I like this plug-in. One thing I've been struggling with is balancing
the coyote sounds, something I find hard to do just by ear alone. I
tried doing spectrum comparisons in Audition and then tweaking based on differences, but the plug-in does a better job. It's the demo version
so I can't save anything. One drawback was that it wouldn't export its settings for a mixdown from multitrack. However, I got around this by jotting down the EQ settings it suggests, then opening and applying the manually inputted settings on a mixed down wave file. It does seem to
allow that to save. They have another plug-in I also have installed
called SlickEQ, but haven't tried that one yet. It is similar to Nova,
but not as complex.

1) Nova is not only an EQ, but also a kind of multiband dynamics processor
2) Slick EQ is "just" an EQ for somewhat different purposes
There IS a completely free version named only "TDR Nova" which has a few features/functions less than the "GE (=Gentleman´s Edition)", but is
still quite useful.
As I see, Nova GE has an additional "smart operations" feature, but you might get close manually with the free version.
All TDR plug-ins have a free version and a paid GE/Mastering version
with more features and I suggest everybody to get at least their free
stuff - if you like, be nice and buy the GE and/or Mastering versions.
This is good stuff from a bunch of guys who won several "KVR Developer Challenges" with their plug-ins, so you can assume they know, what
they´re doing.
Besides that, once in a while Izotope "Ozone Elements" (and more seldom "Neutron Elements") is available as a free give-away - both include a "smart"/"learn" feature, which analyses the incoming audio and provides
some suggested settings. Look out for give-aways of those in addition to
TDR Nova (GE), so you can try which works better in a given situation.
Good luck with your quest and enjoy "playing" around! ;-)
