Reflex Acoustics has released the BaseViper, a dynamic EQ plugin for enhancing low frequencies in music.
From the company:
Low frequencies are notoriously vulnerable to masking, which can make them sound atonal and muddy. BaseViper is a new plugin that aims to unlock the power of your low end by attenuating the frequencies most likely to be interfering with your deepest tones—i.e. those at a distance of 12.2% above and below on the spectrum. This effect can help to open up your mix and give your low end a more transparent sound.
Features:
- User-adjustable EQ cut depth and Q factor (i.e. sharpness).
- Variable frequency detection window from ~90 to ~360ms, with optional look-ahead function.
- Fixed effect range of 0-200Hz.
- Automatic make-up gain to match perceived loudness.
- ~22ms latency on default settings; adjustable via detector window and look-ahead settings.
- Supports common sample rates from 44.1 to 384kHz.
Price: $50 from reflex-acoustics.com. A free demo is available.
VST3 and AU formats for PC and Mac are currently supported, with AAX support coming soon.
