MAAT thEQblue12 Paramount MP Mastering EQ Plug-In Overview
This thEQblue12 Paramount Mastering EQ from MAAT features 12 different equalizers to work with. These include Classic Sym, Classic Asym, Proportional 1, Proportional 2, Proportional 3, Const-Q Asym, Const-Q Asy R, Const-Q Invers, Const-Q New, Const-Q Ideal, Parallel FF-FB, and Parallel LC Asy. Proportional EQs are best suited when combining overlapping sections, while the Constant Q EQ is best used for surgical precision. This EQ incorporates FiDef technology, which adds dithering to your digital signal, allowing you to capture that elusive analog feel.
Features
- Complete collection of classic analog (recursive IIR) equalizer emulations
- One dozen different equalizer types: 10 serial and 2 parallel
- Up to twelve PEQ styles for every job: classic, vintage, modern, and unconventional
- Exclusive proprietary FiDef processing: the audience feels their music like never before
- Different Q characteristics: classic, constant–Q, proportional, ideal–Q and special
- True high resolution emulation of analog equalizers, not modeling: no added noise, distortion or other nonlinearities
- Support for up to 384 kHz sample rate, suitable for HRA and game production and post
- Extended center and/or resonant frequencies up to 80 kHz for filtering and correction in the ultrasonic
- Bell filters in all PEQ types are normalized to look identically at +6 dB of gain and Q of 0.71, ideal for quick comparisons between types
- Twelve sections with 5 freely assignable parametric filter variants: bell, low shelf, high shelf, low cut and high cut
- For visually oriented engineers, PicturePerfect mode hides section details to concentrate on the curves
- Extremely low-noise and low-nonlinear-distortion algorithms result in residual THD+N significantly lower than 24-bit quantization noise
- Adjustable Q Factor for shelving and cut filters
- Multiple low- and high-cut filters can be overlapped to achieve brickwall slopes
- Very low noise and distortion upsampling for analog–like filters at baseband sample rates
- 80-bit internals (long double floats) virtually eliminate rounding errors
- Resizable and zoomable frequency response rendering for precise adjustments
- Parameter editing via numerical fields or directly on the Graph
- Presets for quick setup comparison
- Several instances, each with different PEQ architectures, can be opened simultaneously
- Stereo / Left–only / Right–only / Mono / Diff modes for each Section for all Serial types
- Band grouping function lets you simultaneously alter ƒ, Q, and gain for multiple Sections
- Six fMODES quantize the resonant ƒ setting of all Sections, including Massive Passive and Maselec
- Keyboard button enables you to target frequencies by ear, and then lock them to a Section with a click
- Tunable Keyboard so that the sonogram aligns with material’s tuning
- ƒ lock function when you’ve found your resonant frequency and want to alter just Q or gain
- True Peak metering alerts you to TP overs
- Sort button rearranges Sections in order, from low to high, with a single click
Applications
- Tracking, mixing and mastering
