Description: The Sonoris Mastering Equalizer (SMEQ) parametric equalizer is available in VST, AU, AAX, and RTAS formats for Windows and Mac. There is a linear phase load or a minimum phase load for each range that can be selected. We intend to use the plugin for mixing and, more specifically, mastering because it has seven bands and low-pass, high-pass, peaking, and shelving filters.
SMEQ can improve or correct hard material like recordings of orchestras, vocal or instrumental soloists, bands, and complex mixes without adding unwanted coloration. SMEQ's linear phase simply increases or decreases the frequency range without adding "sound," giving the effect a transparent appearance. The picture and depth of the original sound have not changed. When you boost or cut, a standard equalizer does not have any of these negative effects.
Back-forward filtering was the foundation for the linear phase algorithm SMEQ, which has not yet been implemented in some expensive, high-end EQs. The method's main advantage is that I can use IIR filters instead of FIR filters, which are typically used in linear phase implementations. I was familiar with IIR filters due to their analog nature and superior efficiency to FIR filters. The SMEQ filters are virtually identical to those in the Sonoris EQ and have the correct gain up to Nyquist.
Stereo, L, R, or (M) ID and (S) wide channels can be handled by each group. Processing middle or additional information can be extremely beneficial in certain circumstances. For instance, you can improve centered vocals while preserving the integrity of other instruments when mastering. or to the middle of the bass without affecting the stereo image of anyone else. Modifications are simple with SMEQ because you can monitor either the LR or MS channels.
The plugin's large graphic display shows you exactly what you'll get. We can adjust the plugin's size to meet your requirements by dragging the bottom right corner.
With the Sonoris Mastering Equalizer, there are modes for automatic upsampling as well as manual upsampling of 2x, 4x, or 8x. As the frequency rises, the SMEQ responds even more precisely, particularly at higher frequencies.
