This is a very powerful feature, often a mix saver when matching sources recorded in different locations, or with different gear, and making them sound unified.Īn Invert option can be used to create an EQ mirror image, matching to sources that are fighting for space in a mix, and inverting the EQ curve of one with the other. The NUGEN Audio Send plug-in that is included allows you to match EQ from any track in your mix. The match and morph EQ features round out the feature set of this plugin, making a goto device for all your timbral sculpting needs.

It nearly allows sounds transparent, unless you go to extremes. The Banding feature allows you to setup the operation of EQing to be musical, creative, or surgical. The versatility of this EQ makes it ideal for every stage of music production, recording, mixing, and mastering, either in stereo or surround. The overall result is very smooth, clean, and protects transients from smearing due to any distortion of the phase in the signal. Having controls for depth and sharpness allows for greater control in refining the curve you have created.

You can EQ the full frequency and dynamic range, or you can zoom the frequency and amplitude scales to focus and limit the range you are addressing. In operation, the plugin is very fast and intuitive to operate. You can use up to 3 EQ curves simultaneously. The spline functionality allows you to directly draw the EQ curve you want, aided by a spectrum analyzer. In the stereo version, the mid, side, left, right, or left & right can be assigned.įor each channel, you have a spectrum analyzer that can display the signal being processed pre or post EQ. SEQ-S features 3 channels, so 3 EQ curves can be created that can be assigned to process different channels in the audio. Here you have functions like Zone, which allows you to protect an area from alteration, or exclude a range outside the Zone from changes.ĭepth and Sharpness allow you to adjust the range of the EQ changes and angle of the curve created, respectively. The bottom section of the plugin contains processing and control options. Bark Thirds – As the bark Scale, but with twice the number of curves.Mel – As with the Bark scale above, with a slightly different curve.

The bands narrow where the ear is more sensitive and broaden where a distinction is harder to define. This is a psycho-acoustically derived scale that splits the frequency range into bands according to how well the ear can differentiate the frequencies i.e. Bark – Arranges the bands according to the Bark scale.Chromatic – Sets the nodes at chromatic intervals.Sixths – Splits the frequency range into equal 1/6 octave bands.Thirds – Splits the frequency range into equal 1/3 octave bands.A “banding” option allows you to set the scale of the control points. The main area in the center contains a Graphical readout and direct-draw zone, where you can directly draw your EQ curve. In the Utility controls section you have Presets, unlimited undo/redo, and an A/B section. It’s a versatile, musical, and creative EQ, so let’s check it out. 2 formats – Surround (up to 7.1), and Stereo (stereo and mid/side processing).In this article, we will discuss NUGEN’s SEQ-S high-resolution EQ plugin.
