Match Eq Plugin Full Of Features

If I want to create a further sonic distinction between the elements that are hard-panned, and the ones that sit straight up the middle, I often reach for some sort of MidSide processor.

Having used them before (Ive also been lucky enough to have visited the Manley Labs Factory), I can honestly say that the Massive Passive is a work of art, in both functionality and sound.

The high end is silky, the low end is defined, and the quality of everything in between solidifies the Massive Passive as an extremely musical equalizer, great for almost any task an engineer might need it for.

High and low pass, a choice between shelf or bell on each band, Stereo Unlink its truly versatile in addition to sounding flawless.

Inexperienced engineers may be intimidated by the sheer number of controls found on the Massive Passive, but its extremely easy to use once you get used to it.

It also works in mid-side mode, which is helpful for treating material like vocals, kick or bass independently of any material that might be panned to the sides.

It has many other functions, and if youre in the market for a surgical, transparent EQ plugin, I highly recommend this one.

Though this is traditionally more of a mix buss EQ, if a master needs clarity or low end weight, the Pultec does a fantastic job, and very quickly.

However, I do find the Curve Bender feels more vintage, vibey and colorful.

If I need something to feel more expressive, or pronounced in the upper-mids or highs, Ill definitely choose the Curve Bender.

All of the color and tone of the TG12345 available to process content in the center independently from the sides.

I may reach for one of the aforementioned equalizers for color, but if I need a quick, all-in-one solution, iZotopes Ozone 7 cant be beat.

This allows you to identify and capture the frequency spectrum of a chosen mix or master, and then apply it to your own material.

The Pro-Q 3 is a swiss-army knife equalizer, capable of handling basically any application you throw at it, quickly and effectively.

Updates to Pro Q 3 include the ability to make any of the bands dynamic, meaning that they will not any effect on the signal unless it passes a set threshold.

This EQ is chock full of features that make it an ideal choice if youre in need of a mostly transparent, surgical tool for mastering including.

Aside from your ears telling you if there are issues in the 6-10khz range, the Pro-Q 3 provides excellent visual feedback via its gorgeous metering and will tell you if theres an excess in this (or any) frequency range.

Ill create a band at the problem frequency, engage dynamic EQ mode, and attenuate to taste.

What makes this EQ even more powerful is the ability to choose midside mode per band.

So if the offending vocal-only occurs up the middle, Ill make sure to set the band(s) appropriately.

The hardware was lauded for its twin topology design, allowing users to utilize both solid-state and tube signal paths.

The differences between the vacuum-tube and J-FET solid-state signal paths are subtle, and regardless of what one chooses, the sound is open, musical and clean.

The plugin also features a trim control, so you can level match and ensure that the changes youve made actually improve your material, rather than simply make it louder.
