It really deserves an entire article of its own but I’ll try and break down a few of the coolest bits.įirst off, let’s talk about digital EQ’s for a second. I feel like i’ve barely scratched the surface of what this EQ can do and every time I use it, I find new features. And for people who don’t, this plugin is also for you because it’s optional. For people who like to get under the hood to tweak and hack their software, this one is for you. The amount of features this plugin has is ridiculous.
Nothing like this has ever hit the market til now. Equilibrium is hands down, the next level digital EQ. The follow up to Equality, brought to you by the brains behind Sonalksis plugins, Dave Gamble. It’s no wonder why this one is so popular, ergonomically sound and at no cost to sonic quality. Other EQ’s offer M/S but I’ve found them to be more limiting usually. In addition, it also has the ability to create unlimited (?) bands simply by double clicking the interface and any of them can be put into M/S mode for treating the mono and stereo information separately. It’s super efficient on processing, has a great built in analyzer, nice big interface and sounds great. Over the past few years, Pro-Q has become a staple within the dance music production community. Nothing kills workflow like a processing error every 10 seconds. If you’re running an ancient computer, maybe you’re better off with onboard DAW EQ. Beyond that however, some EQ’s go way deeper than others, providing you with onboard tools like M/S and wide arrays of filter slopes, curves and even phase adjustment! Once you establish that a digital EQ is error-free and in good working order, then it really just comes down to ergonomics and preference. The sharper and more precise it is, the quicker you’ll get your job done.Įvery DAW has its own onboard EQ but they’re not all created the same (see the ‘Use Plugins That Work With You, Not Against You’ blog entry). When it comes to mixing dance music, the digital eq is the master chef’s blade.
