SonEQ For Mac

SonEQ has 3 bands, bass, middle, treble and, in plus, a pre-amp section.

SonEQ is an equalizer modeled from two analogic devices: A550 and PulEQP. The pre-amp section have been carefully made to obtain a warmth effect.

Saturation stages do not simulate particularly any device, but they are based on some modes of the vintage devices. The first tube emulation stage, stands out the transients and it gives the sound depth, punchy and width.

Meanwhile, in the second stage, SonEQ smooths the transients. The result is a warmy and subtle distorsion that creates a sensation of amplitude.

Controls: · Input/Output: They control the input and output level. These controls are useful for saturation. As much is the level of input, we can get more saturation.

· Output Clip: When the output of the plugin exceed 0 dBfs, this led is switched on.

Note: SonEQ does not clip, this is because it works internally at 64 bits; but the led is used for knowing if we do not exceed 0 dBfs.

· HighPass/LowPass: Very soft and musical filters for assuring sonorous quality. The LowPass filter is high quality, this is because it does not become deformed in the nyquist frecuency. You can use these filters without shyness because they can assure you high quality.

· Low: Boost/Atten: Bass controls. Both, boost and atten are not perfectly aligned. in this way is possible to get surprising effects, combining both knob.

· Mid Freq: It controls middles, which extend from 150hz to 4khz. Mid Gain: It controls the gain of middles (-12 to +12). High Q: It    controls the bandwidth of middles, when this control is working the wave will narrow.

· Highs: It controls trebbles.

· Drive: It Controls saturation (which is linked to the “bass exiter”. If you do not want bass exiter, set the drive control at low values. Control saturation amount with the control “input”

· Woow: This control is a filter “all-pass” which generate a phase distortion, generating a psychacoustic soundround efect. This is only suitable to be used in fine mixing, and do not use it as tracking. Using this control incorrectly, may cause phase cancelation.

· VU METER: It controls distortion amount, from -20 to 20 is a soft saturation, which is ideal for buses or soften the mixing. From -10 to -4 is a little more clear, giving more hit to the material. From -3 to +1 for stronger saturations but avoiding to break. Over +1 is your choice.
