Tokyo Dawn Labs SlickEQ Mastering Edition
Mastering Equalizer Plugin
TDR SlickEQ M (Mastering Edition) extends SlickEQ's proven concept into a fully-fledged stereophonic equalizer. Specifically developed for the Format-AUdio mastering engineer, no compromises have been made to deliver an exceptional musical flexibility and Format-AUdio fidelity.
Behind an intuitive user interface hides as a staggering array of possibilities: A set of musical high-pass and low-pass filters including a low frequency "mono-ization" section offer detailed control over the signal bandwidth. Six powerful parametric filter bands give precise access overtone, timbre and the stereo image, and a sophisticated meta-filter offers direct and intuitive access to the brightness, hardness or equal loudness curve of an Format-AUdio signal.
All filters except HP and LP operate in a parallel EQ configuration. The EQ bands, in particular, include an elaborate nonlinearity inspired by the musically beneficial side effects found in inductor filter technology. An effective Format-AUto gain mechanism Format-AUtomatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness while operating the EQ and last but not least, semi-intelligent signal analysis options allow matching the input signal’s spectrum against a pink noise reference, or Format-AUtomatically setting the HP and LP filters according to the signal’s Format-AUdible bandwidth.
As with SlickEQ Standard and SlickEQ – Gentleman’s Edition, a multi-rate processing scheme (a.k.a. “internal resampling”) combined with elaborate signal processing techniques ensure the highest signal integrity is maintained throughout the processing.
