But the icing on NOVA’s cake is the implementation of dynamic EQ – that is, per-band envelope following gain modulation, tracking the input signal or an external sidechain – which really does put it in a class of its own in the free arena, as far as we’re aware.Įach band can be switched to dynamic mode independently of the others, so you can freely mix regular and dynamic processing in a single instance of the plugin, and the possibilities this opens up are broad and empowering: multiband compression, de-essing, clamping down on problematic resonances, etc. Pushing the boundaries of what can be expected from a free equaliser, TDR’s incredible plugin would be well worth the download just for its four parametric/shelving bands (10Hz-40kHz), low- and high-pass filters, and easy interactive display. It also installs in Mono, Stereo and Dual versions, the last separating the two stereo input channels for independent left/right or mid/side adjustment. It’s a nifty setup that works well for both ‘musical’ and surgical equalisation of instruments, busses and mixes, and coming from the mighty Blue Cat, the sound and response (it’s zero-latency) are second to none. The width of the parametric band is separately adjustable (mousewheel or knob), and the gain of the response curve can be offset or switched to automatically peak at 0dB. The gains of the two shelves at 20Hz and 22kHz are adjusted using the handles on the left and right of the graph display, while dragging the central node adjusts their corner frequencies, as well as the centre frequency and gain of the mid band, thereby, indeed, making the whole thing feel like a single complex filter. Comprising high and low shelving bands and a parametric mid band, Triple EQ is designed to operate like a filter with a limitlessly adjustable shape.
