Need suggestion on dynamic EQ

[DJErmac]

I absolutely disagree with this, sorry.

One note = one frequency. A piano MIDI keyboard is 61 to 88 notes.

You may need way more than this if you want to tweak a sample library, I very often need about 50. I de-mud every-note in the 250-650Hz range, and de-ess every single note in the 3500-11000Hz range. And that’s just the beginning. A single parameter works in no-case for all purposes. The Fletcher-Manson curve itself couldn’t be properly covered after hours of tweaking your curve, even if it’s what you’re after. Or it’s a monitors problem, an upgrade is needed. Mine are fine, they show big troubles with only 4 or 5 bands, sorry. And people pay for what I do.

I personally use Melda MADEq as a dynamiq EQ.

Isn't it the same as applying Soothe on that track?

I personally don’t really click with Soothe, but the idea is the same indeed.
I use MADEq when I want a snappier, alive sound.

TDR Nova EQ is all you need.

I need a dynamic EQ with >20 parametric bands. A quick search in the market gets me these:

Fabfilter Pro-Q3, TBT Kirchhoff EQ, Toneboosters Equalizer Pro.

How much do they differ? Any suggestions on which one to take?

There's several more available... including this Swiss army-knife:

showing the price of 13€ for me atm.

Doesn't have 20 bands, but nothing prevents you from having 4 in serial.

DMG Multiplicity because it's both a dynamic EQ and multi-band compressor in one.

I use the Melda dynamic EQ. It doesn't have 20 hands exactly. Each band can be expanded to a series of bands (8 i think) octaves or any other frequency relationship to the band's center frequency you care to set. It can be used as a resonator this way or remove annoying electrical sounds along with their harmonics. I'd recommend just using a spectral filter if you need so much control of frequencies. You can have 2048 bands that go all the way to silence with little CPU use.

Voxengo Soniformer or Voxengo TEOTE may suit you better.

You can't buy Voxengo anymore though unless you live in Russia because the payment provider withdrew their services due to sanctions

I think you can buy Voxengo direct again now! I believe TDR have helped them out via their payment system. Love TEOTE btw. Might not be the best tool for this purpose but it's a super useful tool for all kinds of jobs.

That's very cool of TDR to help Aleksey out and a +1 for Teote it's super cool as a subtle tamer

Fabfilter Pro-Q3 and TDR Nova GE work well for me. I usually only use five or fewer bands at once, though.

God bless TDR Nova and all it's given us.
Underrated aspect is the "+" mode in the processing options, it enables very subtle, smooth saturation.

Agreed, I picked this up after meaning to do so for so many years. It's a general EQ/dynamics toolkit, not just an EQ. Will have to check out the TB EQ Pro as well.
