Antelope Audio VEQ-56

10-band Graphic EQ Plugin

VEQ-56 is a 10-band graphic EQ coming from a line of US mixing desks made throughout the '60s and '70s.

It is known for its high headroom, consistency, ease of use, and above all its trademark American sound.

VEQ-56 is a surgical graphic EQ that feels both musical and corrective.

Particularly important is its unique automatic Q adjustment, which controls the filter bandwidth at the high and low extremes of each band.

By design, the filter bandwidth is widened at lower amounts of boost or cut and narrowed at higher ones.

This results in an unmistakable sound with a punchy, precise character.

Just like with every vintage-inspired plugin in the Synergy Core Native library, all aspects of the 1969 original feel and operation of this EQ have been faithfully reproduced by the Antelope Audio team of engineers.


History

VEQ-56 originates from a highly revered line of 1960-70s American mixing desks.

Long since its first introduction, this 10-band graphic equalizer remains highly sought after.

Some of the reasons for the sustained interest in this peculiar unit include its high headroom, consistency, and ease of use.

But the most important one is its trademark American sound.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
