iZotope Ozone 11 EQ Module just turned free-for-all, as part of Native Instrument’s recently updated Komplete Start bundle (which also came with a lot of new additions such as the base version of Replika delay, more Kontakt libraries, and Raum reverb, my personal fav).

(interestingly it doesn’t have Audiolens integration [yet])

Which ones of EQ listed here are capable of making “matching” i.e. taking an EQ curve from one sound and applying it to another?

In reply to Johannes. If you try that with another emulation thatactually does work you will see how elegantly that trick helps to shape the drum bus and to bring out the HH a little more. Analog Obsession's RARE SE is great at doing that. Give it a try.

In reply to Johannes. Oh sorry, I forgot to add: Set the Bandwith to sharp.

In reply to lI1.

I am sorry for the late reply. I don’t get mail notifications that I got replies…which would help to stay up to date:)
Anyways, It is easy to recreate (and still not fixed, I downloaded the latest version to check).
Set the HF attenuation to 10kHz. Set the HF Boost to 10kHz. Set “Cut” to 10. Set “Boost” to 10. There you go, a terrible, ear piercing HF peak that shouldn’t be there. (It also “works” with 8kHz)
Now, why would anyone want to fully cut and fully boost at the same frequency? Well, you know, the Pultec trick doesn’t only work on bass frequencies. I use that trick to push the Hihat a little bit more on drum busses. And this is how I found out about that bug years ago.

It’s a plugin from Yuri Semenov aka PseudoStereo, and there’s quite a lot of them.

The easiest to download them is to go to his YouTube channel and follow the Google Drive links from the individual videos.

audiotoolsblog.blogspot.com/ is a spanish language blog with news about those plugins, if spanish is more your thing.

Has anyone ever run across YS- EQ- 1- Vintage 2M?? Amner Hunter suggested it in a YT video recently. I find very little about it except this appears to be the author’s video with download links and very good remarks about it:

Excellent article! I loved EQ 81 by IK Multi Media when it was free but its high cpu doesn’t love me back. I use MEq, ReaEQ, Tiny Q, and BC Triple EQ a lot they seem to serve me well in most cases. The only paid one I always use is AA-551 Channel Strip by Audio Assault, I got it for $9.99 when it was on sale.
