Wavesfactory has announced its Equalizer plug-in, claiming ‘a new approach for tonal shaping of individual tracks, buses and entire mixes’.
Equalizer analyses the incoming signal in 32 bands and it boosts or cuts the level of each band separately in order for all of them to have the same level. The user can select various elements of the spectrum to affect, cut or boost as a percentage of the whole spectrum, adjust attack and release of reaction time, ‘tilt’ to apply the process to favour more low or high end content. The user can also apply M/S processing to apply the effect to mids or sides.
‘With real-time processing and zero latency, Equalizer delivers transparent results without any artefacts, resulting in a well-balanced and clear processed sound,’ the manufacturer says. ‘It can reduce muddiness, remove digital harshness, and adds brightness to dull tracks.
‘It effortlessly cleans your mix, providing a polished and cohesive result that allows all elements to blend harmoniously.’
Equalizer can be used on individual instruments, group buses or on a master bus, and, as it offers zero-latency processing, it can also be used in live applications.
Keyfeatures:
- Cut the effect as a percentage.
- Boost the effect as a percentage.
- Set the attack/release times in milliseconds.
- Set the amount of effect applied by changing the gain of each band.
- Tilt control favours high or low frequencies.
- Mix control the dry and wet signals.
- Automatic compensation of any signal changes.
- User drawable per-band amount.
- Low/high cut filters.
Equalizer requires MacOS (Intel and Silicon) from 10.13 (High Sierra) or Windows (7/8/10/11) to run, and is available in AAX, Audio Units, VST and VST3 formats.
