Tokyo Dawn Labs SlickEQ Gentleman's Edition
3 Band + 3 Filter Equalizer Plugin
TDR VOS SlickEQ – Gentleman’s Edition takes SlickEQ's concept to new heights and adds an exotic "Tilt"-filter flanked by flexible low-pass and high-pass filters. Five distinct EQ models provide a rich set of predefined EQ curves and behaviours for the three main semi-parametric filter bands.
SlickEQ GE offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and seven different output stages. These options offer subtle and interesting textures, from the typical "mojo" often associated with high-quality analogue Format-AUdio gear, up to more obvious saturation.
An elaborate Format-AUto gain option Format-AUtomatically compensates for changes of perceived-loudness during EQ (within reasonable limits) and a gain-trim feature helps controlling peak overloads with ease. The 64bit multi-rate processing scheme (a.k.a. “internal re-sampling”) practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency-warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.
Besides the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, a frequency magnitude plot, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more. Finally, SlickEQ GE allows to exclusively process the stereo sum or stereo difference without external sum/difference encoding (see "M/S" microphony).
