QRange: Your New Level of Equalization
Discover QRange from lkjb Plugins – an innovative IIR linear-phase equalizer designed for the most demanding sound correction tasks. This plugin combines the exceptional precision of linear phase with unprecedented flexibility, making it a powerful tool for both subtle mastering and creative sound design.
Forget about phase distortions that often occur when using traditional equalizers. QRange allows you to shape the sound spectrum with absolute transparency, preserving the integrity and naturalness of your audio material. Its intuitive interface and rich feature set open up new possibilities for working with sound.
Visual Control: Spectrum Analyzer
One of the key features of QRange is the built-in spectrum analyzer, which provides comprehensive visual information about your signal. You can configure it to analyze the signal both before (pre-EQ) and after (post-EQ) applying equalization, using the same routing schemes available for individual bands. This allows you to accurately see the effect of your corrections.
The analyzer’s scale can be easily adjusted by dragging the vertical scale to the right (becomes visible when the analyzer is activated), allowing you to adapt the visualization to the specific dynamic range of your signal for the most comfortable and effective work.
Deep Editing: 12 Control Bands
QRange puts 12 fully independent equalization bands at your disposal. Each band is extremely flexible and can be used as:
- Peak filter (Peak)
- Shelf filter (Shelf)
- Cut filter (Cut)
Cut filters (varieties of High-Pass and Low-Pass) are available with different slopes: 12, 24, and 48 dB/octave. This allows for both soft and very sharp cutting of unwanted frequencies.
A unique feature of QRange is the independent routing for each individual band. You can apply correction to the following channels:
- Stereo
- Left channel (Left)
- Right channel (Right)
- Mid signal (Mid)
- Side signal (Side)
This functionality opens up endless possibilities for fine-tuning the stereo field, allowing you to, for example, remove excessive “hum” only in the middle of the mix or add “air” only to the side components.
For convenience, the bands can be sorted by frequency, which simplifies navigation and editing.
Convenience and Flexibility
In addition to powerful equalization capabilities, QRange offers a number of convenient features that improve the workflow:
- Global Gain control for quick adjustment of the overall signal volume after equalization, helping to avoid the “louder = better” effect.
- User interface, the size of which can be changed, adapting it to your screen and working environment.
- Additional menu (available via the gear icon), which allows you to fine-tune the plugin’s behavior, including adjusting the analyzer range, frequency display, and even setting the plugin delay. Here you can also save the equalizer state and interface size as default settings for new instances of the plugin, which significantly speeds up work.
Your New Favorite EQ?
With the combination of linear-phase processing, deep control over each of the 12 bands, flexible routing, and a user-friendly interface with an analyzer, QRange from lkjb Plugins becomes an extremely valuable tool in the arsenal of any sound engineer, musician, or producer. Try it and see how clean and accurate equalization can be!
