TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing/mastering equalizer designed for
ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.
Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High
semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes,
each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto
gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during
EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the
stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference
encoding.
In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic
content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 3
different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and
interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add
the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.
An advanced 64bit multirate processing scheme practically
eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency
warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.
Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array
of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B
comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support
and much more.
