Default Harbal

I am surprised to see that AAMS has its own sub forum and yet Harbal doesn't even have it's own thread. it is very decentl priced and ihave found it to be a great help. Many old school Mastering guys sneer at it but when you discuss it with them you often find they haven't used it or they didn't use it's full potential. The automated leveling may be questionable and this is what many focus on but as visual aid when making manual tweaks with audio reference it is priceless. it shows you peaks in frequency and volume that are out of place and has great eq adjustment facilities based on a graph type curve system, which includes (and i don't quite understand what this means but we all know that dropping frequencies drops volume) some kind of loudness compensation. I recommend anyone try it! It can sound quite gadgety and gimmicky when reading up on it but in action it is magicc.
