I like this program alot. It's a good learning tool to reference your recordings against professional ones.

I think Dan Swanö is using this. Theres a link to Har-Bal at unisound website anyway. You guys think curve-eq would be better? Does any of you use curve-eq for mastering?

I've used Har-Bal before and it's harder to work with than CurveEQ and less accurate IMO. Unless you spend a while matching the spectrum yourself. Although if you are interested in using it, there are some tutorials online with good information.

I never use CurveEq to match an entire spectrum while mastering, but I do use it to check the low end if the conditions for listening is shitty.

One plugin i really loved using is freefilter.. Swano used that as well, maybe still does, i dont know.
But it was too heavy on the CPU and it crashed too much, you could really blend like a ninja with that plug, something im missing in curve EQ.

Reading that, it does make much sense does it? "blend like a ninja"... lol.
No, what i mean is that you could very accurately blend your EQ spectrum with the EQ spectrum you copied, from 1% up to 100% and it really, really worked well.
I dont know if harbal does this as well, probably does, but i have not discovered this yet with Curve EQ.

I prefer using ears and a good EQ....matching EQ will never sound as good as a well set EQ cause different material need different treatment (try to apply the "godless endeavour" EQ-curve on the "end of heartache" mix and you'll know what I mean).
for the fans of matching EQ: ever tried Firium?

Yeah...I've tried Firium and Harbal. In my opinion EQ matching sucks big time across a mix, and its a flawed system. I think of it more as a novelty. I currently use Firium, but not for the match feature...it's a nice software EQ.
Does anyone know can I get curveeq to work in real time without noticeable latency? would be kick ass for guitar amp modelling
depends on your rigg i guess... works fine for me without any delay, however, when i load up around 70 plugs, with big plugins as well it gets latency. So it's pure how much your system can handle. I would say, go model your guitar tone in a clean project without anything else, and just use those settings in a big project.
