EQ VST Plugins

The Oxford SuprEsser is both a very highly-featured professional De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ. There is a simple mode for quick fixes, but also an advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning.

The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes enables the user to easily see and hear exactly where the problem frequencies are, allowing the rapid reduction or removal of the offending audio. As well as being able to trigger the full band compression, only the offending frequencies can be carefully carved out.

Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, ‘plosives’ and other annoyances can also be removed effortlessly, making it more than a simple De-Esser. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.

A new concept is born – a simple and intuitive De-Esser, PLUS access to a much more sophisticated frequency specific compressor, giving complete control over aggressive frequencies wherever they may be in the audio spectrum. With the Oxford SuprEsser, you can take out unwanted frequency peaks as and when they occur – unlike applying a fixed EQ to the whole channel.

MAIN FEATURES

• 64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)
• Highly featured professional De-Esser
• Linear Phase Dynamic EQ
• Transparently controls aggressive frequencies
• Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)
• Large intuitive graphic display makes finding frequencies very easy
• Full Spectrum Operation (20Hz -20KHz)
• Three different ‘Listen’ modes
• Very easy to use
• Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ
• Many creative as well as corrective uses
• Presets giving good starting points

As a De-Esser, the Oxford SuprEsser is designed for the treatment of sibilance and fricatives in vocals, and the treatment of unwanted whistles and ‘spirant’ artefacts associated with wind instruments.

However, it can equally be applied to removing low-end ‘plosives’ and thuds from over-close vocal work, without affecting components nearby in the frequency spectrum, keeping the low-end in tact. For the most natural-sounding results, the SuprEsser de-esses only the frequency band you set – so you won’t end up with an over-de-essed lisp-like voice with all the top end gone!

Detailed visual feedback is provided thanks to the highly intuitive graphical display, allowing quick identification of the frequencies that need treatment and where to set the threshold. The threshold level and peak hold levels of the user-definable band are shown on the graph, alongside the FFT display of the narrow band signal, which includes retention of the peak level and the frequency containing the most energy.

At the heart of the Oxford SuprEsser is an enhanced version of the compressor section of the Oxford Dynamics plug-in, which is renowned amongst professional users for delivering precise and transparent control of peaks. Around this is built a pair of cross-over filters to make the compressor react only to the defined frequency band. These linear phase filters are modelled on the filters from the Oxford EQ, making the SuprEsser useful for precise mastering work as well as mixing work.

Three listen modes allow the user to listen to the mix, the output of the band-pass filter (‘Inside’) or the output of the band-reject filter (‘Outside’).

The Oxford SuprEsser comes complete with many presets to act as good starting points, alternatively, the advanced section gives full access to all controls for precise correction or even creative use.

Elevate Bundle

Mastering with a Brain

Elevate is the most advanced mastering plug-in ever created. This unique multi-band limiter, human-ear EQ and powerful audio maximizer will increase the loudness of your mix while maintaining or improving its dynamic perception. It uses intelligent, adaptive technology that responds in real time to your music; creating not only the loudest, but the best sounding master.

Developed by Newfangled Audio, Elevate maintains subtle dynamics and improves the tonal balance of your mix. The adaptive limiter analyzes 26 frequency bands and alters the gain, speed and transients for each band in real time. The result is a transparent, natural sound, no matter how hard you push it.

Elevate utilizes 26 critical filter bands modeled from the human ear. Each of the bands are spaced to give maximum control over how the sound hits your eardrum. Draw curves, solo bands and manipulate the transient attack for each individual band to bring out particular instruments such as kick or snare drums.

Adaptive Technology

Elevate uses artificial intelligence algorithms to make it easy for you to get the best sounds, but you can still get under the hood for as much precise control as you desire. This includes giving you control over the tonal balance and transients inside the final limiting stage. The adaptive algorithms reduce audible artefacts and the additional controls give you maximum flexibility with professional results.

Features

• Analyzes and alters the gain, speed and transients of each filter band in real time.
• Includes presets by: APS Mastering, Matt Lange, Jeremy Lubsey, Eric Beam, ROCAsound, Chris Tabron and John McCaig.
• Automatically adapts the attack, release and look-ahead parameters for each filter band to greatly reduce “pumping” and breathing artifacts and perceived distortion.
• Preserves or emphasizes fast transients to avoid squashing your mix.
• Manipulates transients across the critical bands to preserve the attacks from kick drums, snares and cymbals, without affecting the entire mix.
• Uses linear phase auditory filters — based on the Mel Scale — to manipulate the audio in a way that is natural to your inner ear.
• Solo the output of one band (or a number of bands) to hone in on problem frequencies, tweak transients or alter gain.
• Use the Auto Output Level feature to compare the limited signal to non-limited signals with the same amount of gain allowing you to easily hear what impact the processing is having on your sound.
• Use the Spectral Clipper to overdrive the final output without affecting the tonal balance or allowing the signal to get “tubby.” Perfect for a more aggressive sound.
• Six different types of metering allow you to keep an eye on every aspect of your output audio.

EQuivocate

Powerful & Precise Human Ear EQ

Graphic EQ that uses filters which are modeled on the human ear.  Perfect for mixing and mastering, EQuivocate’s auditory filters and match EQ functionality make it incredibly powerful, simple to use, and natural sounding. Each of the 26 critical bands tickles a different part of your inner ear, making any combination of settings sound as natural as possible. Combining this with a linear-phase filter shape that reduces pre-echo makes EQuivocate an EQ with a difference you can hear. Includes a parametric EQ, compressor, gate, soft saturation, transformer emulation, micro pitch shift, and stereo delays.

Saturate

Saturate is the Spectral Clipper algorithm made popular in the Elevate Mastering Limiter. Saturate’s two controls belie a sophisticated signal processing engine which allows it to overdrive a signal without effecting the tonal balance no matter how hard you push it. Add up to 12 dB of clipping with a variable shape parameter which moves from a pleasant soft curve to full hard clipping. Additionally, the SHAPE control allows you to smoothly morph between hard clipping and the mathematically smoothest curve possible. Use Saturate to overdrive individual tracks or your entire mix.

Learn more about Saturate.

Punctuate

Based on the Transient Emphasis section of the award winning Elevate Mastering Limiter, Punctuate is a multi-band transient modulator based on the critical bands in the human ear. Punctuate’s intelligent algorithms allow you to control the transient emphasis or suppression of all 26 critical bands with just 4 controls. This makes for an incredibly powerful, but very easy to use transient modulator.

Anyone Can Master!

Master Suite by Initial Audio is a Mastering plugin for windows and Mac and comes in VST and AU format.

With Master Suite mastering becomes as easy as 1-2-3. Simply adjust the loudness and finalize your track with the 3 band equalizer and stereo image controls.

Sending out Songs and Instrumentals to clients, record labels, online stores and streaming services requires them to have a industry standard loudness in order to have a state of the art sound.

The LUFS display indicates a industry standard loudness by turning green and warns you when you start getting too loud.

An intelligent algorithm applies the right amount of limiting and compression which can be controlled with soften and mix. The HD interface looks clean, feels great and can be seamlessly resized to match your screen resolution.

Features:

• THD: Total Harmonic Distortion, this can ‘fatten’ up the master and help increase the perceived loudness.
• Loudness: Increase or decrease the loudness of your master in decibels. Uses an intelligent compression and limiting algorithm to ensure maximum loudness with minimal distortion.
• LUFS Meter: The LUFS meter (Loudness Units relative to Full Scale) is an industry standard representation of perceived loudness. The meter goes green when in the ‘sweet’ zone of a loud master without over compressing the dynamics of your mix.
• Soften: This softens the compression curve, also known as a ‘soft knee’.
• Mix: Mix the compressed audio with the original. If you are pushing the loudness hard and the master is sounding over compressed with a loss of dynamics, this control can help restore some dynamics while still keeping the master loud.
• Analog: Changes the frequency response of master suite to sound more Analog.
• 3 Band Equalizer: Cut or boost the low, mid and high frequencies by up to 6dB.
• Stereo Image: The Mono control works by making the audio completely mono below the set frequency. This can help to tighten up the low end and ensure it is coming only from the center of the stereo field. The Stereo control enhances the stereo field for the frequencies only above the mid range, leaving the lower frequencies untouched. This can be used to add extra ‘space’ in the master by pushing instruments even wider in the stereo field.
• Ceiling: Sets the maximum loudness for peaks. Your master will not go louder than this.

What is it?

GrandEQ is nothing else but the culmination of what we here at DDMF have learned in the years since the first software EQ was released back in 2006. It represents the state of the art of equalizer algorithms.

The goal in digital equalizer design is always to reduce the amount of digital artefacts which are introduced due to the necessarily finite sampling frequency. In its minimum phase setting, GrandEQ manages to do just that to an extent larger than most other EQs, and notably both in the amplitude and in the phase domain, while introducing only a very small amount of latency.

The result is a very open and clear sound with, at the same time, excellent CPU efficiency. Its linear phase setting stays completely in the time domain, using an elaborate time-reversal algorithm and 2-fold oversampling to ensure excellent amplitude and (flat) phase response with the lowest possible amount of digital distortion.

Matched magnitude and phase response: comparison

To further clarify what is meant by accurate magnitude and phase response, let’s look at a Bell filter (+9 dB at 10 kHz). Looking at the magnitude response of GrandEQ (shown in red in the following image), note that it follows the true analog response (yellow) so close that it is barely visible below 20 kHz. Both a standard digital EQ (blue) and a decrampled digital EQ (green) show clear differences towards the higher frequency range.

This excellent behavior also carries over to the phase domain: while all software EQs ultimately show a phase response of 0 at half the sampling (Nyquist) frequency, GrandEQ manages to follow the analog curve all the way until > 20 kHz, while the two other EQs clearly show a different response.

Features

• Minimum Phase algorithm: accurate magnitude and phase matching to analog targets
• Linear Phase algorithm: forward-backward approach + oversampling
• 7 independent bands, with 7 different band types: Bell, Low Shelf, High Shelf, Low Cut, High Cut, Bandpass and Notch
• two internal states (A/B) for quick switching between alternative settings
• Left-Right or Mid-Side operation
• Two-channel EQ which can be linked/unlinked

A distortion effect with five distinct, high-quality distortions.

Mix and match to come up with your own specialized distortion types, ranging from light sweet distortions to heavy, dark or grungy growl distortions.

After the distortion phase is a four band EQ and compressor.

Use these to further shape your sound, bringing out sharper high tone portions or smoother deeper ones. Overdriving the compressor gives you another level of overdrive for an intense, thick sound.

Overdrive 5 features full automation of all parameters, allowing you to create more complex and expressive sounds than possible with manual tweaking. Additionally, save presets and (optionally) share them with other users.

A classic EQ unit reinvented for the digital age

GotoEQ is a new evolution of a vintage passive tube-based program equalizer, expanding on that classic sound with dynamic EQ bands.

GotoEQ performs the classic ‘low-end trick’ with dual Boost and Attenuate controls for its low shelf, but it also offers the ability to perform a ‘high-end trick’, with a similar formulation of high shelving.

With continuous frequency selection, you can tune each band as you like. But most importantly of all, GotoEQ’s two mid bands offer dynamic attenuation, bringing a musical approach to the classic EQ unit.

Usage

Simultaneously boost and cut the low shelf to create that low-mid scoop on bass tracks. De-ess vocals or de-harsh overheads by engaging dynamic attenuation and tuning the high-mid band. Add air to signals with the high shelf filter, and ‘scoop’ the high-mids using a ‘high-end trick’. Get control over the ‘nose’ of bass tracks with dynamic attenuation of the Low Mid and High Mid bands. Subtly EQ a whole mix or bus using light settings and mild compression

• 1. Prepare for treatment – To let the dynamic processors work at their best, make sure to set the right input level.
• 2. Classic style filters – Two shelving filters with separate Boost & Attenuation controls. To achieve the ‘Pultec’ effect, both boost and attenuation must be above 0 dB.
• 3. Dynamic parametric EQs – These work a bit differently than the Low & High filters – a dynamic processor attenuates the signal. Fine-tune with the gain knob.
• 4. Level like a boss – VU-meters for Input or Output levels.

Features

• Low and High Shelf filters, with detailed modelling of a classic passive EQ unit
• Two parametric dynamic filters
• High-pass filter: 20/40/80 Hz
• Preset library
• Continuous frequency selection for all four bands
• Boost and Attenuation for the Low and High shelving bands
• Gain, Q, and Dynamic Attenuation for the two mid bands
• Finely-tuned compression algorithm makes mid bands react dynamically to the signal
• Global Input and Output Gain controls (+/-24dB)
• Global bypass and individual band bypass
• Peak metering for the input or output

Echothief Inspired

This plugin is a direct collaboration with Dr Chris Warren (aka Superhoax); who is also the genius behind Echothief, the library of impulse responses we use for our modelling reverb of the same name. The plugin is adapted from his Picante MaxForLive patch.

Soft Saturation

Picante works as a tone shaper, graphic EQ, and light distortion. It can be made to add grit or a soft fuzz. The full range EQ gives you precise control even as the limiters introduce a nuanced amount of nonlinearities for tonal depth.

Light, Sweet, Crude

We use a unique combination of limiters and saturation to obtain a light push overdrive that is perfect for bringing out the grit in horns and vocals, or used more aggressively it can be used to push a tone to be hard but not heavily distorted.

Q Power

The inclusion of variable Q gives another dimension of control as you can push the sound’s resonance toward ringing. This lets you use this plugin as an effect for otherworldly sounds, shaping a saxophone into a thick tinny sound and then morphing into a ringing percussive blast.

MIXROOM is an intelligent EQ that guides you to set the perfect balance of richness and clarity whether you’re working on a vocal, a synth or mastering your music.

2. Choose A Preset or Create A Target – To get the most value from MIXROOM, start by selecting a preset that best suits the material you’re working on.

3. Shape Your Sound – Now monitor a full bodied section of your audio. The Target EQ Curve takes out the guesswork and helps you dial in pro-sounding results in seconds. The ‘Add Smart Bands’ button will instantly load EQ bands that match the Target EQ Curve to give you a great starting point. MIXROOM’s unique and specifically designed EQ filters give you maximum clarity & transparency when shaping your audio.

4. Level Match – The EQ adjustments may have changed the perceived loudness of your audio making it difficult to hear whether the changes you’ve made are improving your sound. Match the gain slider to the level match pointer to match the perceived loudness of your audio before it passed through MIXROOM. This allows you subjectively hear how the changes have affected your sound.

Hear The Difference!

Whether your audio is muddy, dull, thin, harsh, or even almost perfect, MIXROOM helps you elevate your mix to get the perfect balance of richness and clarity.

+10db Equaliser is meticulously modelled after the EQ section of a very highly sought after hardware channel strip.

+10db Equaliser takes the EQ section from our +10db Channel strip plugin and puts it in a dedicated plugin. This plugin faithfully recreates the curves and subtleties of this hardware equaliser unit.

What is so special about this EQ?

This EQ takes a different approach to equalization than your standard digital EQ. Instead of the standard series configuration, this EQ uses a parallel configuration, which makes for some very interesting effects, especially for bands that are close together. You will notice that you can use more extreme boost and cut settings without going into that harsh realm.

And of course, in order to preserve the spectral integrity of analog filters, we do not do any of the digital pre-warping tricks. Instead, each filter has a nice symmetric frequency response all the way up to Nyquist frequency, giving it a much more natural and musical response in the high frequencies.

The layout of this EQ makes you work with a different part of your brain than the standard parametric EQ. Don’t get us wrong, we love parametric EQs too, but working with this EQ definitely opens up the creative side of our brain, which can open up entirely new creative possibilities.

A New Era in Equalization

Advanced Mixing EQ with Transient / Tonal Splitting Technology

SplitEQ is a groundbreaking EQ that offers a new approach to corrective and creative audio equalization. It excels at Enhancing, Repairing, Rebalancing, and Widening any musical source or audio signal. SplitEQ is both a surgical tool for fixing particularly nasty problems and a creative tool that opens up exciting new musical possibilities. More than just an EQ—It’s a new and better tool.

At first glance, it’s a parametric EQ with 8 bands of precise musical filters. What’s new and different is Eventide’s powerful Structural Split engine divides the incoming audio into separate Transient and Tonal streams that feed the 8 bands of “Split” parametric EQ. This approach is musically useful and makes common EQ problems easy to solve, even in a complex mix. 

• Want to soften the transients? Use the master Transient Gain slider. 
• Remove plosives or de-ess? EQ only the Transient. 
• Reduce snare ring? Put a filter on the Tonal mids.

By applying EQ to Transient and Tonal separately, you can fix many of the problems normally attempted by complex combinations of EQ, compression, transient designers, de-essers, multi-band compression, spatial processors, or dynamic EQ. Simplify and declutter your workflow, get better results and create new sounds.

By Musicians For Musicians

SplitEQ reduces the distance between what you want to do and how you actually do it, and with fewer tradeoffs of other EQs. A low-shelf boost on a kick drum will yield muddiness rather than delicious oomph. A low cut on a low male vocal removes plosives but at the expense of low-end richness. SplitEQ gives you the surgical control to address the problematic part of a sound without losing the magic and without the need for additional tools.

SplitEQ is not just a corrective tool, it is also a new type of creative tool for taking your mixes to new heights through its independent L/R and Mid-Side panning. With SplitEQ every source is split into a pair of sonically distinct elements offering your music, mixes, and audio signals an extraordinary new level of musicality.

Batteries Included

SplitEQ comes with a Factory Library of over 150 presets to solve many of today’s standard corrective and complex mixing problems in a cleaner and faster way. The presets are designed to Enhance, Repair, Rebalance and Widen various instruments including drums, vocals, guitar and more. A/B comparison and Undo/Redo make it easy to explore ideas without losing where you started.

Whether you’re working on individual tracks, a full mix, or cleaning up a two-track loop, you’ll find SplitEQ to be an inspiring and powerful tool that allows you to approach the material in a new, musical and sonically meaningful way.

Overview

Structural Split

The beating heart of SplitEQ analyzes the incoming audio and separates it into two separate streams:

• Transient (Noise, pops, mic plosives, vocal sibilance, attacks)
• Tonal (Sustained notes, harmonics, tone, ambience)

8-Band Parametric EQ

SplitEQ’s filters are state-of-the-art, pristine and musical. The User Interface has been designed to streamline workflow. Add sheen to vocals without boosting sibilance or harshness. Enhance acoustic guitar harmonics while reducing string buzz.

Stereo Imaging

Continuous L/R or Mid/Side panning of the Transient and Tonal components for each of the eight bands.

Graphical Display

High-res, real-time, spectrum analysis of audio components with multiple options for monitoring or comparison. SplitEQ also features Peak and RMS metering.

SplitEQ Applications

Enhance: With independent control of the Tonal and Transient elements of an instrument, SplitEQ can be used to deliver punch, detail, sheen, breathiness, diction, tightness, thump, and pluck.

Repair: A unique audio repair and restoration tool, SplitEQ allows you to surgically tune the Transient and Tonal response independently. Remove a kick drum’s boom without losing its thump. 

Rebalance: SplitEQ allows versatile track placement in a mix. Easily perform multiple tasks not possible with any other EQ, like softening electric guitar strums while boosting cab reverb.

Widen: SplitEQ allows for precise multi-band stereo image manipulation of the Tonal and Transient elements of each frequency band. L/R and Mid/Side panning are supported. Spatialize a beat like never before.

X-Ray Vision

With SplitEQ you can hear and even see your sound in new ways. Eventide’s Structural approach mimics the way in which people interpret sound and the spectrum display offers an inside look into what you’re hearing. Solo only the transients, or a single band, or only the transients on a single band. Use the real-time spectrum analyzer to track down problematic resonances or transients by displaying the tonal and transient streams separately. SplitEQ adds a new dimension to your trouble-shooting toolkit.

Prepared for Repair

Eventide’s team took all the knowledge they had about recording, threw it out the window, then headed down to the studio to lay down some badly recorded tracks. Double-headed kick drum with no port? Check. Ill-advised mic placement on snare? Check. Why? To prove that SplitEQ works well on a wide range of sonically challenged material. Eventide created an entire folder of presets for those less-than-perfect recordings.

Features

• World-class 8-band parametric EQ with pristine musical filters.
• EQ Transient and Tonal parts of a sound separately using Eventide’s patented Structural Split™ technology.

T-Bone uses custom filters that do not have any of the wonky side effects to your high end that most digital filters have.

No matter what sample rate you are using, T-Bone will give you a smooth natural curve right up to Nyquist frequency.

T-Bone is a slant EQ at heart, with a few extra features that just make it that much more useful.

MAIN FEATURES

• Slant EQ simultaneously boosts and attenuates for quick tone shaping without gain increase
• High- and low-pass filters with resonance control
• Boom and Harsh controls tame unwanted side effects
• Wet/dry mix control
• Clean filters up to Nyquist limit
• Low CPU usage

What is a Slant EQ?
A slant EQ is a filter that simultaneously boosts one end of the frequency spectrum while attenuating the other end. As it turns out this is an amazingly useful tool for brightening or darkening your tracks very quickly.

Another reason this is super handy is that it allows you to change the tone of your track without changing the overall level. With traditional EQ plugins, as you boost certain frequencies, the overall sound gets louder.

The problem with this is that our brains have the screwy little feature where louder music tends to sound better (even if it actually sounds worse. Make sense?). A slant EQ works around that special feature in our brain so that you aren’t deceived by the changing level and you can know instantly if your are improving or worsening your sound.

Extra Features
While a slant EQ is a very handy filter to have, we have added a few features that make it even easier to dial in the sound you need.

We included a high pass filter with resonance control (think Bark of Dog) and low pass filter with resonance (henceforth to be known as Meow of Cat).

We also came up with this super hand feature called Boom and Harsh Control. Sometimes adding extreme amounts of slant EQ can have some nasty side effects. If slanted too far to the left, you can end up with a lot of low end build up. Slant too far to the right and you can get too much harsh high end. The Boom and Harsh Control lets you add massive amounts of slant without getting  harsh or boomy.

It’s really an essential part of what makes this plugin so easy to use. We also added mid/side mode and an analog mode that adds subtle distortion and compression to your sound. Enable that for some grit, or disable for super clean tone shaping.

Clean filters Without the CPU Hit
During the development of this plugin, we created some incredibly smooth filters that don’t have any of the crazy side effects on your high frequencies (technically known as wonk).

Our wonkless filters not only give you a smooth frequency response all the way up to Nyquist frequency, but they do this without adding that CPU hit that oversampled filters take.

HY-Filter4 is a semi-modular type effect plugin.

It contains multi-engine filter + built-in 38 effect units + 10 types of modulators + the CTRL SEQ. You can modulate parameters of the main filter, bult-in effects and modulators by using the modulation units.

In addition, these are controlled by the CTRL SEQ which is a grid sequencer

The plugin consists of 3 parts.

• FX Chain: Processes the input signal
• Modulator: Modulates the FX/Modulator parameters
• CTRL SEQ: Controls the FX/Modulator unit

FX CHAIN

Modulator

CTRL SEQ

CTRL SEQ

The CTRL SEQ has 16 tracks and 12 pattern snapshots.

These tracks will be assigned to effect/modulation units.

Once a CTRL SEQ track is assigned to a Modulator/FX unit, that unit will be under the control of the CTRL SEQ

Main Features:

• Multi-engine filter
• 38 built-in effect units
• 10 types of modulator (total 42 units)
• Built-in grid sequencer (CTRL SEQ) for controlling effect and modulator units
• Drag and drop modulation assignment
