Use Elevayta's Clone Boy and FreEq Boy, Firium, HarBal or AAMS. Or you can use something like Voxengo's SPAN to view a source's EQ and adapt your own settings. I generally use Firium to match up voice over takes with great success, and I believe Elevayta's plugs are highly liked, but my demos timed out ages ago, so I'm not certain.

Also Voxengo CurveEQ and iZotope Ozone can do this.
For both apps are downloadable manuals available to check (if you need further info).

Thanks for the mention.bduffy wrote:Use Elevayta's Clone Boy and FreEq Boy.

I'm in a position to provide a temporary extension license for the demos (upon email request). In case you want to try them again.
Note: The demo of earlier plug-ins have less functionality and higher CPU usage than the most recent licensed versions. However, the functionality is enough to provide a "taster". The product web pages indicate more of the available current functionality.
Users of 'FreEq Boy' find it Quote: "a VERY useful plugin".
Happy New Year

thanks, but i actually have both curveEQ and firium and was wondering if anyone had any specific tips. mostly on full mixes. i.e. what is the ideal number of bands to use in curveEQ, things like that

FYI
FreEq Boy uses up to 2048 frequency bands for spectral matching. The ideal number of bands to use is "as many as possible". Note also that FreEq Boy is not colouring the signal because it doesn't try and mimic analogue hardware - it performs a straightforward mathematical match at the highest resolution. I think this is quite different to any other spectral matching EQ.
The demo is free to try and it doesn't take a minute to compare results.
