I was looking for something light and straightforward like ReaDelay in Reaper (which unfortunately crashes when used as a VST plugin in the Mutools MuLab application that I use frequently).

After a continuous search, I came across this brilliant find! Really looks similar to ReaDelay but has extra functionality. Extremely lite for CPU and RAM also! Use it with great pleasure.

There is an Linux version that works very well. Nice delay effect and very usable.

Can be found at sites that do not discriminate Linux Plugins or at github.

I use this over basically every dynamic EQ in existence. It doesn't even have adjustable band frequencies - you just boost or scoop 5 fixed bands. You can boost the bass, boost the treble, scoop (or boost) the mids. That's what you use it for. It's also zero latency, meaning you can delicately mix in the wet signal in your mixer without any nasty phase artifacts. So you can go a bit overboard and then dial it back. Then "High Boost" is useful if you want to boost only the extremely high frequencies. The Keep Gain button has also come in handy, if you don't want any amplification to occur from the EQing (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't). However the Mastering button seemed pointless to me, as well as the Analog button having no real discernable effect to me.

It's just quicker to work with, and in most cases this is all you need. I'm not so sure what makes it so special, perhaps the fact that the 2.5 kHz band is a shelf band, whereas most 7-band EQs use a peak band here. But it's always sounded good, while other random 7 or 8 band EQs just felt awkward to me and made me want to see what I was doing graphically, but with Luftikus, it doesn't matter if I can't see it - there's this connection, I know what to expect, and it almost always meets my expectations. It's almost like the bands are more optimized for our ears, for practical purposes. And it's free.

Amazing plugin. Simple to use, and it sounds amazing. I don't know why it works to the extent that it does, but it's more than the sum of its six frequency knobs- which are super easy to adjust by hovering the cursor and using the mouse wheel- it somehow blends and smooths out the audio without diminishing anything else. I also really like the keep gain function, which holds the volume level consistent while still allowing boost/cut without having to worry about overhead. It's not the only plugin you need, but it's not the one you want to go without once you've used it.

Its amazing what this plugin can do, many features that I used to need another 3 plugins to stuff like gain match, mid and side EQ along with stereo EQ... All of that can be done (well) in this plugin alone.

A free emulation of the Maag EQ4 that's even better than the paid Plugin Alliance version because of usability improvements like automatic gain matching. It doesn't work on everything due to its fixed EQ bands, but I love using it on electric bass.

The only option for who's looking for a decent free linear phase eq. Sounds incredible. Long live the developer.

The perfect plugin for doing the Andy Sneap multiband compressor trick on rhythm metal guitars. Simple and fast to work with, low latency, sounds great, easy on CPU. You can ofc use it to compress the low end on other sources as well, but I find it mostly useful on chugging metal guitars.
