New Analog-Style EQ Plug-In from Voxengo

(Click for a close-up)

GlissEQ is an analog-style equalizer in PC VST plug-in format. What sets GlissEQ apart is its dynamic equalization performance.

Using almost any existing equalizer you always get what you have set: if you specify a +6 dB boost at 100 Hz you get exactly a +6 dB boost at 100 Hz, also visible on the spectrum analyser.

GlissEQ offers a slightly different approach. When you specify +6 dB at 100 Hz you don't necessarily get +6 dB of gain. Actual filter gain is adjusted dynamically according to the program material you are performing filtering on.

Such 'dynamic nature' of GlissEQ gives you a much more friendly, assisting filtering experience says Voxengo. Boosting up the highs will not necessarily create the fatiguing effect of overload. Instead, you will get a pleasant transient-emphasizing effect bringing life and dimension to your track.

This transient emphasizing works for every frequency you tune the filter to: it can be useful at the lower and the mid frequencies to give more punch to the track. Moreover, the strength of transient emphasizing and the overall filter gain adjustment can be controlled with a special 'Dyn' control.
