Let me expand on what I mean.
Let's say there's a Parametric EQ plugin that can read each instance of its self in your workstation inserts. Each time you add this Parametric EQ to a bus, or a send or whatever you like, it shows up in a tab inside each other instance. The graph inside has the ability to allow you to look at two of them simultaneously, with a transparent overlay and compare the analyzer graphs, and allows you to pick a color for each one that get blended in some way to let you see overlapping frequencies where a conflict is located between them.
Each node that the user adds can be controlled with mid/side processing or simple stereo processing. The handles on the EQ nodes can be engaged on both simultaneously and programmed a few various ways. either to mirror each other on the X axis but inverted on the Y axis, so as to cut one is to boost the other, unless the nodes are decoupled on one or both axes, the nodes in the EQ can also be static or dynamic.
The dynamic mode does whatever the user sets it's mode to whether that be to mirror or opposite to the other EQ graph.
The EQ would also allow the user to input a sidechain that takes an incoming audio signal and uses the average level of the sound to sweep through or boost frequencies at a specifiable range, so as to temporarily filter an area when the incoming signal is playing, attack and release times can be specified too. this would be useful for smoothing out artifacts.
The filters would be the common known types, such as highpass lowpass bandreject bandpass high shelf, lowshelf and peak/dip and tilt filters that have adjustable slopes and Q. The EQ filters could be set by the user to be clean and surgical, or dirty and saturated where the level of saturation can be linked to the boost or cut levels of each node, or increased from a saturation knob that is dedicated to each EQ node. The number of the nodes that can be added for each instance would be 8, this way you can have more instances that can have nodes linked. Bear in mind that linking nodes is linkable on X or Y axes, could be one or both axes.
Im not sitting here wanting anything in exchange for this idea, it's an idea that has been done before, I know that there are plugins like Neutron, Track Spacer, and a few others that Sort of act like this. I'm writing this because I've never been fully satisfied with either of those plugins, and would like to share my thoughts. I'm not asking for credit, I'm just putting my thoughts out there, and if someone were to come along and make this plugin, hell I'd even buy it.
Anyone else think that this plugin would be cool or do you have your own ideas on what would be neat? Share your thoughts here with me and we can see what types of ideas come along. looking forward to hearing from you.
