LP10 CM

LP10 CM is part of the DDMF CM EQ Pack, which is free with Computer Music magazine issue 179. The pack contains two equaliser plug-ins for PC and Mac, in VST and AU formats: IIEQ Pro CM is an all-purpose EQ, whereas LP10 is focused more on mastering, offering linear phase and variable phase operation. They are based on DDMF's commercial IIEQ Pro and LP10 plug-ins.

Common features of both plug-ins:

• Six bands of EQ.
• Click and drag on graph to create and edit EQ bands.
• Create/edit EQ bands directly via lower parameter strip.
• A/B comparison.
• Adjustable graph scale (-5:5dB, -10:10dB, -20:20dB).
• Use mouse-wheel to adjust band Q.
• Hold Ctrl to "auto-listen" to the band.
• Output gain dial.

LP10 CM features:

• Fully adjustable phase for each EQ band.
• Sweep smoothly ase from minimum phase (ie, normal digital EQ) to linear to inverse minimum phase.
• Global linear phase and minimum phase buttons, for convenience.
• Built-in stereo width adjustment (useful for mastering).
• Standard peak/bell, 12dB low-pass and 12dB high-pass filters.
• "Flex" filters: peak, notch, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, low-shelf and high-shelf.
• Smoothly adjust the slope of the Flex filters, from 6dB/octave up to 60dB/octave.

The full, paid-for versions of IIEQ Pro and LP10 offer the following additional features:
