Is there such thing as dynamic EQ? For example I want to decrease 15-20 Hz to avoid port noise, but I want to decrease it only if it's above 80 db

I would hope so at a cost of $200, correct?

Yes, unfortunately you're correct. I'm using a trial for now, and will have to either pay or find an alternative when the trial ends...

Many readers here may be focused on only the 10-20 Hz dynamic attenuation for your BR subwoofer application. It can do that job without breaking a sweat.

However, when you consider what the plugin was meant to do, and what it can do for audio consumers (i.e., reversing some of the compression used for one-size-fits-all music tracks, this plugin is fairly spectacular, especially when you consider that it works just as well at playback time with a digital music player (as a VST plugin) as it does for audio file editing for saving the audio files for playback later.

I would be interested to learn what the Fab-4 dynamic plugin can do that the TDR Nova plugin cannot considering the huge price difference.

Well, in my case I couldn't make a steep curve with TDR Nova. I tried to reduce < 20 Hz and it was affecting even 100 Hz because the curve was very shallow. Maybe I just didn't understand how to achieve what I need with TDR Nova.

Fab-4 has a very good selection of filters, up to 96 db/octave, so it was very easy to make a steep curve, only affecting <= 15 Hz.

Selll the subs and go with big sealed ones maybe?
Good sealed subs extend to 10hz flat inroom and no port noise.

No, I'm perfectly happy with the subs. The chuffing was the only issue that bothered me a little (and it happened in like 0.1% of my music), but with the dynamic EQ, there's no issue anymore. It only decreases frequencies <= 15 Hz at high volume and doesn't affect 16+ Hz even at high volume.
