HoRNet Plugins has announced the release of ZeroEQ, an intelligent automatic equalizer plugin featuring dual-engine analysis for corrective EQ and tonal shaping.
ZeroEQ is designed to identify and address frequency problems in audio material through automatic analysis. The plugin combines two complementary processing engines: HarmoniQ for harmonic resonance detection and removal, and BalanceEQ for overall spectral balance correction. Both engines operate simultaneously, providing surgical correction and broad tonal adjustments in a single plugin.
Key features include:
- Automatic harmonic detection (up to 30 harmonics) using FFT analysis (8192 points).
- Real-time frequency spectrum analysis with visual feedback.
- HarmoniQ engine: Identifies and removes problematic resonances automatically.
- BalanceEQ engine: Analyzes and balances overall frequency spectrum.
- Manual control options: Brightness adjustment, V-Shape control for midrange sculpting.
- Loudness compensation option for automatic gain matching.
- Dual visual displays showing both analysis engines simultaneously.
- Low CPU usage with optimized DSP processing.
