do some mastering, but I need an eq that can do almost everything for now, would that be a good option for general use? Thanks for the great video.

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Thanks for the appreciation :-) The Curve Bender is VERY flexible indeed. We have used on just about anything you can possibly use it on, and we are always impressed by it. It's got character but it retains an incredible clarity. Its good for mastering, it's good for mixing. I can't say enough great things about this unit. If you can afford it go for it man!

@diegooliveirabenjamin 9 лет назад

And what would be a good comp to cover most of the job I'd be doing in simple mastering? I mean, my clients not always have the funds to hire a proper mastering engineering, and I would love to give them some option. Thanks for taking the time to answer me guys, you are the best!

@petefaders 7 лет назад

so good

@jenkins2300 9 лет назад

Doctor Mix , do you like this EQ also on vocals or is it mainly your 2-Bus compressor? Thanks for all the vids, really awesome!

@alex117503 9 лет назад

Really cool!

@EarleHolder 8 лет назад

@nandoblondemobydick5438 5 лет назад

Guitar still harsh i wont EQ like this, Drums superb when you engage bass, god job. lot better than the Pultec to me i have just liten to the pultec. pad unbeliveble hahhaha supeb depth. disco superb as well. wow!!! i want this :-)

@PatrickPleau 9 лет назад

Crazy goodddddd. and you got the TG Limiter on top? any demos soon?

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Hey Patrick! How have you been? Yup, that's the Zener Limiter... video coming soon indeed :)

@PatrickPleau 9 лет назад

Doctor Mix nice nice and nice :)

@xwz0763 7 лет назад

Wooo! Do u think it is the best eq u have ever used?

@Doctormix 7 лет назад

Hi yanyi tong, all EQs have slightly different curves and saturation characteristics. This is certainly one of our favourites though ;)

@merchannel7762 3 года назад

What synth is making that pad? Help Doctor!

@MrDjLESTY 2 года назад

whats the diff with the zener?

@kazpermusic 4 года назад

@ArmorKingEmir 9 лет назад

i have the plugin, gonna see how it stacks up with the real thing

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Please let us know!

@PatrickPleau 9 лет назад

If it's a Waves plugin it will sound "ok" pretty interface, low and CPU. if you want the real sound go for Nebula or Acustica Plugins. that is the real deal :) but sorry they are not cracked ;) the real thing is hard to crack to anyway. go to pay. cheers

@ArmorKingEmir 9 лет назад

***** i already downloaded cracked Acustica plugin bundle on Russian torrent site. also i have contacts with some hackers that crack anything for 20% of the price lol cheers. BTW there is a good emulation of this eq by abbey roads. gonna test it today and reply about the quality.

@PatrickPleau 9 лет назад

ArmorKingEmir please douche, dont hack my account :) have fun. hope you make good use of them. example: good music. :) peace yo!

@BigMuff75 4 года назад

It automatically sounds better because of the easily 3-4 dB of unattenuated gain boost you created

@fearlesssound8275 2 года назад

should anyone spent his money on this eq just and only for guitars? i know i have mental issues but...

@merchannel7762 4 года назад

Uhhh what synth was that? Juno60?

@dreamwavedave 7 лет назад

@ 5:41 already had them on ;-)

@jeff49605 8 лет назад

@ArmorKingEmir 9 лет назад

you are so rough on those knobs. gonna break that shit one day. if i had thing this expensive i would probably wear gloves )

@heinseemann7070 5 лет назад

I am not impressed by the sound. But the machine is damn good looking with that tough military equipment style.

@adart2496 4 года назад

Dude, if you don't use the output knobs to create volume parity between the source material WITH the Chandler and the source WITHOUT the Chandler, then you are not making a case for the Chandler. You know this, Mr. Mix, so why don't you do it?

@GingerDrums 3 года назад

Again, why not even try to gain match??

@federicolopezmusic 8 лет назад

...comparare l'EQ senza normalizzare il livello è insensato... :-)

@Doctormix 8 лет назад

Davvero? Per cui ogni volta che equalizzi un rullante per tirargli fuori la pacca poi abbassi il volume del fader?

@federicolopezmusic 8 лет назад

+Doctor Mix certamente! Normalizzo tutto. Guadagni spazio e aumenti gli RMS a ogni mossa. Ma è un discorso lungo ho fatto un corso che spiega molto accuratamente il concetto. Comunque componenti per il canale ;-)

@DJURBANBG 3 года назад

GAIN MATCH !!!!!

@fullalbums5675 3 года назад

exactly, no wonder it "sounds better" when boosting 3 bands by 5dB and not attenuating the output

@mcastromusic 4 года назад

mastering example was so ridiculous lol

@doedsstierna 9 лет назад

When you use the eq to add, A/B-testing by switching in/out doesn't tell you anything about what you are really doing because the two signals you are comparing are not level matched. EQ in will be louder and therefore almost always sound "better" than out. This is a classic newbie mistake and an amateurish approach to eq-ing.

@Doctormix 9 лет назад

Hi Tobias! Thanks for your comment. I don't agree that you should level match with an EQ. Let me give you an example: you want to give some vocals more mid range because they don't cut through a mix, so you go on and push 1.5k by 3db with a wide Q. Now you have more mids and a bit more level. What happens if you pull down the output by 1.5db to compensate? What really happens is that you pull down all of the other frequencies by 1.5 db and you let the mid range push through just by 1.5db more, changing the relationship between the vocals and the rest of the mix! So your correction is now gives you a new set of problems! Do you see what I mean? Level matching when A/Bing a compression can be useful (although in real mixing life is not the most important thing)... but I'd never do it on EQ! Hope this helps.

@mrnorbotron3308 9 лет назад

Doctor Mix The overall-level must be matched, wich is in this video not. The in-signal is clearly louder I think Tobias is right. But anyway, what an outstanding eq! Great video!

@DevAvidon 8 лет назад

+Doctor Mix Firstly, let me say that I find your videos incredibly valuable, and I'm grateful for the resources you graciously and continuously provide. Your engineering acumen is clearly at a high level. However, I don't think that your explanation as to why gain matching for the purpose of a comparison isn't useful vis-a-vie EQ makes sense. The total energy as defined as SPL for all frequencies is constantly being attenuated in all playback scenarios. That's the entire nature of a volume control. Whether I'm lowering the gain of the track itself or attenuating the volume (leaving aside the inherent advantages or disadvantages of one method of attenuation vs another), the end result is essentially the same. I'm not pulling down all the other frequencies by 1.5db if I trim the gain by 1.5, I'm pulling down all frequencies including the one I just boosted. The relative relationship should stay identical. I won't belabor the point as to why gain-matched comparisons are valuable in real-time A/Bs, as that's a well-worn argument at this point, but I certainly don't think it's not technically possible to achieve meaningful gain matching for EQ.

@Doctormix 8 лет назад

+Dev Avidon +MrNorbotron +Tobias Eklund Hi Dev, I'm sure we can speculate on the mathematics of it forever ;-) But in real mixing and mastering life you just reach the EQ knob to either correct or enhance the sound. And touching this or that frequency on a machine like this is not just a matter of changing dBs of level here and there. EQs of this kind have a sound and they are so expensive because that sound is personal and special. Level matching might be a more legitimate technique for compression, but with EQ? EQ is just EQ. Even raising the level by using a good preamp is a legitimate mixing technique. If it was only a case of louder-sounds-better and nothing else then we wouldn't need any gear, just a volume knob. In my humble, humble opinion, I think you should try to hear past the change in level and understand how the harmonic content and texture changes. It's very subtle... but mixing and mastering are amazingly subtle actions. In other words: there is louder and louder, and you can't rely on scientific A/B to understand the difference. It's music and I always try to use my musical mind, which I suspect is the n.1 reason why our mixing & mastering service is so successful. God I love talking about audio!!!
