Any way to create macros in the likes of Fabfilter Pro Q?

[adash123]

I created a custom high shelf curve for example which has a shelf that starts about 1k, rises to 5k and then has a slight dip around 10k using a bell.
I would like to automate the two eq points so that i can have a single control to for the high shelf i can map to my controler.

Anyone know if there is a workflow friendly way to do this?

I can probably do something like this in bitwig, but was hoping for a way to use it in Studio one/Cubase etc.

I cant find any way to do it within the plugins, but I can do it with macros in Studio one.

This is where Melda Production plugins shine... i.e. MDynamicEQ has so called "Multi parameters" which are actually a macro system and offer what you are looking for inside of the plugin.

The same goes for example with the nonexistence of a Midi note tracking system in Pro-Q... it cannot follow the notes you are playing which is actually essential when sound correcting sounds which are changing pitch...
I always found it ridiculous watching YT videos where someone spends a lot of time to edit the bass with Pro-Q on the root note and left it unedited/unautomated for the other pitches the bass played...
No problem with Melda EQ´s and many others.

So at the very end... as a allround EQ Pro-Q is not as "Pro" as many are thinking ... at least not for the price they are asking for...

I don´t know how to do that multi-DAW...
But If you are constantly switching DAWs, I recommend MEqualizer. It is free and have full macro control and honestly it is CPU consumption free.

Edit: I see that Trancit thought something similar to me. Although MEqualizer is the free version, and it is really capable.

That´s interesting.
What exactly can you edit ? Only min-max values per parameter, or also curvatures ?

Thanks. They have the MAutoDynamicEq on 65% off at the moment. Will check it out.

Be sure you really need the "Auto" version ... for me the normal version is more than enough...

Atm the "Auto" version is at 35€ while the normal version is at just 24€

It´s Melda... of course you have curvatures too... ...

No seriously... Melda has a very flexible system where you have a "transformation shape" as well with presets etc... freely editable...

To learn more they have a dedicated videos on just their inbuilt modulation system which is for all their plugins the same (though some smaller ones don´t have it included or just partly):
This is a playlist for just the "Multiparameters" (= Macros):

...
Nothing beats Melda when it comes to flexibility... you just have to deal with their visions of GUI´s which, while already much improved, aren´t the most fancy ones on the market...

Thanks for the info !

Thanks for the info !

Btw... and in regards of Melda GUI´s...
If this is something you are keen on (before you edited your post... yes, I have seen it! ) there is as well MorphEQ from Minimal Audio which is very capable of "precise Morphing" with any curvature you like and Shade from UVI should be able to do this with ease...
Another one I could imagine could do this would be apulsoft´s apQualizr2... this is a monster in terms of flexibilty as well... very underrated imho...

yeah, i just started to watch the video.......then i took out some over joyful anticipation in my post. ....it looks a bit complicated. I have the dyna EQ demo installed. Never tryed it. Now it makes demo noises. But it´s still there. Need to check that in real bevore i can generate some new anticipation, haha.

yeah, i have both. I stopped using the minimal Audio EQ after some patching with it. I don´t remember it to have "curvatures". Well, not the way i need to have them.
UVI Shade is great for some things. Never saw there morph controls with curvature edit either.


point here is:
i use GigPerformer as my Host.
I can create there within GP Morphs vs. CC mappings. But the main thing i´m looking to overcome is: "save the plugin related morph as a preset with the plugin". "This" mostly vs. EQing.

Well at least Melda plugins can provide that...

Yeah, need to look into it. Thanks ! i finally got to understand that
