Does anyone know of a plugin that offers the same or simalar features as this:

while I really like the idea
and process, this plug offers, im not so keen on the sound of the filter

Just download Voxengo SPAN (free plugin), set it to show a slope of 4.5dB or 5dB. Now use your favourite equalizer to make the line as straight as possible (except there should be a fall after 10khz and before 50hz usually).

For best results, just analyse a favourite commercial tune first, look at where the dips/peaks are and the general 'line' then try matching that with your own material using your favourite EQ.

Another plug-in to check out is Elevayta's FreEQ boy. Not only can it do HarBal-like stuff, but if you want to draw the EQ curve the way bManic suggests, you can do it fairly easily with freehand in the program. :D

Very versatile plug... can be used for multi-notch and multi-boost weirdness, too, mangling the crap out of sounds. :D

Voxengo CurveEQ or HarmonEQ

Post

GlissEQ followed by SPAN tilts my mixes any way I like - I use the bmanic method above - the tilt and bass/mid/high details are different but the technique is the same & simple. Also I don't mind snatching the bass curve from a commercial recording and having CurveEQ suggest some nice changes with it's spectrum match (I can just get rid of the mid and high EQ changes if I don't like them after my A/B test)

BTW later on Har-Bal is coming out with some different averaging schemes so that a single static representation or snapshot of the entire audio clip isn't presented - I haven't seen it yet but I assume it will breath with the actual music a bit more.
