The Earth, Air, Fire, and Water settings change the tone quite a bit.īut it doesn’t add much in the way of harmonic distortion. You may be wondering why we’ve called this a transparent EQ. This is great for filtering out specific frequencies. Focusing the boost and cut almost entirely on the center frequency. This can be helpful when you want a really smooth boost or cut.įire narrows the resonance curve. So every frequency is boosted fairly similarly, and the center frequency isn’t louder. And the frequencies around it increase and decrease in volume on an exponential scale. Generally speaking, EQs have pretty similar resonance curves.
But what exactly does that mean?Ĭhanging the character changes the resonance curve of each EQ band.
Using the Character knob, you can dial the EQ in to sound more watery or more fiery. It has four different color profiles: Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.Įarth boosts the low frequencies while Air turns up the highs.īut Water and Fire are where things get especially interesting. It packs plenty of punch with its sound quality. Mid-Side EQ, Parametric, Transparency Recommended for Transparency, Parametric, Mid-Sideīut it's not just a visually striking plugin.
