FireEQ

Beyond equalization

Imagine an EQ that can not only boost and cut frequencies but also change the overall dynamics of the track and give it additional space. That's FireEQ - the equalizer which will change the way you mix your tracks. 

Features

• Not an ordinary EQ - There's no reason for another usual equalizer. FireEQ combines several EQ techniques that will ease your life, no matter if you mix or master.

• Add analogue touch - Low and high-shelf filters are modelled after the most favoured vintage-style analogue equalizers. That gives the resulting signal a warm analogue feel.

• Dark/Bright balance - With a single knob, FireEQ controls the overall colour of the mix. In a fragment of a second, you may change the mood of your track, making it brighter or darker as you wish.

• Pump it up - The Magic knob implements a complex dynamic processing, which flattens the sound making things more even. Essentially, it amplifies what is silent and attenuates what is loud, just like a multiband compressor.

• Treat the low end right - Unlike other EQs, FireEQ's low-cut filter contains a side kill function. That specifies the frequency of a filter, which only affects the "side" signal of the stereo image. This helps remove all stereo content for low frequencies, which could otherwise cause problems on bigger playback systems.

• Control stereo image - Each of the eight FireEQ's core frequencies has an extra Side/Mid knob. This defines the gain of the filters affecting neighbouring frequencies, with opposite gain for mid and side signals. You gain control over the ratio between the mid and side in that area and the stereo image.

• Automatic Gain Compensation - Automatic gain compensation quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better. In some cases, it is just louder.

• Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI - The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

• 64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate - The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

• Smart bypass - The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don't get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency, ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

• Intelligent sleep on silence - This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. If not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.
