SoundOutTheBox releases XTrack EQ32 v1.0

Posted on by

SoundOutTheBox has released version 1.0.0 of XTrack EQ32. XTrack EQ32 is a 32 bands equalizer with a low CPU usage.

Whereas most of equalizers support only stereo control, XTrack EQ32 gives you the possibility to control a Mono, a Stereo, a LRS, a Quatro and an 8.0 Music system. Equalization presets can be saved in a specific file in XML format. These presets are editable and can be loaded easily by the plugin via its user interface. Each slider control the gain of one equalizer between -12dB and +12dB for a specific frequency. EQs frequencies are fixed from 16Hz to 20kHz and are splitted in four different areas Low, LowMid, HighMid and High. XTrack EQ32 has also a vumeter for input and output signal.

Xtrack EQ32 is available for free as VST/VST3 plug-in for Windows.

Sound Magic Releases Neo EQ Version 1.2, A new concept for EQ

Posted on by

Neo EQ is a revolutionary concept in equalizer technology. Totally different from traditional EQ, Neo EQ is able to automatically detect and lock in the most audible/sensitive frequency. This makes the whole EQ process much easier than traditional EQ methods – much more efficient and effective than traditional parametric EQ.

Mixing engineers spend years learning how to hear individual frequencies and fine tune the EQ on each and every track they mix. To get that perfect EQ, you have to know which frequencies to tweak and that can be quite time consuming and relies heavily on having “golden ears”. Then the tweaking starts, boosting or cutting each targeted frequency by just the right amount. Too much boost and distortion will catch you. Too little and it will sound like no effect at all. And that’s not the end of the nightmare: there’s also bandwidth/Q to consider and this alone can make or break a sound, the track – the entire mix! EQ is always where the value of the mixing engineer is put under the microscope.

Neo EQ does a lot of the work that a mixing engineer did in the past. Send an audio signal to Neo EQ and it will analyze that input and find just the right frequencies for you. You won’t need to hunt for the right frequency by yourself anymore or worry about whether you can find the correct one. After Neo EQ finds that perfect frequency for you, you can adjust the bass, the basic frequency and the harmonic for it. This not only saves a lot of time, it can give you amazing insight on how those with years of training zero in on exactly what needs fixing. And Neo EQ takes the guesswork out of messing with the Bandwidth/Q settings. Sound Magic has analyzed over 200 mixing engineer’s methods on EQ and developed three special algorithms for bandwidth. Pick your musical/engineering style and Bandwidth will be automatically calculated for you.

Changes since Version 1.1

  • Adjust Slider Position
  • Fixes the automation names
  • Improves filter performance under some settings
  • Cancel mono version and now stereo version can also handle mono signal correctly
  • Many minor changes

Price: EUR 49.00

J1000 has released PQ33, a free parametric mixing equalizer for Windows.

PQ33 is a freeware VST equalizer based on RND Portico 5033 hardware unit. It has the same number and layout of elements, same frequency ranges for all filters, same gain operational levels and Q factors. It is intended for use during mixing and tracking, but it can also be used for simple mastering tasks.

PQ33 features

  • 3 fully parametric filters, with slightly overlapping frequency ranges, identical gains and Q factors (labeled LMF, MF & HMF).
  • 2 semi-parametric shelving filters for lows and highs, with automated steepness depending on selected frequency and applied gain (LF & HF).
  • All knobs are continuous, allowing precise adjustments of each control.
  • No introduced harmonic or dynamic distortion.
  • All gains, including input trim, have +/-12dB operating range.
  • 32-bit internal processing and support for most common sample rates.
  • 16 presets, including very useful curves for complete mixes.

PQ33 is available as a freeware VST effect plug-in for Windows.
