“ugly sound” ???

As a professional audio engineer of over 15 years I can assure you this eq is one of the cleanest out there, especially in the top end. It far surpasses many efforts by Waves and other more established brands.

Trust mem, re-evaluate the current version, there was a slight bug in the earliest version which you may have encountered, that’s the only reason I can think you may have come to that conclusion.
If you still somehow hear this eq as “ugly” I would strongly suggest that this is a big red flag for you ear training and / or monitoring environment, as something is clearly wrong there.

I don’t have it installed currently. Only thing I remembered is null tests didn’t null when they should.

Just for clarification ‘weird aliasing’ was an expression. I don’t know if its aliasing, it just has that ugly sound.

Nova is so good I’ll have to buy something from TDR to thank them.
Really much valued workhorse on pretty much every track in my songs.

I’ve never heard or measured any from it since launch. are you sure? did you measure it?
it does not alias at all. not even in dynamic mode. Vladislav is a very proficient and clean audio coder. This eq doesn’t even cramp at nyquist like some paid alternatives.
Please link to evidence of it aliasing.

I’ve never heard Nova as harsh up top at all. Nova and Slick are two of the sweetest sounding high eq boosts in existence imo. it’s tremendously smooth to my ears It doesn’t cramp towards nyquist like many (even paid efforts) still do today.

i own GE version of this, also Slick and Slick M plugins since early days. In time they got some new awesome features. I recommend everyone this and other TDR plugins

Let’s say this: developer behind that and other plugins is just a kind genius. If we dig deep he developed some of the greatest plugins we all need for instance limiter no.6 or molot compressor. All you need more is some descent reverb and delay and that’s it. Rest is just pure tweaking the knobs.

Nova has some weird aliasing, I can’t use it. It just ruins the sound.

My favorite Dynamic EQ. I bought the paid version and use it all the time.

Tokyo Dawn Records make some of the best plugins out there. Very simple and easy to use yet powerful plugins.
Even the free downloads are amazing and not limited and mainly it’s just one click download without any unwanted sign-ups and stuffs.
If you love their plugins you should consider getting the Gentleman edition. They are usually on sale for 10$ on Plugin Boutique and Audio Deluxe.
