Luftikus: Analog EQ Character in Your DAW
Looking to add warmth and musicality to your tracks? Luftikus by lkjb Plugins is a digital adaptation of a classic analog equalizer, designed to give your sound vintage character with all the flexibility of a modern plugin. This tool easily integrates into your workflow and allows you to quickly achieve exceptional results. It combines fixed, musically selected frequency bands and advanced high-frequency boost capabilities, surpassing the original equipment in functionality.
Fixed Frequencies for a Musical Sound
Luftikus is based on half-octave bands, which have become a classic for tonal shaping:
- 10 Hz, 40 Hz (Low frequencies)
- 160 Hz, 640 Hz (Mid frequencies)
- 2.5 kHz (High shelf)
These points are ideal for quickly and effectively improving the sound of any instrument or mix, giving it a pleasant analog coloring.
Advanced High-Frequency Boost Section
To add “air,” “sparkle,” and crystal clarity, use a special HF boost section with selectable points:
- 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 20 kHz, 40 kHz
This allows you to work delicately or more expressively with the upper range of the spectrum, emphasizing details without harshness.
Key Digital Advantages of Luftikus
