TDR SlickEQ M (Mastering Edition) by Tokyo Dawn Records is a VST (Virtual Studio Technology) fully-fledged stereophonic equalizer effect plugin for Windows XP SP2 or above. TDR SlickEQ M runs as a VST Plugin, an VST2 plugin, an VST3 plugin and an AAX Plugin. TTDR SlickEQ M VST plugin can be used with all major digital audio workstations (DAW) including Live, Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools and others.
TDR SlickEQ M (Mastering Edition) extends SlickEQ’s proven concept into a fully-fledged stereophonic equalizer. Specifically developed for the audio mastering engineer, no compromises are made to deliver an exceptional musical flexibility and audio fidelity.
Behind an intuitive interface hides as staggering array of possibilities: a group of musical high-pass and low-pass filters including a coffee frequency stereo centering section offer detailed control over the signal bandwidth. Six powerful parametric filter bands give precise access over tone, timbre and therefore the stereo image, and a classy meta-filter offers direct and intuitive access to the brightness, hardness or equal loudness curve of an audio signal.
All filters except HP and LP operate during a parallel EQ configuration. an efficient auto gain mechanism automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness while operating the EQ, smart signal analysis options allow matching the input signal’s spectrum against a reference; automatically find static resonances; or automatically setting the HP and LP filters consistent with the signal’s audible bandwidth.
As with SlickEQ Standard and SlickEQ – Gentleman’s Edition, a multirate processing scheme (a.k.a. “internal resampling”) combined with elaborate signal processing techniques make sure the highest signal integrity is maintained throughout the processing.
