MDynamicEq

Equalizing is probably the most important task, so you should get the best tool out there! MDynamicEq, the little brother of MAutoDynamicEq, is an unbelievably transparent and musical sounding equalizer with a gorgeous interface stuffed with amazing features. It pushes the technology forward by introducing dynamic processing!

5 Bands with Gorgeous-Sounding Dynamic Filters

Our variable-slope filters just sound amazing. No more resonances, you can finally be really surgical. Dynamic filters can do common tasks such as de-essing, ducking, compression, expansion plus much more and the world of possibilities is far from being explored! Plus flexible high-pass and low-pass filtering for speeding up your mixing workflow.

Simple User Interface for Common Tasks

Tasks such as de-essing or bass drum enhancement are so common that we decided to make them available with the simplified 4 knob interface. Just plug it in, select what you want to do and enjoy the results.

Super-Modern Visualisation

MDynamicEq not only shows the results of your processing, it also features an integrated analyzer, sonogram, spectrum areas plus much more.

Side-Chain Wonders

Normal equalizers could hardly benefit from a side-chain, but MDynamicEq is dynamic. Attenuate the bass guitar when bass drum is played? No problem! And that’s just the beginning.

MEqualizerLP

MEqualizerLP mastering 8-band equalizer plugin is a surgical tool necessary for every mastering engineer. It has a crystal clear sound with minimal distortion (measured below -160dB). It doesn’t smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. It is especially useful for enhancing or correcting difficult material like vocals, instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes, without introducing any unwanted colouring. Features

  • 3 equalization algorithms with (approximately) the same frequency response – true bidirectional filtering algorithm, FFT algorithm and standard minimum phase equalization. Bidirectional filtering provides maximal accuracy and minimal noise ratio. As a supplement MEqualizerLinearPhase implements a standard equalization and FFT algorithm adopted in most cheap linear-phase equalizers.
  • Adjustable dry/wet mix – what is impossible for common equalizers due to phase alteration is not impossible for MEqualizerLinearPhase! Using just one slider you can have complete control of the amount of performed equalization. Q in range 0.05 to 10 with protection against pops and crackles.
  • Integrated powerful spectral analyzer and sonogram – despite the main judge should always be your ears, the plugin offers an outstanding spectral analyzer combined with a sonogram with truly unique features such as super-resolution (which provides higher resolution in bass frequencies) or deharmonization (for easier analysis of fundamental frequencies).
  • 7 filter types for each band. – peak, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch.
  • Advanced editor and smooth visualization of resulting frequency response. All parameters are adjustable from the graph. No more searching in complicated band editors. Just click on a band and configure all of the parameters from filter type and gain to advanced features such as harmonics control. Everything with almost infinite precision if you need maximum control.
  • Enable, Q, and Actual source level indication inside the shape graph.
  • Integrated tube saturation gives the sound a great vintage analogue feel.
  • Up to 8 channels surround processing – our plugins can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also up to 8 channels of surround audio, making them ideal for audio production for movies, games etc.
  • Adjustable up-sampling 1x-4x to minimize aliasing and get an even clearer sound.
  • Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface – our products are always designed to enhance the workflow. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard in all of our plugins. Moreover our plugins are the world first (and still the only ones), which support resizable and stylable GUI’s.
  • MIDI controllers with MIDI learn – you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
  • Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
  • Global preset management and online preset exchange – using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs. Moreover all plugins can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers (if this feature is enabled). We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

Dynamic Eq

Dynamic Eq is a parametric equalizer with multi-band compression features.

Each band has a built-in compressor, precise frequencies can be dynamically cut or boosted by setting the threshold. A level meter is available for each band with a marker showing the current threshold level. This gives a level of control over the frequencies in your mix that is not possible with a standard equaliser. This feature is very useful for de-essing or reducing resonant frequencies dynamically.

Dynamic Eq can be used as a standard equaliser for your day to day needs, when you need more control, the transparent compression algorithm can be used to tame or boost specific frequencies.

Dynamic Eq is designed to be intuitive and super simple to use.

With a sleek and modern design, Dynamic Eq was made for the modern-day producer. It’s all about the visual feedback, you won’t have to rely on your ears alone. The movement of the main Eq curve shows clearly which frequencies are being boosted or cut. The level meter gives a clear view of how loud a particular band is, while the frequency analyser gives an accurate overview of all the prominent frequencies in your mix.

Dynamic Eq comes in VST, AU and AAX format and is compatible with all major DAWs such as FL Studio, Logic Pro, Reason, Cubase, Pro Tools, Machine, Ableton and more.

Choose Your Scheme

Dynamic Eq comes with plenty of colour schemes to choose from. Initial Audio spent hours picking the perfect colours for each individual scheme which give this EQ its striking and modern look. Pick a colour scheme that suits you.

Precise And Intuitive EQ

The Eq is a fundamental tool in every step of audio production. It has to be reliable, precise and intuitive! Dynamic Eq represents the real signal and eq curves, no approximations as many other equalizers do in order to save resources or to have visual benefits. This however does not mean that this Eq is CPU expensive, it uses low CPU resources and can be processes on each of your channels with ease.

Dynamic Eq allows up to 16 bands each with its own built in compressor. The compressor used is our IA LA1 compressor which has a super transparent algorithm and introduces no distortion or artefacts even when forced to work extremely hard

Built In Preset Manager

Dynamic Eq comes with many presets to use as a starting point. There is also the option to save your own to easily reuse settings across other instances of the EQ.

Urban Puncher

Hours of mixing and your drumloops still sounds like s… something you are not satisfied with? Don’t waste that time any more. If solid, strong, proud and punchy sound is what you desire then take a shortcut.

Urban Puncher delivers it within a second. Save your time and ears for mixing other elements. The drum issue is solved with Urban Puncher.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Punch – Controls the dynamic process with transients treatment and spectral shaping. The more the fist glows the bigger punch you give the loop.
  • Dry/Wet – This knob defines how much of the effected sound is mixed in with the original signal. 0 – Only dry sound goes out. 100 only Puncher sound goes out.
  • Saturation – Defines the amount of saturation applied on the punch effect – from gentle to harsh.
  • Destroy – Triples the amount of saturation defined by the Saturation knob.
  • Output – Defines the overall output volume +/-24dB
  • Power – Bypasses the effect

How it works

Urban Puncher is an effect that gives a “punch” to your percussive material (drums, percussion). Intended for drum loops but works instantly on anything that you can call drum hit. Your loops will step out of the shadows immediately. Urban Puncher delivers a stronger and more solid feel in no time.

How to use it?

Urban Puncher is a definitive drum improving tool for any urban music producer. It doesn’t matter much if you can put it on your drum channel after or before your EQ or comp. Simply dial how strong the punch your tracks get should be and mix it with the original sound and let Urban Puncher do its magic.

Punch

What is a “Punch”? There’s not a simple answer to that. The punch knob controls several processes at the same time. It can be described as an esoteric dynamic process with transients treatment and spectral shaping.

Saturate

Analogue-like transformer/tube blended emulation of saturation gives the punch a completely different feel. Use it gently to make your track blend in easily or dial the Saturation knob all the way up to get the real street sounds.

Destroy

And you can even punish your drum loops with the Destroy button. Hitting that triples the values you dial with the saturation knob. That results in a heavier form of distortion.

Experiment

Although the primary UrbanPuncher intention is for drum loops it is not where you should stop. The plugin can give extra punch to other instruments such as acoustic guitar or piano. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI

The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size – make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate

The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

Smart bypass

The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don’t get any click or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence

This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all saves the computing sources for other processes.

  • Windows 8/10 Required (32 or 64-Bit)
  • macOS (10.10 and newer, 64-bit) Intel/AMD processor with SSE2 support

entropy:EQ+

The entropy:EQ+ simplifies the editing process for the impact noise of drums, guitars and other plucking instruments, and introduces you to a whole new world of postproduction creativity.

  • Frequency-selective transients/tonal balance
  • Manipulate sound anatomy with surgical precision
  • Improved intelligibility of speech

Striking percussions at the touch of a button

By detecting different sound components of an audio track, entropy:EQ+ makes it possible to isolate single drums within a set or percussion group. In this way you can, for instance, refine the rim click or the solo on the toms. The sophisticated algorithm recognizes even the slightest attack sound. The smart plug-in equips you with the tools to manipulate select frequencies ranges in isolation from each other.

Crisp speech in any language

From the original track of a TV report to the whispered finale to your new song, the entropy:EQ+ takes care that every word stands out clearly and intelligibly in your mix. This is achieved by amplifying noisy consonant sounds, thus ensuring optimal intelligibility of speech. The plug-in assists you simply and easily by accentuating the inharmonic components of speech.

Strumming or muting your strings

Sometimes, a recording thrives on the groove produced by the string instruments – whether the plectrum-sound of an electric guitar or the rhythmic plucking of a violin string. At the other times, the very same impact noises ruin the harmonic sound of a recording. In both cases, entropy:EQ+ equips you with a comfortable solution by allowing you to tone down or amp up the rhythmic attack.

MAutoEqualizer

Parametric equalization

Provided by MAuto Equalizer can not be matched by simple FFT-based algorithms. MAuto Equalizer provides true Analogue sound and 2 top-class linear-phase algorithms.

Fully adjustable linear & minimum phase parametric equalizer.

Unlike common spectral matching algorithms our automatic equalization configures all bands of the equalizer only. No black box, you see exactly what it is doing. It only does what you would do, but it does not suffer from lack of experience. ear fatigue or exhaustion.

Extremely versatile, useful for everything from mixing to mastering!

You can make your recordings sound professional. You can ensure all of your recordings on your new album sound similar. You can let MAutoEqualizer fit a track into a mix using spectral separation feature. You can draw your desired frequency response. In any case MAutoEqualizer will find the best settings and configure the parametric equalizer bands for you. With a standard equalizer you are listening to the spectrum and amplifying or attenuating frequencies. This is very difficult even if you are a very experienced user with advanced listening skills. With MAutoEqualizer you no longer need to worry about your ears being objective.

State-of-the-art 10 band parametric equalizer and linear-phase equalizer combined with a powerful spectrum analyzer in a single window. Finally you can see input and output spectrum along with the equalizer shape and controls.

Automatic equalization

Long-term analysis of average recording spectral properties provides information necessary to use MeldaProduction Filter Adaption (MFA) technology, which can configure bands to approximate the requested resulting spectrum for you.

Includes comparisons to most (not-only) modern styles

when you need to master your recording, you typically get some professional recording to compare it to. We have analyzed more than 80 well-known songs for you. So if you don’t know or do not want to bother searching for some particular tune, just select an analysis of a song and let your recording sound like it!

Averaging, smoothing and magnitude normalization are pretty outstanding features that all help optical recognition and accuracy of automatic equalization.

3 equalization algorithms with (approximately) the same frequency response 

True bidirectional filtering algorithm, FFT algorithm and standard minimum phase equalization. Bidirectional filtering provides maximal accuracy and minimal noise ratio. As a supplement MAutoEqualizer implements a standard equalization and FFT algorithm adopted in most cheap linear-phase equalizers.

  • Adjustable dry/wet mix – what is impossible for common equalizers due to phase alteration is not impossible for MAutoEqualizer! Using just one slider you can have complete control of the amount of performed equalization.
  • Q in range 0.05 to 10 with protection against pops and crackles.
  • Integrated powerful spectral analyzer and sonogram – despite the main judge should always be your ears, the plugin offers an outstanding spectral analyzer combined with a sonogram with truly unique features such as super-resolution (which provides higher resolution in bass frequencies) or deharmonization (for easier analysis of fundamental frequencies).
  • 7 filter types for each band. – peak, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch.
  • Advanced editor and smooth visualization of resulting frequency response. All parameters are adjustable from the graph. No more searching in complicated band editors. Just click on a band and configure all of the parameters from filter type and gain to advanced features such as harmonics control. Everything with almost infinite precision if you need maximum control.
  • Enable, Q, and Actual source level indication inside the shape graph.
  • Integrated tube saturation gives the sound a great vintage analog feel.
  • Up to 8 channels surround processing – our plugins can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also up to 8 channels of surround audio, making them ideal for audio production for movies, games etc.
  • Adjustable up-sampling 1x-4x to minimize aliasing and get an even clearer sound.
  • Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface – our products are always designed to enhance the workflow. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard in all of our plugins. Moreover our plugins are the world first (and still the only ones), which support resizable and stylable GUI’s.
  • MIDI controllers with MIDI learn – you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
  • Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
  • Global preset management and online preset exchange – using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs. Moreover all plugins can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers (if this feature is enabled). We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

UltraChannel

UltraChannel

Professional Audio Engineering For All

UltraChannel™ is a high-precision channel strip that includes several feature-packed versions of Eventide’s legendary effects, all in one plug-in. Whether mixing or mastering, regardless of genre, UltraChannel is the ultimate tool to make your tracks and mixes come to life. It not only has industry benchmark performance but is also the most versatile channel strip available due to our exclusive FlexiPath™ routing, which allows processors to be ordered based on desired workflow.

The Secret Sauce of Mixing

UltraChannel shines in carving out space for any instrument or vocal to sit just right in the mix. There is an infinite number of ways to generate the exact tone, dynamics and frequency characteristics you’re seeking. Additionally, through its support for side-chaining, you can use an alternative audio source to colour the characteristics of your main signal. It wouldn’t be an Eventide if it didn’t also feature micro pitch functionality (from our flagship H8000 hardware) to thicken or increase the stereo spread of any instrument or vocal.

MAIN FEATURES

FlexiPath™

Allows drag and drop for reordering the signal path of the top-level components (O-Pressor, compressor/de-esser, EQ, Gate) for ultimate flexibility and experimentation.

Soft-Saturation and Transformer Emulation

The output module of UltraChannel contains a model of an analog transformer which can be driven into saturation. When subtly used, it provides distinction for signals of low-frequency content. When driven hard, it recreates classic transformer core saturation.

O-Pressor

Comes with two built-in compressors, one with de-essing and side-chaining, the other is the unique O-Pressor. Derived from of our legendary Omnipressor™, the O-Pressor adds character and extreme compression to your signal-processing arsenal.

5-Band Parametric EQ

Covers the entire audio spectrum allowing you to edit the Frequency, Gain, and Q of each of the 5 bands.

Over 200 Presets

Includes wide range of Factory Presets, many created by Eventide artists, tailored to signal sources such as guitar, bass, kick drum, snare, piano, strings, synths and vocals. They make exploiting UltraChannel’s enormous processing power easy to deploy.

Micro Pitch Shift & Stereo Delays

Apply Eventide’s patented pitch shifting to any source and control the panning and delay spread. Runs in parallel with a pair of delays that allow you to feed its signal back into any of the other modules.

Countless Applications

  • Producers
    • UltraChannel can replace several plug-ins at once, allowing you to minimize CPU loading while still giving you full sonic control over every aspect of your tracks.
  • Mix Engineers
    • Carve a unique space for each element of a song through selective EQ, gating, and tempo-synced delays.
  • Sound Designers
    • Change the entire feel of an instrument through filtering, pitch shifting, delays, or aggressive compression.

PC

  • Windows 8 and later (32 / 64bit)
  • AAX, VST2, VST3 (32 / 64-bit)

Mac

  • macOS 10.9 and later (64-bit only) (macOS 11 Big Sur only supported on Intel-based Mac systems)
  • AAX, AU, VST2, VST3 (64-bit)

Notes:

QuickBass

QuickBass – The All-in-one bass solution

Bass is usually considered to be the coolest of all instruments. Mainly by the bassists. Recorded with a good DI, a fine bass often sounds perfect as you get it and needs just a little push here and there.

And that is why we came up with QuckBass. To give you the quick EQ, quick compression, quick saturation, and fatness in no time. QuickBass is the ultimate bass polisher and finalizer.

QuickBass KEY FEATURES

All-in-one bass solution
Using multiple plugins to achieve one goal makes simply no sense. You can experience unwanted interaction between plugins and their extra features (unnecessary for the job) can drain your CPU power. So we decided to put all the tools you need to get the perfect bass sound into one box with as few knobs as possible to find the sweet spot between speed and versatility.

Ready for your technique
No matter what technique you play Quick bass adapts to it. The EQ is internally preset to deliver the best sound for finger or pick styles, and for funky slap technique. Millerize button makes it ready for slap-solo sound treating your mids a special way. Although most of the curve is preset you still have a few EQ knobs to fine-tune. But starting at zero positions is recommended.

Slight to heavy compression
A great compressor is a must-have. It treats the dynamics and colours too. QuickBass lets you blend between Vari-mu, Opto and FET compressor types to give your bass the desired character. How much you want to squeeze is all your choice.

Bigger, fatter Too thin?
That is a common bass problem. QuickBass solves it with its unique one-knob doubler. And it can also generate sub-bass to give you that nice fat bottom that every song needs. It’s the bass that makes crowds dance.

Gentle to harsh
There’s no amusement without saturation. And QuickBass handles this section with care. Its parallel saturator can deliver anything between “just-a-little” analogue feel and heavy bass distortion only a valve amp could deliver (before there was QuickBass, of course).

Number of presets
QuickBass was developed and tuned with (and by) bassists. It is most likely that you will be able to set up your sound just by dialling one of a huge number of presets prepared by both mixing engineers and bass players like Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree, O.r.k). QuickBass covers all styles from Jazz to Death Metal.

Hassle-free software protection
No iLok, no dongle nor internet access is required for activation. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI
Photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size – make it smaller to save the valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate
The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

Smart bypass
The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don’t get any click or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence
This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all saves the computing sources for other processes.

Bassroom

The Struggle Is Over

Balancing the low-end is one of the hardest challenges in any mix or master. This is where so many potentially awesome tracks fail. Too much bass and your track will sound bloated and lack clarity. Not enough bass and your track will sound weak.

BASSROOM is a final mix and mastering EQ that helps beginners and pros nail their low-end in seconds.

It does this by delivering exceptional sound quality and suggesting genre-specific EQ adjustments a great audio engineer in a world-class studio would make.

We analyzed the best mixes in various genres to give you EQ target presets you can trust.

You can also create your own targets with BASSROOM’s inbuilt analysis tools. From this starting point, you can tweak your low-end to perfection using the immersive 3D room interface.

Main Features

  • Minimized phase distortion and transient distortion filters
  • Immersive 3D user interface
  • EQ targets based on reference material
  • Level match pointer on output gain
  • Fully resizable user interface
  • Create your own EQ targets by importing reference tracks
  • Solo bands
  • Q Bandwidth control

How To Use BASSROOM – What’s It All About?

Master Channel

BASSROOM uses complex algorithms that accurately identifies how the human ear perceives low-frequencies relative to the balance of the whole mix. For that reason it should be loaded on your master channel so it can analyse and be applied to your whole mix.

Choose A Preset

To get the most value from BASSROOM, start by selecting a preset that best suits the material you’re working on.

Create A Target

Alternatively, you can create your own target values by clicking the target icon in the bottom left corner and importing reference tracks. If you’re creating targets, we recommend clicking and dragging on the waveform to select the drop or chorus for the analysis, as this is usually the material with the best representation of the bass in the track. BASSROOM will create targets based on all the tracks loaded into the analysis window.

Shape your low-end

Now monitor a bass heavy section of your production (i.e. the drop or chorus), and you’ll see the targets move to the suggested EQ positions based on the tonal balance of your mix compared to the tonal balance of your preset. Use the targets to get a great starting point, then adjust by ear to tweak your low-end to perfection. The algorithm accounts for differences in loudness, so the targets will be accurate and relevant whether you’re mixing or mastering.

Level Match

The EQ adjustments may have changed the overall gain of your audio. If the gain has changed by more than 2dB the speaker icon will turn orange. Hover your mouse over the bypass icon to open the output gain and level match pointer. Match the gain slider to the level match pointer to match the perceived loudness of your audio before it passed through BASSROOM.

Hear The Difference

Not only will your low-end fall into place, but the level matching will give you a well balanced sound across the whole frequency spectrum. Toggle bypass on and off to hear the difference.

What Else Can I Expect from Bassroom?

Unparalleled EQ Quality

BASSROOM gives you unparalleled EQ quality when working with low-frequencies on your master channel. Other EQs can introduce transient ringing and smearing or phase distortion that reduces the quality and clarity of your audio.

BASSROOM has specifically designed filters that have minimal phase distortion AND minimal transient distortion providing greater transparency than standard linear-phase filters at low-frequencies.

This means that the low-end is not affected by unwanted phase changes that can alter the timbre of your audio or by transient distortion that means you lose the bite from kicks or bass-lines.

For example, the plots show the transient effects on a step function when applying a 6dB gain at 240Hz. Think of this as a simplified waveform of a kick drum. It’s clear that the output of the filter in Plot 2 has an oscillation before and after the “hit”. This is a “ringing” of the transient and can sound like a sucking effect. In Plot 3 BASSROOM’s EQ produces virtually no oscillation and so the transient is preserved.

With BASSROOM, you can transparently shape your low-end without compromising the clarity of your mix or master. This translates into retaining punch in the low-mids, and definition in the low-end compared to other EQs.

Immersive 3D Room Display

Ordinary EQs use a horizontal representation of frequencies and vertical representation of gain. BASSROOM takes a unique approach and focuses more on how we experience audio in the real world. Louder sounds feel closer while quieter sounds feel further away and lower frequencies are associated with a ‘foundation’ whilst higher frequencies are perceived as ‘air.

To reflect this, in BASSROOM frequencies are displayed vertically, and gain is represented by depth in the room.

When a band is on the central 0dB line in the middle of the room, there is no gain adjustment. Push frequency bands back in the room to decrease gain, and bring them forward to increase gain.

The unique and intuitive UI helps you visualise how you’re adjusting the low-end of your song. This gives you a more immersive mixing experience, helping you connect more with your music.

EQ Targets You Can Trust

The targets on the walls of BASSROOM suggest the genre-specific EQ adjustments a great audio engineer in a world-class studio would make.

We analysed the best mixes in various genres to give you EQ target presets you can trust.

This isn’t simple ‘slowed-down’ frequency matching.

The targets are a result of a complex algorithm that accurately identifies how the human ear perceives low-frequencies relative to the balance of the whole mix. BASSROOM analyses your mix and displays a target in each frequency band to help you make informed mixing decisions sonically relevant to your audio.

Matching the bands to target suggestions results in a clear and defined low-end that’s well balanced in the context of the whole mix. Use the targets to get a great starting point, then adjust by ear to tweak your low-end to perfection.

They’ve been used on countless classic top platinum-selling albums and are also still widely used, which confirms these legendary modules’ status much-wanted classic units that every mixing/mastering environment needs.

NEED Preamp and Eq Collection include 7 Outstanding British-style preamp/eq plugins!

All of them are extremely accurate end-to-end circuit emulations that retain each small detail and true vintage tone of this phenomenal studio equipment. NEED Preamp and Eq Collection is a Real Gem!

Expertly Detailed

NoiseAsh Audio is proud to bring the original vintage amplifier and eq units into your DAW. Expertly captured, totally detailed, extremely accurate analog models for sculpting your sound just like legendary top rated British style consoles. Thanks to NoiseAsh modeling technology; warm, bold and distinguishing analog characteristics, even little details are exactly here in the box now with NEED Preamp and Eq Collection.

Nuance Deviation System

Analog domain components have some little tonal nuance differences which create some deviations concerning their theoretical values. Nuance Deviation System (NDS) is the NoiseAsh Audio proprietary signal processing model, which emulates the sonic character deviations of the analog components. Individual Left-Mid and Right-Side channels can be alternated with NDS. There are plenty of carefully modeled console channels and each number stands for a console channel bearing its deviation. With NDS, real tonal differences can be captured quickly!

You really NEED this!

Innovative cutting-edge NoiseAsh technology has given the analog reality with a very light CPU usage, expanded modern features like NDS & Mid/Side options, and maximum accurate Anti-Aliasing Analog tone behavior. All of the models in NEED Preamp and Eq Collection are much more than emulations. They are what every mixing/mastering environment needs for letting you enjoy all the warm tones of a mythical piece of the studio consoles, right in your DAW, in-the-box, very easily. You NEED this!

Axiom

Blue Cat’s Axiom is a powerful and open multi effects processor and amp simulation software for guitar and bass. Based on the acclaimed Destructor plug-in for amp simulations, Axiom offers an infinite number of exceptional tones for your axe.

What’s new in 1.6?

  • Improved Tone Maps navigation, with updated user interface (for amp simulation and 9 built-in effects).
  • Added MIDI control support (MIDI CC messages) for Next and Previous Preset commands, with MIDI learn.
  • Improved MIDI & automation control settings with lock, reset and “save as global setting” capabilities.
  • Preset files can now be dropped onto the preset LCD area to be loaded.
  • Level meters, spectrum analyzers and tuner stop processing when the user interface is closed, reducing CPU usage.
  • Multiple DSP performance improvements.
  • Reduced the number of threads used by the plug-ins.
  • Improved global and preset settings window loading time on Windows.
  • Reduced time to load Axiom, Destructor or any built-in plug-in.
  • Full unicode support.
  • Native Apple Silicon (M1 processor) support.
  • Dropped 32-bit support on Mac.
  • Now requires MacOS 10.9 and newer.
  • Fixed VST3 (and sometimes VST) version freezing Ableton Live upon save on Windows.
  • Up to 5 times more processing power with the new multicore engine that processes each channel and each tool on a separate core.
  • Multicore engine also available for the built-in Late Replies plug-in (Pattern module).
  • Updated all 460 factory presets with appropriate drive range for all simulated amps.
  • New built-in looper plug-in (in the “Utils” category).
  • New built-in distortion and dynamics pedals based on Destructor with new pedal GUI.
  • New built-in delay models based on Late Replies 1.5 with new “EZ mode” GUI.
  • New DSP workload meter that displays the DSP activity and CPU load.
  • Tap Tempo with MIDI CC to set BPM in the application with a footswitch.
  • Lock effects bypass switches to match the state of MIDI foot controllers when changing presets.
  • Improved buffer management in standalone application on Mac, reducing both latency and CPU usage.
  • reverted default preset to empty preset to improve performance upon load (the preset is still available as “Default Clean”)
  • Added ability to select the plug-in to load when a shell plug-in file is dragged and dropped onto a slot.

Main Features

  • Powerful and unlimited multi-effects processor and amp modeling software for guitar and bass.
  • Realistic and fully customizable amp simulation based on Blue Cat’s Destructor.
  • Flexible routing: 2 parallel amp simulation channels with effects + input and master sections.
  • 40 high quality built-in effects: wah, delays, reverb, pitch bender, EQ, filters, distortion units, compressor, gate, chorus, flanger…
  • Includes Blue Cat’s Destructor and Late Replies as built-in effects.
  • Built-in high precision tuner.
  • Open and extensible: load any third party VST, VST3 or Audio Unit (AU) plug-in.
  • Delivered with thousands of presets for all sections and built-in effects.
  • Load third party virtual instruments to play along.
  • Global stereo spread control.
  • Lock sections to prevent changes when loading presets.
  • No latency.

It includes two amp simulations channels (with pre and post effects) that can be mixed together or used alternatively like a real amp. You can choose your amp models from hundreds of presets or launch the amp editor to build your own, with complete control over the tone. Additional input and master sections let you adjust the tone at the input and the output of Axiom, with 4 additional effect slots each and an integrated high precision tuner. A brickwall limiter also protects the output from overshoot. Axiom includes 40 built-in effects that can be loaded in any of the 32 plug-in slots, including a built-in version of Late Replies for creative delays and reverbs, and a built-in version of Destructor to add your own distortion pedals, cabinets or additional amp simulations. Blue Cat’s Axiom is not limited to its built-in effects: these slots can also host third party Audio Unit, VST or VST3 plug-ins: you can use your favorite plug-ins anywhere in the signal chain and expand Axiom’s capabilities. And because playing alone is not so much fun, we have added a tools section with 3 additional slots to load virtual instruments: add a metronome, a drum machine, sequencer or your keyboardist’s favorite synthesizer there to get it mixed with your guitar.
