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.
