MEQ-5

MEQ-5 Plug-in

Dive deep into the critical midrange with the MEQ-5 plug-in, meticulously modeled on a revered 1970s classic mid-range equalizer. This tool is essential for mastering the “power region” of audio tracks—ranging from 300 Hz to 5000 Hz—where most sound energy lies and the human ear is most sensitive. Key features include:

• Dual Boost Bands: Boost frequencies between 200 Hz and 5 kHz, allowing precise sculpting of key audio elements like vocals and lead instruments.
• Midrange Dip: Carve out space by attenuating problematic frequencies, enhancing clarity and mix depth.
• Analog Warmth: Add subtle harmonic distortion to digital signals for a richer, vintage sound.

HLF-3C Plug-in

Complementing the MEQ-5, the HLF-3C plug-in offers straightforward, powerful filtering capabilities with a design based on a classic passive filter unit. This plug-in eliminates the traditional insertion loss associated with its hardware counterpart, making it a modern tool for achieving historical soundscapes. Features include:

• Low and High Cut Filters: Each offering 10 selectable frequencies for flexible and musical tonal shaping.
• Plug-in Bypass Control: Quickly compare processed and unprocessed signals for on-the-fly adjustments.
• Unity Gain Design: Ensures no initial signal loss when engaged, unlike the original hardware.

Together, the MEQ-5 and HLF-3C plug-ins are invaluable for producers and engineers aiming to incorporate the sonic essence of classic hardware with the flexibility and precision of digital processing.
