Hello, fellow musician and sound engineer! Ready to add legendary character and surgical precision to your tracks? Introducing the EQ560 plugin from Red Rock Sound – a digital reincarnation of the iconic 1967 API 560 10-band graphic equalizer. This plugin doesn’t just emulate the sound, it conveys the spirit and functionality of the original, offering unparalleled tone-shaping capabilities with a classic analog touch.
Dive into the Classics: Red Rock Sound EQ560
The EQ560 is your key to a warm, musical, and extremely flexible equalizer that has proven its value in countless hit records for decades. Developed by Red Rock Sound, this plugin brings the vintage magic of the API 560 directly to your digital audio workstation (DAW), making it accessible for modern production. Thanks to its intuitive graphical interface, you can visually control each frequency band, easily “drawing” your desired equalization curve.
Whether you need to emphasize the bass, add clarity to vocals, tame harsh guitar frequencies, or simply give your mix an overall analog shine, the EQ560 will handle it with elegance and precision. Its high headroom ensures clean operation even with significant boosts, making it the perfect tool for both subtle polishing and radical sound transformation.
Key features of the EQ560 that make it special:
- 10 bands of signature equalization: Full control spectrum with ten bands, located at octave centers, allows for precise work with the necessary frequencies.
- Intuitive graphic control: Easy and quick setup thanks to the visual representation of the equalization curve.
- ±12 dB range for each band: Sufficient headroom for any task – from fine correction to expressive tonal shaping.
- Unique “Proportional Q” function: This signature feature automatically changes the filter quality factor (Q): with a small boost/cut, the band becomes wider for more musical and transparent changes, and with a significant boost/cut – narrower for more precise, surgical work. This ensures both musicality and accuracy without the need for manual Q adjustment.
- IN/OUT switch: Instant comparison of the processed and unprocessed signal for an objective assessment of the changes made.
The Red Rock Sound EQ560 plugin is more than just an equalizer. It is a tool that breathes life into your recordings, giving them that elusive “analog” feel that is valued in professional sound engineering. It is stable, efficient, and compatible with Windows operating systems (32 and 64 bit) in VST format.
Why choose the EQ560?
If you are looking for an equalizer with character that can be both a musical instrument for tonal design and a precise tool for correction, the EQ560 from Red Rock Sound is an excellent choice. It is ideal for processing individual instruments, groups, or even for mastering when a classic analog flavor is needed. Its Proportional Q function makes the equalization process more intuitive and effective, allowing you to focus on the music and not on technical details.
